I. SUMMARY

In this decision, we grant limited rehearing to modify Decision (D.).06-02-035 (or "the Decision"), which adopted an amendment to the existing interconnection agreements ("ICAs") that various competitive local exchange carriers ("CLECs") and commercial Mobile Radio Service Providers ("CMRS") have with Verizon California, Inc. ("Verizon"). Changes in federal unbundling obligations of incumbent local exchange carriers ("ILECs") resulted in this change-of-law proceeding. The purpose of this proceeding is for the Commission to resolve those issues on which the parties were unable come to an agreement after their attempts at negotiation.

We modify our ruling regarding the application of the FCC's DS1 cap. We originally held that the DS1 cap applies on all routes. We have carefully reconsidered this issue and have determined that the DS1 cap applies only on routes where DS3 is not available as an unbundled network element ("UNE"). In addition, we correct clerical errors. Rehearing of D.06-02-035, as modified, is denied in all respects.
