The wireline telecommunications carriers listed in the attached Appendix
have filed petitions with the Commission seeking extensions of the
deadline for complying with the capability requirements of section 103
of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), 47
U.S.C. § 1002, as provided by section 107(c) of CALEA, 47 U.S.C. §
1006(c). The Commission set out the procedures the staff will follow in
considering such petitions in CALEA Section 103 Compliance and Section
107(c) Petitions, *Public Notice*, FCC 00-154 (released April 25, 2000),
*as modified by* *Public Notice*, DA 00-1231 (released June 5, 2000)
(hereinafter CALEA Public Notices). The CALEA Public Notices are
available on the Internet at
www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Public_Notices/2000/fcc00154.doc and
www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Public_Notices/2000/da001231.doc.

The petitioners listed in the Appendix have satisfied the requirements
set out in the CALEA Public Notices for a preliminary determination that
their circumstances warrant an extension of the compliance deadline.
Accordingly, these petitioners are deemed to have an extension of the
deadline for complying with CALEA section 103 until March 31, 2001,
unless earlier revoked by the Commission or superseded by a final
determination on the underlying extension request, as described in
paragraph 10 of the April 25, 2000, CALEA Public Notice.

Interested parties may file comments concerning this matter on or before
**December 20, 2000**, and reply comments on or before **January 4,
2001**. All filings must reference **File No. NSD-L-00-234 and CC Docket
97-213.** Send an original and four copies to the Commission Secretary,
Magalie Roman Salas, Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW, Suite TW-A325,
Washington, D.C. 20554 and two copies to Al McCloud, Network Services
Division, Portals II, 445 12th Street, S.W., Room 6A-320, Washington,
D.C. 20554. All comments should be served on the carrier(s) filing the
underlying application(s) on which comments are being filed. As noted in
the April 25, 2000, CALEA Public Notice, the information provided by
petitioners to substantiate their requests will not be made routinely
available for public inspection. Parties seeking access to such
information must request such access pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 0.461 of
the Commission's rules.

Petitions filed pursuant to CALEA section 107(c) are classified as
\"permit but disclose\" proceedings for purposes of the Commission\'s ex
parte rules. *See generally* 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1200-1.1216. As a \"permit
but disclose\" proceeding, ex parte presentations will be governed by
the procedures set forth in section 1.1206 of the Commission\'s rules
applicable to non-restricted proceedings, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206. Parties
making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda
summarizing the presentation must contain a summary of the substance of
the presentation and not merely a listing of the subjects discussed.
More than a one or two sentence description of the views and arguments
presented is generally required. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(2). Other
rules pertaining to oral and written presentations are set forth in
section 1.1206(b) as well.
