The Commission permits price cap
LECs to introduce new services on a
streamlined basis, without prior
approval. In August 1999, the
Commission modified the rules to
eliminate the public interest showing
required by 47 CFR 69.4(g) and to
eliminate the new services test
requirement (except in the case of loopbased new services) required under 47
CFR 69.49(f) and (g). These
modifications eliminate delays that
existed for the introduction of new
services as well as encourage efficient
investment and innovation.
Section 61.49 also requires supporting
information to be submitted with letters
of transmittal for tariffs of carriers
subject to price cap regulation. The
other rule sections that were adopted in
the Fifth Report and Order, FCC 99–206,
that are subject to OMB review and
approval are the following:
Section 1.774, Pricing Flexibility,
describes what a petitioner for pricing
flexibility must provide for specific
services pursuant to part 69, Subpart H,
with respect to a metropolitan statistical
area (MSA), as defined in section
22.909(a), or the non-MSA parts of a
study area, must show that the price cap
LEC has met the relevant thresholds set
forth in part 69, subpart H.
Section 61.55, Contract-based tariffs
shall include the terms of contract,
including any renewal options; a brief
description of each of the services
provided under the contract; minimum
volume commitments for each service;
the contract price for each service or
services at the volume levels committed
to by the customers; a general
description of any volume discounts
built into the contract rate structure; and
a general description of other
classifications, practices, and
regulations affecting the contract rate.
Section 61.58, Notice requirements
establish various time requirements for
filing tariffs or amendments.
Section 69.707, for MSAs a price cap
LEC filing a petition for pricing
flexibility in a MSA shall include data
sufficient to support its petition, as set
forth in Subpart H, Pricing Flexibility,
disaggregated by MSA. A price cap LEC
may request pricing flexibility for two or
more MSAs in a single petition,
provided that it submits supporting data
disaggregated by MSA.
Section 69.713(b)(1), Phase 1 Triggers,
to obtain Phase 1 pricing flexibility, as
specified in 47 CFR 69.727(a), for the
services identified in paragraph (a) of
this section, a price cap LEC must
provide convincing evidence that, in the
relevant areas as described in 47 CFR
69.707, its unaffiliated competitors, in
aggregate, offer service to at least 15

percent of the price cap LEC’s customer
locations. For purposed of the showing
required by paragraph (b)(1) of this
section, the price cap LEC may not rely
on service the competitors provide
solely by reselling the price cap LEC’s
services, or provide through unbundled
network elements as defined by 47 CFR
51.5, except the price cap LEC may rely
on service the competitors provide
through the use of the price cap LEC’s
unbundled loops.
Section 69.727 requires except for
new services subject to paragraph (b) of
this rule section, a price cap LEC may
obtain pricing flexibility for a new
service that has not been incorporated
into a price cap basket by demonstrating
in its pricing flexibility petition that the
new service would be properly
incorporated into one of the price cap
baskets and service bands for which the
price cap LEC seeks pricing flexibility.
The information collected will be
submitted to the Commission by an
incumbent LEC for use in determining
whether the rates proposed by an
incumbent LEC offering a new loopbased switched access service are
reasonable.

Budget (OMB) approval for an extension
of this information collection (no
change in the reporting requirements).
The Commission will submit this
information collection after this 60 day
comment period. The Commission has
adjusted the total burden hours from
151 to 155 because the hours per
response for section 90.20(a)(2)(v) is
now estimated at 15 minutes per
response. Previously the estimate was
three minutes.
Section 90.20(a)(2)(v) provides that
persons claiming eligibility in the
Special Emergency Radio Service on the
basis of being physically handicapped
must present a physician’s statement
indicating that they are handicapped.
Submission of this information is
necessary to ensure that frequencies
reserved for licensing to handicapped
individuals are not licensed to nonhandicapped persons.
Section 90.20(a)(2)(xi) is necessary to
determine if communications common
carrier applicants requesting frequencies
for use as standby facilities for
communications related to safety of life
and public property is necessary for
such purposes.
Specifically, Section 90.20(a)(2)(xi)
states: ‘‘A communications common
carrier operating communications
circuits that normally carry essential
communication of such nature that their
disruption would endanger life or
public property is eligible to hold
authorizations for standby radio
facilities for the transmission of
messages only during periods when the
normal circuits are inoperative due to
circumstances beyond the control of the
user. During such periods the radio
facilities may be used to transmit any
communication which would be carried
by the regular circuit. Initial
applications for authorization to operate
a standby radio facility must include a
statement describing radio
communications facilities desired, the
proposed method of operation, a
description of the messages normally
being carried, and an explanation of
how their disruption will endanger life
or public property.’’
