Abstract
The Report and Order released March 10, 1999 streamlines the Commission's Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) and network information disclosure rules. The Report and Order frees the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) from the requirement that they obtain pre- approval of their CEI plans and plan amendments from the Commission before initiating or altering an intraLATA information service. This change to the CEI rules will result in new information services being available to the public sooner. The Report and Order clarifies the network information disclosure rules, and relieves the interexchange carriers (IXCs) and competitive local exchange carriers (Competitive LECs) from these reporting requirements. As a result, these carriers will no longer perform a task the Commission has found to be unnecessary.
