|
Approved by OMB 3060-0686
|
Purpose of Form
This form is used by an international section 214 authorization holder (Authorized Carrier or U.S. Carrier) to notify the Commission that it has become or seeks to become affiliated with a foreign carrier authorized to operate in a foreign destination market to which the U.S. carrier provides service. See 47 CFR § 63.11.
Who Must File This Form and When
An Authorized Carrier must file this form to notify the Commission that it has become or seeks to become affiliated with a foreign carrier that is authorized to operate in a foreign destination market to which the U.S. Carrier provides service. The notification must be filed at least forty-five (45) days prior to the start of the affiliation except in certain circumstances based on whether the foreign carrier has market power in the destination market, in which case the form needs to be filed within thirty (30) days after the affiliation begins.
Affiliations Requiring Prior Notification: An Authorized Carrier is required to notify the Commission forty-five (45) days before consummation of either of the following types of transactions:
Acquisition by the Authorized Carrier, or by any entity that controls the Authorized Carrier, or by any entity that directly or indirectly owns more than 25% of the capital stock of the Authorized Carrier, of a controlling interest in a foreign carrier that is authorized to operate in a market that the U.S. carrier is authorized to serve; OR
Acquisition of a direct or indirect interest greater than 25%, or a controlling interest, in the capital stock of the U.S. carrier by a foreign carrier that is authorized to operate in a market to which the U.S. carrier is authorized to serve, or by an entity that controls such a foreign carrier. See 47 CFR § 63.11(a)(1), (2).
Exceptions to Requirement of Prior Notification. An Authorized Carrier is not required to file a notification prior to consummation if:
The Commission has previously determined in an adjudication that a foreign carrier lacks market power in the destination market (for example in an international section 214 application or a declaratory ruling proceeding); or
The foreign carrier owns no facilities in that destination market. For this purpose, a carrier is said to own facilities if it holds an ownership, indefeasible-right-of-user, or leasehold interest in a cable landing station or in bare capacity in international or domestic telecommunications facilities (excluding switches). See 47 CFR § 63.11(b)(1)(i), (ii).
If an Authorized Carrier cannot meet either of the exceptions in section 63.11(b)(1) of the Commission’s rules, then prior notification is not required if the Authorized Carrier certifies that the destination market where the foreign carrier is authorized to operate is a World Trade Organization (WTO) member and the Authorized Carrier provides certification to satisfy either of the following:
The Authorized Carrier demonstrates that it is entitled to retain non-dominant classification on the newly affiliated route pursuant to 47 CFR § 63.10; or
The authorized carrier agrees to comply with the dominant carrier safeguards in 47 CFR § 63.10 effective upon acquisition of the affiliation. See 47 CFR § 63.11(b)(2)(i), (ii).
Notification After Consummation. An Authorized Carrier that becomes affiliated with a foreign carrier and has not previously notified the Commission as required in section 63.11(c), 47 CFR § 63.11(c), shall notify the Commission within thirty days after consummation of the acquisition. (Examples include acquisition by the Authorized Carrier of a direct or indirect interest in a foreign carrier that is greater than 25%, but not a controlling interest. See 47 CFR § 63.11(c) for additional examples.)
Description of Form
This form consists of a main form and the ability to file an attachment(s) to support the request. The Authorized Carrier is encouraged to upload a single document in machine readable format, including all required information. The Authorized Carrier must fill in all required fields, upload required documents, make all required certifications, and sign the form before submitting the application.
Information Current and Complete
Information filed in the application with the Commission must be kept current and complete under section 1.65 of the Commission’s rules. Section 63.50 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR § 63.50, permits the Applicant or the party to the application as a matter of right to amend any application prior to the date of any final action taken by the Commission. Pursuant to section 63.50, Applicant(s) must notify the Commission regarding any substantial and significant changes in the information furnished in the application while it remains pending.
Applicable Rules and Regulations
The notification requirements for Authorized Carrier that becomes or seeks to become affiliated with a foreign carrier can be found in 47 CFR § 63.11.
“[A] carrier [who] is authorized by the Commission (“Authorized Carrier”) to provide service between the United States and a particular foreign destination market and it becomes, or seeks to become, affiliated with a foreign carrier that is authorized to operate in that market, then its authorization to provide that international service is conditioned upon notifying the Commission of that affiliation.” 47 CFR § 63.11.
Applicant(s) should refer to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. The Debt Collection Act requires all federal agencies ensure that no debtors to the Federal government obtain any licenses or other benefits from the FCC. To ensure this, the Commission must collect FRN information to correlate its Applicants with any outstanding Federal debt that they might have incurred in other dealings with the Federal government. For additional information, see the FCC’s Debt Collection webpage.
