Accordingly, we seek comment on this proposal and invite specific comment on whether requiring all carriers to comply with sections 61.52 and 61.54 would place an undue burden on carriers that have not been required to comply with such requirements in the past. Moreover, we propose amending the notice requirements of section 61.58 to add a provision that nondominant carriers who are eligible to file pursuant to the streamlining requirements of section 204(a)(3), but choose not to, must file tariffs on at least one days' notice. This addition to section 61.58 would permit us to delete section 61.23 as duplicative, and instead require all carriers to comply with the general notice requirements of

Section 61.58(e) provides notice requirements for tariffs filed by non-price cap carriers. Need: Section 61.58 (e) was adopted to provide adequate opportunity for review of tariffs filed by non-price cap carriers. The periods were shortened to reduce carriers' regulatory burden without restricting the Commission's ability to perform its statutory duty. Legal Basis: 47 U.S.C.

Accordingly, we seek comment on this proposal and invite specific comment on whether requiring all carriers to comply with sections 61.52 and 61.54 would place an undue burden on carriers that have not been required to comply with such requirements in the past. Moreover, we propose amending the notice requirements of section 61.58 to add a provision that nondominant carriers who are eligible to file pursuant to the streamlining requirements of section 204(a)(3), but choose not to, must file tariffs on at least one days' notice. This addition to section 61.58 would permit us to delete section 61.23 as duplicative, and instead require all carriers to comply with the general notice requirements of

A carrier so engaged must file interstate access tariffs in accordance with section 61.38 of this Part and section 69.3(e)(12)(1) of this chapter. Section 61.58 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(2)(i) and adding section a new paragraph (a)(2)(iv) to read as follows: � 61.58 Notice requirements.

In the future, if a page is modified, the carrier must include the transmittal number under which the revised page is being submitted. In the ETFS NPRM, we proposed amending the notice requirements of section 61.58 of our rules to add a provision requiring nondominant carriers that are eligible to file pursuant to the streamlining requirements of section 204(a)(3) of the Act, but choose not to file using these statutory time frames, to file tariffs on at least one day's notice.
