I. SUMMARY

By this order, the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) denies the Rehearing Application of Allied Personal Communications Industry Association of California ("Applicant") of Decision (D.) 01-04-029. D.01-04-029 addressed the issue of cost recovery as applied to all carriers, including those not participating in number portability, for number pooling trials ordered by the Commission pursuant to the Commission's authority over number conservation, as delegated by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). In its rehearing application, Applicant failed to establish that the cost allocation method adopted in D.01-04-029 violated the competitive neutrality requirements set forth in the Telecommunications Act Section 251(e)(2).
