IT IS RULED that:

1. The issue of collocation terms and conditions immediately necessary for Pacific and GTEC to meet the minimum requirements of the FCC's Advanced Services First Report and Order are transferred from the Local Competition proceeding, R.95-04-043/I.95-04-044, to the Collocation Phase of this OANAD proceeding, R.93-04-003/I.93-04-002, in order for the Commission to address and adopt final costs, prices, terms, and conditions of collocation for Pacific and GTEC in a single forum.

2. The hearing record is reopened to permit parties to address the new minimum requirements contained in the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Advanced Services First Report and Order. All parties should use the Collocation Cost Model to develop cost-based recommended prices for physical, common, shared, virtual, cageless, adjacent on-site, and adjacent off-site collocation at each central office of Pacific and GTEC. Parties presenting recommendations for changes in the terms and conditions of collocation service should include proposed tariff language.

3. All parties are requested to work in a collaborative manner to develop a procedural process that will allow the Commission to reach a final decision by September 2000. Active parties in our earlier hearing shall meet and confer as soon as possible in order to develop an agenda and supporting discussion material for the January 28, 2000 prehearing conference. Parties shall hand deliver or fax to ALJ Walwyn this material by noon on January 26, 2000.

4. A prehearing conference is set for 10:00 a.m. on January 28, 2000, in the Commission's Courtroom, State Office Building, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California.

5. Parties in the Local Competition proceeding who wish to receive further notice in the Collocation Phase of OANAD must write the Process Office requesting to be added to the service list in the information only category and serve all existing parties with this request; parties in the Local Competition proceeding wishing full party status in the Collocation Phase of OANAD must enter an appearance at the January 28, 2000 PHC.

Dated January 13, 2000, at San Francisco, California.
