Because this is currently an informal rulemaking process, the Commission has not yet requested authorization from the Office of Regulatory Reform (“ORR”) to begin the formal process to promulgate these rules. However the Commission is soliciting comments from interested parties. The informal rules are available for viewing on the Commission’s website under the Telecommunications Division / Numbering and 911 at http://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/0,1607,7-159-16372-216254--,00.html. 

The Commission has asked that comments be sent to Karen G. Norcross, Sr. Numbering Resources Specialist, Operations and Tariffs Section, Telecommunications Division, Michigan Public Service Commission via e-mail at norcrossk@michigan.gov no later than August 20, 2009.

The Commission has requested that reply comments be submitted no later than September 10, 2009.  Clark Hill PLC is available to assist interested parties with the drafting and filing of such comments.
