FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 63

[IB Docket No. 12-299; FCC 14-48]


Reform of Rules and Policies on Foreign Carrier Entry Into the 
U.S. Telecommunications Market; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to a final regulation, 
which was published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 
(79 FR 31877). The regulation relates to the contents of applications 
for international common carriers.

DATES: Effective August 3, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Veronica Garcia-Ulloa, Policy 
Division, International Bureau at 202-418-0481; David Krech, Policy 
Division, International Bureau at 202-418-7443; Susan O'Connell, Policy 
Division, International Bureau at 202-418-1484.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule published on Tuesday, June 
3, 2014 (79 FR 31877), the revision description of Sec.  63.18(k) 
incorrectly states that ``Section 63.18 is amended by revising 
paragraph (k) introductory text,'' instead of correctly stating that 
``Section 63.18 is amended by revising paragraph (k),'' leading the 
published final regulation Sec.  63.18(k) to incorrectly keep 
subparagraphs (1)-(3), which should be removed. This correcting 
amendment document removes subparagraphs (1)-(3) of Sec.  63.18(k).

List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 63

    Communications common carriers.

    Accordingly, 47 CFR part 63 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendment:

PART 63--EXTENSION OF LINES, NEW LINES, AND DISCONTINUANCE, 
REDUCTION, OUTAGE AND IMPAIRMENT OF SERVICE BY COMMON CARRIERS; AND 
GRANTS OF RECOGNIZED PRIVATE OPERATING AGENCY STATUS

1. The authority citation for part 63 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  Sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), 10, 11, 201-205, 214, 218, 
403 and 651 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 
151, 154(i), 154(j), 160, 201-205, 214, 218, 403, and 571, unless 
otherwise noted.

2. Section 63.18 is amended by revising paragraph (k) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  63.18  Contents of applications for international common 
carriers.

* * * * *
    (k) For any country that the applicant has listed in response to 
paragraph (j) of this section that is not a member of the World Trade 
Organization, the applicant shall make a demonstration as to whether 
the foreign carrier has market power, or lacks market power, with 
reference to the criteria in Sec.  63.10(a).

    NOTE TO PARAGRAPH (k):  Under Sec.  63.10(a), the Commission 
presumes, subject to rebuttal, that a foreign carrier lacks market 
power in a particular foreign country if the applicant demonstrates 
that the foreign carrier lacks 50 percent market share in 
international transport facilities or services, including cable 
landing station access and backhaul facilities, intercity facilities 
or services, and local access facilities or services on the foreign 
end of a particular route.
