SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July

23, 1997, Siemens Business

Communication Systems, Inc. (Siemens)

filed a petition requesting that the

Commission reconsider certain of its

rules issued in Rules and Policies

Regarding Calling Number

Identification Service—Caller ID, Third

Report and Order, Memorandum

Opinion and Order on Further

Reconsideration, and Memorandum

Opinion and Order on Reconsideration,

CC Docket No. 91–281, FCC 97–103 (62

FR 34015 June 24, 1997). Specifically,

Siemens states that: the Commission’s

rules are unenforceable against private

branch exchange (PBX) owners/

operators because the language of the

adopted regulations applies only to

carriers; actual notice of the

Commission’s rules has not been

provided to PBX owners/operators and

will result in widespread noncompliance; manufacturers have only

eight months, as opposed to the needed

twenty-four months, to incorporate the

required upgrades; the Commission

failed to conduct a cost-benefit analysis

before requiring upgrades of currently

installed PBX systems; and that PBX

systems should enjoy the same

exemptions as granted to Centrex

systems that currently use * 6 or * 8 for

dialing functions other than calling

party number (CPN) blocking or

unblocking. Siemens recommends that

the Commission take the following

action: suspend the March 25, 1998

compliance deadline; grandfather all inplace PBX equipment; allow PBX

manufacturers at least two years or until

January 1, 2000 to incorporate CPN

blocking and unblocking signaling in

new PBX equipment; allow PBX

systems the same dialing exemptions

allowed Centrex systems; and clarify

which PBX signaling methods are

acceptable for passing CPN blocking and

unblocking information.

On July 24, 1997, US West

Communications, Inc. (USW) Ohio filed

a petition requesting that the

Commission reconsider certain of its

rules established in Rules and Policies

Regarding Calling Number

Identification Service—Caller ID, Third

Report and Order, Memorandum

Opinion and Order on Further

Reconsideration, and Memorandum

Opinion and Order on Reconsideration,

CC Docket No. 91–281, FCC 97–103 (62

FR 34015 June 24, 1997). USW states

that Nortel DMS–100 switches are not

capable of providing * 82 blocking

mechanisms and, thus, requests a

reconsideration of blocking code

requirements with respect to party lines.

Alternatively, USW requests a waiver

with respect to customers served by

Nortel DMS–100 switches.

Comments for both petitions may be

filed on or before October 29, 1997.

Reply comments may be filed by

November 10, 1997.
