Petition for Declaratory Ruling and Request for Expedited Action on 1997 Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Order Regarding Area Codes

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission was ordered to provide area code relief in the 215, 610, and 717 area codes after a declaratory ruling declared its July 15, 1997 order unlawfully exceeded state jurisdiction over telecommunications numbering administration and discriminated against petitioners. The ruling also delegated additional authority to state commissions to order NXX code rationing under certain conditions.
