   Commission  shall not authorize the creation of a new area code within      
   an existing area code in Cook County or any of the the collar counties      
   unless at least 75% of the  potentially  available  telephone  numbers      
   within  the  existing  area  code  are  being  used  by  consumers  of      
   telecommunications services.  Effective immediately.
