SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s Order 

[DA 06–2548] released December 20, 

2006. The complete text of the Order is 

available for inspection and copying 

during business hours at the FCC 

Reference Information Center, Portals II, 

445 12th St. SW., Room CY–A257, 

Washington, DC 20554. The complete 

text of this document also may be

text may also be downloaded at: http:// 

www.fcc.gov. By the Order, the Wireline 

Competition Bureau (WCB) grants a 

request for an extension of time to file 

reply comments on a proposed process 

to address phantom traffic issues and a 

related proposal for the creation and 

exchange of call detail records filed by 

the Supporters of the ‘‘Missoula Plan.’’

The Missoula Plan was filed on July 24, 

2006 by the National Association of 

Regulatory Utility Commissioners’ Task 

Force on Intercarrier Compensation. 71 

FR 45510, August 9, 2006; 71 FR 54008, 

September 13, 2006; 71 FR 70709, 

December 6, 2006. Among other things, 

the Missoula Plan contained a 

Comprehensive Solution for Phantom 

Traffic, which called ‘‘for the filing of an 

industry proposal for a uniform process 

for the creation and exchange of call 

detail records.’’ On November 6, 2006, 

the Supporters of the Missoula Plan 

filed a written ex arte proposing an 

interim process to address phantom 

traffic issues and a related proposal for 

the creation and exchange of call detail 

records. On November 8, 2006, the WCB 

released a Public Notice requesting 

comment on the proposed phantom 

traffic interim process and call detail 

record proposal. 71 FR 67509, 

November 22, 2006. Thirty-nine (39) 

comments on this proposal were filed 

on December 7, 2006 and reply 

comments are due December 22, 2006. 

On December 18, 2006, the Supporters 

of the Missoula Plan filed a request for 

additional time to file reply comments 

on the phantom traffic proposal. 

The WCB determined that providing 

additional time to file reply comments 

will facilitate the development of a more 

substantive and complete record in this 

proceeding. Although it is the policy of 

the Commission that extensions of time 

shall not be routinely granted, the WCB 

determined that given the number of 

comments filed, the complexity of the 

issues raised in the proposal, and the 

importance of the phantom traffic issue 

to the industry, we find that good cause 

exists to provide parties an extension of 

time, from December 22, 2006 to 

January 5, 2007 for filing reply 

comments in this proceeding. 

Accordingly, it is ordered that, 

pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 5(c) 

of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 

154(i), 154(j), 155(c), and §§ 0.91, 0.291, 

and 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 

CFR 0.91, 0.291, 1.46, the pleading cycle 

established in this matter shall be 

modified as follows: 

Reply Comments Due: January 5, 

2007. 

All other filing procedures remain 

unchanged from those previously 

established in this proceeding. 

It is further ordered that the request of 

the Supporters of the Missoula Plan for 

an Extension of Time is granted, as set 

forth herein.

www.fcc.gov. By the Order, the Wireline 

Competition Bureau (WCB) grants a 

motion requesting an additional 

extension of the date for filing reply 

comments on an intercarrier 

compensation plan called the ‘‘Missoula 

Plan.’’ The Missoula Plan was filed on 

July 24, 2006 by the National 

Association of Regulatory Utility 

Commissioners’ Task Force on 

Intercarrier Compensation. On July 25, 

2006, the WCB released a Public Notice 

requesting that comments on the 

Missoula Plan be filed by September 25, 

2006, and reply comments by November 

9, 2006. 71 FR 45510, August 9, 2006. 

On August 29, 2006, WCB released an 

order granting extensions of the 

comment and reply comment filing 

dates to October 25, 2006 and December 

11, 2006. 71 FR 54008, September 13,

comments on or before October 25, 

2006. On November 17, 2006, NARUC 

filed a motion requesting a further 

extension of the reply comment date to 

January 11, 2007, which was granted. 71

Regulatory Commission, the Maine 

Public Utilities Commission, the 

Montana Public Service Commission, 

the Nebraska Public Service 

Commission, the Vermont Department 

of Public Service, the Vermont Public 

Service Board, and the Wyoming Public 

Service Commission (the ‘‘Early 

Adopter Regulatory Commissions’’) 

filed a Motion for Extension of Time 

requesting an additional extension for 

all reply comments to February 1, 2007. 

The WCB determined that providing 

additional time to file reply comments 

will facilitate the development of a more 

accurate and complete record in this 

proceeding. Although it is the policy of 

the Commission that extensions of time 

shall not be routinely granted, the WCB 

determined that given the extensive 

nature of the record and the potential 

effects of the Missoula Plan, good cause 

exists to provide parties an additional 

extension of time, from January 11, 2007 

to February 1, 2007, for filing reply 

comments in this proceeding. 

Accordingly, it is ordered that, 

pursuant to §§ 4(i), 4(j), and 5(c) of the 

Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 

154(j), 155(c), and §§ 0.91, 0.291, and 

1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

0.91, 0.291, 1.46, the pleading cycle 

established in this matter shall be 

modified as follows: 

Reply Comments Due: February 1, 

2007. 

All other filing procedures remain 

unchanged from those previously 

established in this proceeding. 

It is further ordered that the Motion of 

the Early Adopter Regulatory 

Commissions for Extension of Time is 

granted, as set forth herein.

use of incentives to encourage and 

reward contractor CPI initiatives aimed 

toward exceeding key objectives or 

performance parameters on DON major 

defense contracts. Comments are

issues discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice. See,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Companies that have implemented 

CPI methods and tools have 

significantly reduced waste and nonvalue added activities, improved cycle 

time, produced repeatable processes, 

reduced variation, and improved 

customer satisfaction. 

This process has led to improved 

products and services at a reduced cost. 

The Navy and Marine Corps, as 

customers of goods and services, should 

receive a fair share of the reduced costs. 

A contract clause should benefit 

companies that are aggressive in 

implementing CPI tools and methods 

with quantifiable improved output. The 

purpose of this ANPR is to solicit 

comments and suggestions on contract 

requirements aimed at motivating and
