Sec.  61.32   Method of filing publications.

   (a) Publications sent for filing must be addressed to “Secretary, Federal
   Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.” The date on which the
   publication is received by the Secretary of the Commission (or the Mail Room
   where submitted by mail) is considered the official filing date.

   (b)  In  addition,  except  for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees
   electronically, for all tariff publications requiring fees as set forth in
   part 1, subpart G of this chapter, issuing carriers must submit the original
   of the transmittal letter (without attachments), FCC Form 159, and the
   appropriate fee to the Mellon Bank, Pittsburgh, PA, at the address set forth
   in  Sec. 1.1105 of this chapter. Issuing carriers submitting tariffing fees
   electronically should submit the Form 159 and the original cover letter to
   the Secretary of the Commission in lieu of the Mellon Bank. The Form 159
   should display the Electronic Audit Code in the box in the upper left hand
   corner marked “reserved.” Issuing carriers should submit these fee materials
   on the same date as the submission in paragraph (a) of this section.

   (c) In addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
   this section, the issuing carrier must send a copy of the transmittal letter
   with two copies of the proposed tariff pages and all attachments, including
   the supporting information specified in  Sec. 61.38 or  Sec. 61.49, as appropriate, to
   the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission. In addition, the issuing
   carrier  must  send  a copy of the publication, supporting information
   specified in  Sec. 61.38 or  Sec. 61.49, as appropriate, and transmittal letter to the
   commercial contractor (at its office on Commission premises), and to the
   Chief, Pricing Policy Division. The latter should be clearly labeled as the
   “Public Reference Copy.” The copies of supporting information required here
   are in addition to those required by  Sec. 61.38(c). The issuing carrier must
   file the copies required by this paragraph so they will be received on the
   same date as the filings in paragraph (a).
