FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[DA 03-3390]


Tariff Notice Requirements for Non-Dominant Carriers

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; termination of proceeding.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document provides notice of the termination of a 
proceeding seeking review of a 1993 Common Carrier Bureau order denying 
petitions to reject non-dominant carrier tariff filings on one-day's 
notice. The Commission's decision permissively to detariff the 
telecommunications services of competitive local exchange carriers 
moots the issues in the proceeding.

DATES: This proceeding will be terminated effective December 5, 2003, 
unless the Wireline Competition Bureau receives an opposition to the 
termination prior to that date.

ADDRESSES: Oppositions to the proceeding termination should be mailed 
to the Commission's Secretary through the Commission's contractor, 
Natek, Inc., at 236 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Suite 110, Washington, 
DC 20002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer McKee, Wireline Competition 
Bureau, Pricing Policy Division, (202) 418-1530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 7, 2003, SBC filed a request to 
withdraw an application for review filed by its predecessor, 
Southwestern Bell, of the Common Carrier Bureau's (now the Wireline 
Competition Bureau) order denying petitions to reject non-dominant 
carriers' tariff filings made on one-day's notice. Based on its request 
to withdraw, SBC's application for review is dismissed without 
prejudice. 47 CFR 1.748. Verizon previously withdrew its application 
for review of this order, therefore it appears that there are no 
pending applications for review or petitions for reconsideration of the 
Bureau's order. The Commission's subsequent decision permissively to 
detariff the telecommunications services of competitive local exchange 
carriers moots the issues in this proceeding. Therefore, the proceeding 
will be terminated effective December 5, 2003, unless the Wireline 
Competition Bureau receives an opposition to the termination before 
that date.
    Parties filing oppositions to the termination of this proceeding 
must file an original and four copies of each filing. The filings 
should reference the DA number of this Public Notice, DA 03-3390.

receive hand-delivered or messenger-delivered paper filings for the 
Commission's Secretary at 236 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Suite 110, 
Washington, DC 20002.
