ORDER 
Adopted: August 12, 1996 Released: August 20, 1996 
By the Commission: 
1. In the Interexchange Proceeding, 1 the Commission adopted certain 800 and 
inbound service bundling restrictions, including a "fresh look" requirement permitting AT&T 
Corp. (AT&T) customers with Tariff 12 packages that included inbound service to terminate 
seivice without termination liability within 90 days of the time 800 numbers became 
portable. AT&T filed a petition for a declaratory ruling, asking us to extend the 800 and 
inbound service bundling restrictions adopted in the Interexchange Proceeding, including the 
fresh look requirement, to all interexchange carriers. In the Interexchange Order, 2 we found

extend to other interexchange carriers and denied AT&T's petition. 
2. In May 1993, AT&T filed a petition for judicial review of the Interexchange 
Order insofar as it affirmed the Commission's fresh look policy. Because the fresh look 
period expired in July 1993, and was not extended by the Commission,3 AT&T subsequently 
filed a motion asking the court to dismiss its petition for review and to vacate the
