II. Discussion

Applicant filed its application on February 13, 2002, requesting authority to provide facilities-based local exchange and interexchange telecommunications services. By D.02-09-012, Applicant was granted limited facilities-based and resale authority. The application remained open to address the review of its proposed construction under CEQA. Applicant has since decided not to construct facilities except to the extent authorized in D.02-09-012. On April 1, 2003, Applicant filed a motion asking to withdraw its request for approval of construction, except to the extent authorized in D.02-09-012, and requesting that this proceeding be closed. Applicant represents that it will file an application for additional authority if it decides to construct facilities beyond those covered by its existing authority.

Applicant has no current plans to construct facilities, except to the extent authorized in D.02-09-012, and understands the requirement to file an application for approval of construction not covered by its current authority. Therefore, we will grant its motion.
