§ 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, for special permission applications requiring fees as
set forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, carriers shall submit
the appropriate fee and associated payment form electronically through
the process set forth in § 1.1105 of this chapter and, if practicable,
the application and associated documents electronically in accordance
with the procedures set forth on the Commission's website,
www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees. Applications which must be filed
in hard copy format should be submitted according to the procedures set
forth on the web page of the FCC's Office of the Secretary,
https://www.fcc.gov/secretary.
(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.
