CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATIONS
(1) These authorizations are subject to the Exclusion List for International
Section 214 Authorizations, which identifies restrictions on providing service
to particular countries or using particular facilities. The most recent
Exclusion List is attached to this Public Notice. The list applies to all U.S.
international carriers, including those that have previously received global or
limited global Section 214 authority, whether by streamlined grant or specific
written order. Carriers are advised that the attached Exclusion List is subject
to amendment at any time pursuant to the procedures set forth in Streamlining
the International Section 214 Authorization Process and Tariff Requirements, IB
Docket No. 95-118, 11 FCC Rcd 12884 (1996), para. 18. A copy of the current
Exclusion List will be maintained in the FCC Reference and Information Center
and will be available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/td/pf/exclusionlist.html. It also
will be attached to each Public Notice that grants international Section 214
authority.
(2) The export of telecommunications services and related payments to countries
that are subject to economic sanctions may be restricted. For information
concerning current restrictions, call the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S.
Department of the Treasury, (202) 622-2520.
(3) Carriers shall comply with the requirements of Section 63.11 of the
Commission's rules, which requires notification by, and in certain circumstances
prior approval for, U.S. carriers acquiring an affiliation with foreign
carriers. A carrier that acquires an affiliation with a foreign carrier will be
subject to possible reclassification as a dominant carrier on an affiliated
route pursuant to the provisions of Section 63.10 of the rules.
(4) Carriers shall comply with the Commission's International Settlements Policy
and associated filing requirements contained in Sections 43.51 and 64.1001 of
the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. ss.ss. 43.51, 64.1001. The Commission modified
these requirements mosT recently in 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review - Reform of
the International Settlements Policy and Associated Filing Requirements, IB
Docket Nos. 98-148, 95-22, CC Docket No. 90-337 (Phase II), FCC 99-73 (rel. May
6, 1999). In addition, any carrier interconnecting private lines to the U.S.
public switched network at its switch, including any switch in which the carrier
obtains capacity either through lease or otherwise, shall file annually with the
Chief, International Bureau, a certified statement containing, on a
country-specific basis, the number and type (e.g., 64 kbps circuits) of private
lines interconnected in such manner. The Commission will treat the country of
origin information as confidential. Carriers need not file their contracts for
interconnection unless the Commission specifically requests. Carriers shall file
their annual report on February 1 (covering international private lines
interconnected during the preceding January 1 to December 31 period) of each
year. International private lines to countries for which the Commission has
authorized the provision of switched basic services over private lines at any
time during a particular reporting period are exempt from this requirement. See
47 C.F.R. ss. 43.51(d).
(5) Carriers authorized to provide private line service either on a facilities
or resale basis are limited to the provision of such private line service only
between the United States and those foreign points covered by their referenced
applications for Section 214 authority. In addition, the carriers may not -- and
their tariffs must state that their customers may not -- connect their private
lines to the public switched network at either the U.S. or foreign end, or both,
for the provision of international switched basic services, unless the
Commission has authorized the provision of switched services over private lines
to the particular country at the foreign end of the private line or the carrier
is exchanging switched traffic with a foreign carrier that the Commission has
determined lacks market power in the country at the foreign end of the private
line. See 47 C.F.R. ss.ss. 63.16, 63.22(e), 63.23(d). A foreign carrier lacks
market power for purposes of this rule if it does not appear on the Commission
list of foreign carriers that do not qualify for the presumption that they lack
market power in particular foreign points. This list is available at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/Public_Notices/1999/da990809.txt. See
generally 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review - Reform of the International
Settlements Policy and Associated Filing Requirements, IB Docket Nos. 98-148,
95-22, CC Docket No. 90-337 (Phase II), FCC 99-73 (rel. May 6, 1999), paras.
12-15, 102-109.
(6) The Commission has authorized the provision of switched basic services via
facilities-based or resold private lines between the United States and the
following foreign points: Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom,
Australia, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany,
Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, Ireland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Spain,
Finland, Israel, Singapore, Netherlands Antilles and Poland.
