FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[DA 03-3391]


NYNEX Waiver of Access Charges

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; termination of proceeding.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides notice of the termination of a 
proceeding seeking reconsideration of a 1995 Commission order granting 
NYNEX a waiver of certain parts of the access charge rules. NYNEX (now 
Verizon) no longer charges the specific access charges at issue in this 
proceeding, therefore the substantive issues in this proceeding are 
moot.

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 May 4, 1995, the Commission released an 
order in the above-referenced proceeding granting NYNEX a waiver to 
deaverage the transport interconnection charge (TIC) and recover the 
carrier common line (CCL) charge on a per-line, rather than a per-
minute, basis. AT&T and Teleport filed petitions for reconsideration of 
this order on June 5, 1995. On October 16, 2003, AT&T filed a request 
to withdraw both its reconsideration petition and that of Teleport, 
which is now owned by AT&T. Based on its request to withdraw, AT&T's 
reconsideration petitions are dismissed without prejudice. 47 CFR 
1.748. It appears that there are no pending petitions for 
reconsideration or applications for review in this proceeding. At this 
time, Verizon (formerly NYNEX) no longer charges the TIC or the CCL 
charge at issue in the proceeding, thus the substantive issues in this 
proceeding are moot. Therefore, the proceeding will be terminated 
effective December 5, 2003, unless the Wireline Competition Bureau 
receives an opposition to the termination before that date.
