   deadline in 47 U.S.C. 208(b)(1) must comply with the pre-complaint
   procedures below. The Enforcement Bureau's Market Disputes Resolution
   Division will not process complaints subject to the 5-month deadline

   with both parties as soon as practicable. During that conference, the
   staff may discuss, among other things:

   (1) Scheduling in the case;

   (2) Narrowing factual and legal issues in dispute;

   dispute;

   (4) Entry of a protective order governing confidential material; and

   (5) Preparation for and scheduling a mandatory settlement negotiation
   session at the Commission.

   expeditiously as possible. Staff may direct the parties to exchange
   relevant information during the pre-complaint period.