(7) Carriers may engage in "switched hubbing" to countries for which the
Commission has not authorized the provision of switched basic services over
private lines consistent with Section 63.17(b) of the rules.
(8) Carriers may provide U.S. inbound or outbound switched basic service via
their authorized private lines extending between or among the United States,
Sweden, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Australia, The Netherlands, Luxembourg,
Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy,
Ireland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Spain, Finland, Israel, Singapore, Netherlands
Antilles and Poland, Iceland, Spain, Finland, Israel, Singapore, Netherlands
Antilles and Poland.
(9) Carriers shall comply with the "No Special Concessions" rule, Section 63.14,
47 C.F.R.ss.63.14.
(10) Carriers shall file a tariff pursuant to Section 203 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.ss.203, and Part 61 of the Commission's Rules,
47 C.F.R. Part 61, for their authorized services. See also 47 C.F.R.ss.20.15(d).
Page 8 of 10
(11) Carriers shall file the annual reports of overseas telecommunications
traffic required by Section 43.61(a). Carriers shall also file the quarterly
reports required by Section 43.61 in the circumstances specified in paragraphs
(b) and (c) of that Section.
(12) Carriers shall file annual reports of circuit status and/or circuit
additions in accordance with the requirements set forth in Rules for Filing of
International Circuit Status Reports, CC Docket No. 93-157, Report and Order, 10
FCC Rcd 8605 (1995). See 47 C.F.R. ss.ss. 43.82, 63.23(e). These requirements
apply to facilities-based carriers and private line resellers, respectively.
(13) Carriers should consult Section 63.19 of the rules when contemplating a
discontinuance, reduction or impairment of service. Further, the grant of these
applications shall not be construed to include authorization for the
transmission of money in connection with the services the applicants have been
given authority to provide. The transmission of money is not considered to be a
common carrier service.
(14) If any carrier is reselling service obtained pursuant to a contract with
another carrier, that contract or a contract summary shall be filed publicly by
the underlying carrier in accordance with Section 203 of the Communications Act,
47 U.S.C. ss. 203, and Competition in the Interstate Interexchange Marketplace,
6 FCC Rcd 5880, 5902 (1991). In addition, the services obtained by contract
shall be made generally available by the underlying carrier to similarly
situated customers at the same terms, conditions and rates.
(15) To the extent that any of the above-listed applicants intends to provide
international call-back services through the use of uncompleted call signaling,
its authorization to resell international switched voice and/or data services to
provide these services is expressly subject to the conditions listed in VIA USA
Ltd., et al., 9 FCC Rcd 2288 (1994), on recon., 10 FCC Rcd 9540 (1995).
(16) To the extent the applicant is, or is affiliated with, an incumbent
independent local exchange carrier, as those terms are defined in Section
64.1902 of the rules, it shall provide the authorized services in compliance
with the requirements of Section 64.1903. See Regulatory Treatment of LEC
Provision of Interexchange Services Originating in the LEC's Local Exchange Area
and Policy and Rules Concerning the Interstate, Interexchange Marketplace,
Second Report and Order in CC Docket No. 96-149 and Third Report and Order in CC
Docket No. 96-61, 12 FCC Rcd 15756, recon., 12 FCC Rcd 8730 (1997), Order, 13
FCC Rcd 6427 (Com. Car. Bur. 1998), further recon., FCC 99-103 (rel. June 30,
1999).
(17) Except as otherwise ordered by the Commission, a carrier authorized here to
provide facilities-based service that (i) is classified as dominant under
Section 63.10 of the rules for the provision of such service on a particular
route and (ii) is affiliated with a carrier that collects settlement payments
for terminating U.S. international switched traffic at the foreign end of that
route may not provide facilities-based service on that route unless the current
rates the affiliate charges U.S. international carrier to terminate traffic are
at or below the Commission's relevant benchmark adopted in International
