**ORDER**

**Adopted: June 19, 2007 Released: June 19, 2007**

By the Associate Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau:

1.  On April 14, 2005, SBC Communications Inc., now AT&T Inc. (AT&T),
    Qwest Corporation (Qwest), and the Verizon telephone companies
    (Verizon) filed separate petitions asking the Commission to
    reconsider its decision in the *PIC Change Charge Order* regarding
    how presubscribed interexchange carrier (PIC) change charges are
    determined.[^1] Specifically, AT&T and Qwest each filed a Petition
    for Reconsideration, and Verizon filed a Petition for
    Reconsideration or, in the Alternative, Petition for
    Clarification.[^2]

2.  On March 28, 2007, AT&T filed a letter seeking to withdraw its
    Petition for Reconsideration on grounds that its petition is now
    moot.[^3] On April 5, 2007, Qwest submitted a letter seeking to
    withdraw its Petition for Reconsideration, explaining it "no longer
    wishes to pursue the issues raised in the petition."[^4] In a filing
    on April 13, 2007, Verizon sought to withdraw its Petition for
    Reconsideration or, in the Alternative, Petition for Clarification
    without prejudice.[^5] We grant the requests of AT&T, Qwest, and
    Verizon to withdraw their petitions, and therefore terminate this
    proceeding in CC Docket No. 02-53.

3.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to the authority in
    sections 1-4, 201, 203, 205, and 403 of the Communications Act of
    1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154, 201, 203, 205, 403, and the
    authority delegated under sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the
    Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, the request by AT&T
    Inc. to withdraw its Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED.

4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to the authority in sections
    1-4, 201, 203, 205, and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
    amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154, 201, 203, 205, 403, and the authority
    delegated under sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission\'s rules,
    47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, the request by Qwest Corporation to
    withdraw its Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED.

5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to the authority in sections
    1-4, 201, 203, 205, and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
    amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154, 201, 203, 205, 403, and the authority
    delegated under sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission\'s rules,
    47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, the request by the Verizon telephone
    companies to withdraw their Petition for Reconsideration or, in the
    Alternative, Petition for Clarification without prejudice IS
    GRANTED.

6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to the authority in sections
    1-4, 201, 203, 205, and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
    amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151-154, 201, 203, 205, 403, and the authority
    delegated under sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission\'s rules,
    47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, this proceeding, which had been initiated
    by the petitions of AT&T Inc., Qwest Corporation, and the Verizon
    telephone companies as described above, therefore IS TERMINATED.

7.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to the authority delegated
    under sections 0.91, 0.291 and 1.102 of the Commission\'s rules, 47
    C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, 1.102, this order SHALL BE EFFECTIVE upon
    release.
