The Commission adopted measures to
streamline tariff filing requirements for local exchange carriers
(LECs) pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In order to
achieve a streamlined and deregulatory environment for LEC tariff
filings, incumbent LECs are required to file tariffs
electronically. This NPRM in FCC 10-127, seeks to expand the
electronic filing requirement to all other carriers. This
non-substantive change request is being submitted to OMB to
activate the final rule, FCC 11-92, Report and Order. The OMB
approved the NPRM and the final rule requirements did not change as
proposed.
