Total Annual Burden: 30 hours.

Total Annual Cost: $0.

Needs and Uses: These provisions

supplement the procedures for filing

petitions seeking Commission

preemption of state and local

government regulation of

telecommunications services. They

require that such petitions, whether in

the form of a petition for rulemaking or

a petition for declaratory ruling, be

served on all state and local

governments (the actions for which are

cited as a basis for requesting

preemption.) Thus, in accordance with

these provisions, persons seeking

preemption must serve their petitions

not only on the state or local

government whose authority would be

preempted, but also on other state or

local governments whose actions are

cited in the petition.
