In CC Docket No., the Commission is
seeking comment on a proposal filed by a multi-association group
(MAG). The MAG plan proposes to reform the interstate access charge
structure, to establish explicit universal service support that
will be sustainable in an increasingly competititve marketplace,
and to require interexchange carriers to offer their services that
are available in other areas in the rate-of-return LEC's service
areas. Affected carriers may be required to file tariffs and to
make periodic and annual data filings.

with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
