Further, Commission staff notified parties that the revised date for parties’ interrogatories would be established following the filing of the ILECs’ responses to Commission interrogatories due 17 March 2010.

Accordingly, the process and deadlines set out in the Commission staff’s 15 January 2010 letter are revised as follows:
