RTL-NEW
Purpose of Form
Form RTL-NEW is used to file an initial list of U.S.-international routes for which the carrier has a direct termination arrangement, as required by section 63.22(h) of the Commission’s rules. Carriers are under an obligation to maintain the continuing accuracy and completeness of information included on the RTL-NEW form. If you need to update information associated with an existing list, please use the RTL-MOD form.
The purpose of this form is to collect a list of U.S.-international routes for which the carrier has a direct termination arrangement. This list is used by the FCC to determine which carriers have direct termination arrangements on a particular U.S.-international route.
Who Must File This Form and When
An initial list of U.S.-international routes must be filed by any carrier that has an arrangement with a foreign carrier for direct termination in a foreign destination within 30 days of entering into such an arrangement. If the carrier has previously filed an initial list with Form RTL-NEW, any revisions to the list should be filed, instead, using the RTL-MOD form within 30 days of the change.
