§  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 U.S. Bank, St. Louis, Missouri, at the
   address set forth in § 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 U.S. 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 § 61.38
   or § 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 § 61.38 or § 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 § 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).
