MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: 

Open to the Public 

any interstate or intrastate 

telecommunications service. The 

Commission’s consideration of 

preemption under section 253 typically 

begins with the filing of a petition by an 

aggrieved party. The Commission 

typically places such petitions on public 

notice and requests comment by 

interested parties. The Commission’s 

decision is based on the 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 is in the public interest to 

inform the public of the information 

necessary for full consideration of the 

issues likely to be involved in section 

253 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 provide the factual information 

necessary for a decision.
