In an OMB-approved Public Notice, DA 97-2540, the Commission set
forth procedures for filing petitions for preemption pursuant to
section 252(e)(5). Section 252(e)(5) provides that ``if a state
commission fails to act to carry out its responsibility under this
section in any proceeding or other matter under this section, then the
Commission shall issue an order preempting the state commission's
jurisdiction of the proceeding or matter within 90 days after being
notified (or taking notice) of such failure, and shall assume the
responsibility of the state commission under this section with respect
to the proceeding or matter and act for the state commission.''
All of the requirements are used to ensure that petitioners have
complied with their obligations under the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended.
