In the alternative, Ameritech requests that the Commission immediately grant its January 23, 1997 Petition for Partial Reconsideration of the Commission's First Memorandum Opinion and Order in ET Docket No. 93-62, Mimeo No. FCC 96­ 487, (December 24, 1996).

The original compliance deadline for the new RF radiation rules (adopted by the Commission's July 31, 1996 Report and Order in this proceeding) was January 1, 1997. In its September 6, 1996 Petition for Reconsideration and Clarification, Ameritech requested inter alia that the Commission extend the compliance deadline (originally scheduled for January 1, 1997) to fall due one year after the release of the updated OET Bulletin No. 65. This measure is necessary because the Commission's new RF radiation rules contain a number of ambiguities and complex issues, and the industry will need the guidance to be provided by the updated Bulletin No.
