 By  the  Chief,  Enforcement  Bureau: 
 1.  In  this  Order,  we  cancel  a  Notice  of  Apparent  Liability  for  Forfeiture  (“  NAL”)  1  that  the  Enforcement  Bureau  issued  to  ATX  Telecommunications  Services,  Ltd.  (“  ATX”)  for  apparent  willful 
 violation  of  47  C.  F.  R.  §  52.15(  f),  which  requires  certain  carriers  to  report  number  utilization  and  forecast  data.  We  issued  the  NAL  because  it  appeared  that  ATX  had  failed  to  report  on  its  actual  and  forecast 
 number  usage  by  filing  FCC  Form  502,  the  North  American  Numbering  Plan  Numbering  Resource  Utilization/  Forecast  (“  NRUF”)  Report  that  was  due  on  September  15,  2000.  2 


 2.  ATX  responded  to  the  NAL  and  states  that  it  filed  the  September  15,  2000  NRUF  report.  After  considering  ATX’s  response  and  reviewing  the  record,  we  find  that  we  should  cancel  the  proposed 
 monetary  forfeiture.  3 
 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED  THAT,  pursuant  to  47  U.  S.  C.  §  504(  b)  and  47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.80(  f)(  4),  the  NAL  issued  to  ATX  Telecommunications  Services,  Ltd.  IS  HEREBY  CANCELLED.

 52.15(  f)(  6).  However,  we  note  that  the  deadline  for  filing  reports  due  August  1,  2000  was  extended  to  September  15,  2000.  Numbering  Resource  Optimization,  CC  Docket  No.  99-  200,  15  FCC  Rcd  17005  (2000).
