On February 14, 2005, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau released an Order, DA 05- 420, in the above- captioned proceeding. 1 This Erratum corrects the following omissions in the Order. 2. Paragraph 1 is corrected to read as follows: “1. In this order, we deny a petition filed by ACS Wireless, Inc. (“ ACS”) 1 requesting that the Commission forbear from enforcing the Phase II Enhanced 911 (E911) accuracy and reliability requirements contained in section 20.18( h) of the Commission’s Rules. 2 We find, as an initial matter, that ACS failed to comply with the Commission’s pleading requirements in filing its forbearance request and deny its request on that ground. Additionally, we conclude that forbearance from enforcement of Section 20.18( h) is inconsistent with the second and third prongs of the section 10 forbearance test. 3 1 See ACS Wireless Petition for Limited Waiver and Forbearance, CC Docket No. 94- 102 (filed Nov. 14, 2003) (Forbearance Petition). The Commission must act on petitions for forbearance within one year, but it may extend this deadline by 90 days if it finds that an extension is necessary to meet the three criteria for forbearance listed in section 10( a). 47 U. S. C. § 160( c). The Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure Division, acting on delegated authority, extended the initial one year- period for review by 90 days to February 14, 2005.
