  • they are appropriate for the current state of competition in international services. Accordingly, the staff does not find that the contract filing requirements in section 43.51 are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of such [telecommunications] service.'' Staff therefore recommends that repeal or modification is not warranted. Part 43, Sections 43.53, 43.61, 43.82 - Reports of Communications Common Carriers and Certain Affiliates Description Section 219 of the Communications Act authorizes the Commission to require all carriers that are subject to the Act to file annual reports with the Commission. Section 220 allows the Commission to prescribe the forms of any and all accounts, records, and memoranda to be kept by carriers.

Initial Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports appear to be unnecessary and duplicative of other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no longer in effect.

Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports regarding the division of international telegraph charges appear to be unnecessary now that telegraph service is no longer a major component of telecommunications traffic. In addition, this reporting requirement duplicates requirements in other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no

Initial Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports appear to be unnecessary and duplicative of other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no longer in effect.

Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports regarding the division of international telegraph charges appear to be unnecessary now that telegraph service is no longer a major component of telecommunications traffic. In addition, this reporting requirement duplicates requirements in other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no

Accordingly, the staff does not find that the contract filing requirements in section 43.51 are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of such [telecommunications] service.''

Initial Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports appear to be unnecessary and duplicative of other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no longer in effect.

Initial Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports appear to be unnecessary and duplicative of other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no longer in effect.

Accordingly, the staff does not find that the contract filing requirements in section 43.51 are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of such [telecommunications] service.'' Staff therefore recommends that repeal or modification is not warranted. Part 43, Sections 43.53, 43.61, 43.82 - Reports of Communications Common Carriers and Certain Affiliates Description Section 219 of the Communications Act authorizes the Commission to require all carriers that are subject to the Act to file annual reports with the Commission. Section 220 allows the Commission to prescribe the forms of any and all accounts, records, and memoranda to be kept by carriers.

In addition, this reporting requirement duplicates requirements in other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no

Accordingly, the staff does not find that the contract filing requirements in section 43.51 are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of such [telecommunications] service.'' Staff therefore recommends that repeal or modification is not warranted. Part 43, Sections 43.53, 43.61, 43.82 - Reports of Communications Common Carriers and Certain Affiliates Description Section 219 of the Communications Act authorizes the Commission to require all carriers that are subject to the Act to file annual reports with the Commission. Section 220 allows the Commission to prescribe the forms of any and all accounts, records, and memoranda to be kept by carriers.

The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports appear to be unnecessary and duplicative of other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no longer in effect.

Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services.

In addition, this reporting requirement duplicates requirements in other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no

Initial Recommendation The staff recommends continuation of the ongoing efforts to streamline further the ARMIS reporting requirements. The staff also recommends modifying or eliminating some of the rules governing reports to be filed by carriers providing international telecommunications services. In particular, the staff recommends elimination of section 43.53 of the rules because the required reports appear to be unnecessary and duplicative of other rules. The staff also recommends that section 43.81 of the rules be removed from Part 43 since it is no longer in effect.
