Title 47 - Telecommunication
Sections 61.152 and 61.153 set forth the procedures to be followed by a carrier applying for a waiver of any of the rules in this part. [55 FR 19173, May 8, 1990] Applications for special permission must contain: (a) A detailed description of the tariff publication proposed to be put into effect; (b) A statement citing the specific rules and the grounds on which waiver is sought; (c) A showing of good cause; and (d) A statement as to the date and method of filing the original of the application for special permission as required by §61.153(b) and the date and method of filing the copies required by §61.153 (a) and (c). If approved, the carrier must comply with all terms and use all authority specified in the grant. If a carrier elects to use less than the authority granted, it must apply to the Commission for modification of the original grant. If a carrier elects not to use the authority granted within sixty days of its effective date, the original grant will be automatically cancelled by the Commission. [55 FR 19173, May 8, 1990] (a) An application for special permission must be addressed to “Secretary, Federal Communication Commission, Washington, DC 20554.” The date on which the application is received by the Secretary of the Commission (or the Mail Room where submitted by mail) is considered the official filing date. (b) In addition, except for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees electronically, for all special permission applications requiring fees as set forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, the issuing carrier must submit the original of the application letter (without attachments), FCC Form 159, and the appropriate fee to the Mellon Bank, Pittsburgh, PA at the address set forth in §1.1105 of this chapter. Issuing carriers submitting tariffing fees electronically should submit the Form 159 and the original cover letter to the Secretary of the Commission in lieu of the Mellon Bank. The Form 159 should display the Electronic Audit Code in the box in the upper left hand corner marked “reserved.” Issuing carriers should submit these fee materials on the same date as the submission in paragraph (a) of this section. (c) In addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, the issuing carrier must send a copy of the application letter with all attachments to the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission and a separate copy with all attachments to the Chief, Pricing Policy Division. If a carrier applies for special permission to revise joint tariffs, the application must state that it is filed on behalf of all carriers participating in the affected service. Applications must be numbered consecutively in a series separate from FCC tariff numbers, bear the signature of the officer or agent of the carrier, and be in the following format: ____________________ Application No. (Date) Secretary Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554. Attention: Wireline Competition Bureau (here provide the statements required by Sec. 61.152). [55 FR 19173, May 8, 1990, as amended at 64 FR 46592, 46593, Aug. 26, 1999; 67 FR 13228, Mar. 21, 2002]
