FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[CC Docket No. 94-129; DA 04-962]


Declaratory Ruling by WorldCom, Inc.; Petition for Comments

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This document seeks comment on a Petition filed on March 12, 
2004, by WorldCom, Inc. (WorldCom). WorldCom filed a Petition with the 
Commission requesting that the

[[Page 23759]]

Commission preempt a West Virginia carrier change verification 
requirement. Specifically, WorldCom states that West Virginia Rule 15 
CSR 6, 2.8(b) provides that only a ``customer of record'' may verify 
intrastate carrier changes. WorldCom contends that this rule conflicts 
with Commission rule 47 CFR 64.1120(a)(1)(c) regarding verifications of 
carrier changes.

DATES: Comments are due on or before June 14, 2004, and reply comments 
are due on or before June 29, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Calvin Osborne, Policy Division, 
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau, (202) 418-2512.
