   other data, but do not include certain requirements relating to the filing
   of information with respect to specific services, accounting systems and

   required data as set forth in the various sections of this part.

   (c) Carriers becoming subject to the provisions of  Sec.  Sec. 43.21 and 43.43 for the

   Register.

   semi-annually. Reports shall be filed each year on or before March 1st
   (reporting data about their deployment of local exchange services as of
   December 31 of the prior year) and September 1st (reporting data about their
   deployment of local exchange services as of June 31 of the current year).
   Common carriers becoming subject to the provisions of  Sec. 43.11 for the first
   time within a calendar year shall file data for the reporting period in
   which they become eligible and semi-annually thereafter. Common carriers
   subject to the provisions of  Sec. 43.11 shall make an initial filing of the FCC
   Form 477 on May 15, 2000 (reporting data about their deployment of local
   exchange services as of December 31, 1999).
