§ 61.17 Applications for special permission.
(a) All issuing carriers that file applications for special permission,
associated documents, such as transmittal letters, requests for special
permission, and supporting information, shall file those documents
electronically.
(b) Applications for special permission must contain:
(1) A detailed description of the tariff publication proposed to be put into
effect;
(2) A statement citing the specific rules and the grounds on which waiver is
sought;
(3) A showing of good cause; and
(4) The appropriate Illustrative tariff pages the issuing carrier wishes to
either revise or add as new pages to its tariff.
(c) An application for special permission must be addressed to “Secretary,
Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.” The Electronic
Tariff Filing System will accept filings 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The official filing date of a publication received by the Electronic Tariff
Filing System will be determined by the date and time the transmission ends.
If the transmission ends after the close of a business day, as that term is
defined in § 1.4(e)(2) of this chapter, the filing will be date and time
stamped as of the opening of the next business day.
(d) In addition, except for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees
electronically, for special permission applications requiring fees as set
forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, issuing carriers must submit the
original of the application letter (without attachments), FCC Form 159, and
the appropriate fee to the address set forth in § 1.1105 of this chapter.
(e) In addition, if an issuing carrier applies for special permission to
revise joint tariffs, the application must state that it is filed on behalf
of all carriers participating in the affected service. Applications must be
numbered consecutively in a series separate from FCC tariff numbers and
Letters of Transmittal, bear the signature of the officer or agent of the
carrier, and be in the following format:
Application No.
(Date)
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.
Attention: Wireline Competition Bureau (here provide the statements required
by section 61.17(b)).
(Exact name of carrier)
(Name of officer or agent)
(Title of officer or agent)
(f) If approved, the issuing carrier must comply with all terms and use all
authority specified in the grant. If a carrier elects to use less than the
authority granted, it must apply to the Commission for modification of the
original grant. If a carrier elects not to use the authority granted within
sixty days of its effective date, the original grant will be automatically
cancelled by the Commission.
