 By  Public  Notice  dated  September  17,  2001,  we  initiated  a  cost  review  proceeding  to  determine 
 the  appropriate  residential  and  single-  line  business  subscriber  line  charge  (SLC)  caps  for  price  cap  local 
 exchange  carriers  (LECs).  On  October  3,  2001,  several  price  cap  LECs  filed  a  petition  requesting  an 
 extension  of  30  days  for  the  filing  of  their  cost  submissions.  The  price  cap  LECs  request  additional  time 
 due  to  the  size  and  complexity  of  the  task  of  compiling  cost  submission  information.  We  agree  that  a 
 limited  extension  is  warranted.  Price  cap  LECs  must  now  file  their  cost  submissions  no  later  than 
 November  16,  2001.  We  also  extend  the  dates  for  filing  comments  and  reply  comments  on  the  cost  submissions.  Comments  will  be  due  no  later  than  December  17,  2001,  and  reply  comments  are  due  no 


 later  than  January  9,  2002.  When  filing  cost  information  and  comments,  parties  should  reference  CC 
 Docket  Nos.  96-  262  and  94-  1. 


 This  proceeding  shall  be  treated  as  a  “permit-  but-  disclose”  proceeding  in  accordance  with  the 
 Commission’s  ex  parte  rules.  See  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  1.1200  and  1.1206.  Persons  making  oral  ex  parte 
 presentations  are  reminded  that  memoranda  summarizing  the  presentations  must  contain  summaries  of  the 
 substance  of  the  presentations  and  not  merely  a  listing  of  the  subjects  discussed.  More  than  a  one  or  two 
 sentence  description  of  the  views  and  arguments  presented  is  generally  required.  See  47  C.  F.  R.  § 
 1.1206(  b).  Other  rules  pertaining  to  oral  and  written  ex  parte  presentations  in  permit-  but-  disclose 
 proceedings  are  set  forth  in  section  1.1206(  b)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.1206(  b). 


 An  original  and  four  copies  of  all  cost  submissions,  comments  and  reply  comments  must  be  filed
