OPINION

I. Summary

On April 27, 2001, Pacific Bell (Pacific) filed a Petition to Modify Decision (D.) 00-07-052, which establishes number conservation rules for California telecommunications carriers. Pacific argues that the Commission should modify the decision to reflect the rules subsequently adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding months-to-exhaust reports, utilization thresholds, and sequential numbering assignment. By this decision, we grant Pacific's request to conform our sequential numbering rules with those of the FCC. We previously approved a change in the months to exhaust standard, making Pacific's request on that issue moot. In all other respects the Petition is denied.
