NARUC recommended FCC not streamline its service quality reports. In comments filed Fri., NARUC said Commission’s current reports had shown “long-term negative trend in service quality.” Cutting back on information collection now would reduce ability of state and federal regulators to monitor such problems, group said. “In the absence of some compelling ILEC evidentiary showing that the reports are somehow unnecessary, it appears the proposal to reduce reporting requirements is premature,” NARUC said. FCC proposed reducing data collected from large ILECs as part of its biennial review process (CC Doc. 00-229).
