In this document, the Commission, on its own motion, reconsiders a petition for declaratory ruling (Petition) filed by Telco Group, Inc. (Telco Group) requesting that the Commission either exclude international revenues from the end-user revenue base used to calculate payments due to the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fund (Fund), or in the alternative, waive the portion of Telco Group's contribution based on its international end-user revenues. This action is necessary because the May 2006 Declaratory Ruling addressing Telco Group's Petition did not contain an analysis of the complete record.
