Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR Section 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: On August 31, 2007, the FCC released a Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order (" Order "), Sunset of the BOC Separate Affiliate and Related Requirements and 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review Separate Affiliate Requirements, WC Docket No. 02-112; CC Docket No. 00-175, FCC 07-159, Pursuant to this Order, respondents are no longer required to comply with 47 U.S.C. Section 272 structural safeguards. As such, the respondents must now file certifications with the Commission prior to providing contract tariff services to itself or to any affiliate that is neither a section 272 nor a rule 64.1903 separate affiliate for use in the provision of any in-region, long distance services that it provides service pursuant to that contract tariff to an unaffiliated customer. The certification requirement will ensure, as a result of the relief granted in this Order , equivalent protection in the event the BOCs provide in-region, long distance services directly and will be less burdensome and less costly for these providers.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
