# AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

Notice; solicitation of comments.

In this document, the Wireline Competition Bureau seeks comment on a petition filed by Puerto Rico Telephone Company, Inc. (PRTC) requesting that the Commission reconsider its decision declining to establish a new universal service high-cost support mechanism for non-rural insular carriers. PRTC says the Commission should expeditiously reconsider its decision and adopt an insular mechanism that will provide explicit universal service loop support to address its elevated costs to deploy wireline infrastructure.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In a public notice in this proceeding released on May 21, 2010, the Wireline Competition Bureau invites interested parties to comment on a petition filed by Puerto Rico Telephone Company, Inc. (PRTC) requesting that the Commission reconsider its decision declining to establish a new universal service high-cost support mechanism for non-rural insular carriers. In an order in WC Docket No. 05-337, CC Docket No. 96-45, and WC Docket No. 03-109 (75 FR 25113, May 7, 2010), the Commission concluded that dramatic increases in telephone subscribership in Puerto Rico over the last several years made it unnecessary to adopt a new high-cost support mechanism for non-rural insular carriers as proposed by PRTC.

                    Pursuant to §§ 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.415, 1.419, interested parties may file comments and reply comments on or                           ( print page 30025)                        before the dates indicated on the first page of this document.
