## Abstract

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) denies four petitions for reconsideration or clarification of the Commission's Order forbearing from imposing service provider local number portability (LNP) requirements on commercial mobile radio service providers (CMRS providers) until November 24, 2002. The Commission finds that, in its forbearance decision, it adequately considered issues related to number conservation, competition in the wireless industry, and the Telecommunications Resellers Association's alternate LNP proposal. The Commission also finds that its forbearance analysis was consistent with the statutory standard. By this document, the Commission declines to extend or shorten the November 24, 2002 deadline for CMRS providers to support service provider LNP in the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).
