or regulation, or other state or local legal 

requirement (to the extent necessary) 

that prohibits or has intrastate 

telecommunications service. The 

Commission’s consideration of 

preemption begins with the filing of a 

petition by an aggrieved party. The 

petition is placed on public notice and 

comment on by others. The 

Commission’s decision is based on 

public record, generally composed of 

the petition and comments. The 

Commission has considered a number of 

preemption items since the passage of 

the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

and believes it in the public interest to 

inform the public of the information 

necessary to support its full 

consideration of the issues likely to be 

involved in preemption actions. In order 

to render a timely and informed 

decision, the Commission expects 

petitioners and commenters to provide 

it with relevant information sufficient to 

describe the legal regime involved in the 

controversy and to establish the factual 

basis necessary for decision.
