OPINION GRANTING PETITION
FOR MODIFICATION OF DECISION 00-10-032

1. Summary

Decision (D.) 00-10-032 required filing a conforming interconnection agreement (ICA) following arbitration. The parties subsequently filed by advice letter a negotiated ICA that varied from the arbitrated agreement. We grant the joint petition for modification of D.00-10-032, relieving the parties from the requirement to file a conforming interconnection agreement, and a statement that cross-references issues with relevant portions of the agreement.
