Abstract
In this Report and Order, the Commission adopts procedural rules to govern petitions for forbearance filed pursuant to section 10 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The Commission has found that procedural rules are needed to specify parties' rights and obligations with regard to such petitions. The Commission's actions are designed to ensure that its procedures for handling forbearance petitions are front-loaded, actively managed, transparent, and fair.
