Order Declares Wypoint Telecom, Inc.'s International Section 214 Authorization Terminated
In this document, we declare the international section 214 authorization granted to Wypoint Telecom, Inc. (``Wypoint'' and formerly known as Sage VOIP Solutions, Inc.) terminated given Wypoint's inability to comply with an express condition for holding the authorization. We also conclude that Wypoint failed to comply with those requirements of the Communications Act of 1934 (the Act) and the Commission's rules that ensure that the Commission can contact and communicate with the authorization holder, which failures have prevented any way of addressing Wypoint's inability to comply with the condition of its authorization.

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

FY 2015 Annual Compliance Report
The Postal Service has filed an Annual Compliance Report on the costs, revenues, rates, and quality of service associated with its products in fiscal year 2015. Within 90 days, the Commission must evaluate that information and issue its determination as to whether rates were in compliance with title 39, chapter 36, and whether service standards in effect were met.

Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is adopting regulations to implement a particular provision of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA''), as added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act''). This provision requires the Commission to adopt initial and variation margin requirements for certain swap dealers (``SDs'') and major swap participants (``MSPs''). The final rules would establish initial and variation margin requirements for SDs and MSPs but would not require SDs and MSPs to collect margin from non-financial end users. The Commission is also adopting and inviting comment on an interim final rule that will exempt certain uncleared swaps with certain counterparties from these margin requirements. This interim final rule implements Title III of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (``TRIPRA''), which exempts from the margin rules for uncleared swaps certain swaps for which a counterparty qualifies for an exemption or exception from clearing under the Dodd- Frank Act.
