Abstract
The Order released December 18, 1996 dismisses the motion for stay of three rules adopted in the First Report and Order, (August 29, 1996), filed by the Rural Telephone Coalition (RTC) to the extent that RTC seeks a stay of 47 CFR 51.809, and otherwise denies the motion for stay. Denial of the motion for stay allows the rules relating to local competition which have not been stayed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (Iowa Utilities Board v. Federal Communications Commission, No. 96-3321 et al., 1996 WL 589284 (8th Cir. 1996 Oct. 15, 1996)) to go into effect without delay.
