No. 1 hh@)  Y-=ORDERă 7 Adopted: February 27, 1995; Released: February 27, 1995 By the Deputy Chief, Tariff Division, Common Carrier Bureau:  Y-x1.` ` On September 30, 1994, Bell Atlantic Telephone Companies (Bell Atlantic) filed Transmittal No. 700 to introduce new term pricing plan discounts for the following selected DS1 and DS3 switched transport services: switched transport entrance facilities; direct trunk transport; and multiplexing. Bell Atlantic does not propose to make any of its term pricing plan discounts available for customers of tandem switched transport.  Ye-x2.` ` On October 25, 1994, WilTel, Inc. (WilTel) and The Competitive Telecommunications Association (CompTel) filed petitions to reject or suspend and investigate Transmittal No. 700. The petitioners argue that Bell Atlantic failed to provide sufficient cost support for the transmittal and that it discriminates against tandem switched transport customers. CompTel argues that because Bell Atlantic's cost study for Transmittal No. 700 shows no unit cost differences between providing one DS3 and three DS3s, the  Y-Commission should not permit Bell Atlantic to establish rate categories for multiple DS3s.p TT"-#&m PE37b&P#эxCompTel Petition at 45.p CompTel and WilTel argue that Bell Atlantic's proposal is discriminatory to smaller carriers because term discounts are available for DS1 and DS3 service for directtrunked transport but not for tandemswitched transport, and larger discounts are offered for DS3 customers  Y#-than for DS1 customers.#h T'-#&m PE37b&P#эxWilTel Petition at 67; CompTel Petition at 35. "h$0*0*0*%"Ԍ Y-x3.` ` In its reply, filed November 4, 1994, Bell Atlantic maintains that the rates in Transmittal No. 700 extend to switched transport service the identical term plans as are  Y-currently in effect for special access services.q  TK-#&m PE37D&P#эxBell Atlantic Reply at 1.q Bell Atlantic, citing the Virtual Collocation  Y-Order, h  T-#&m PE37D&P#эxExpanded Interconnection with Local Telephone Company Facilities, Memorandum Opinion  T-and Order, 9 FCC Rcd 5154, 5202 (1994) (Virtual Collocation Order).  contends that its transmittal is based on specific Commission approval of volume and  Y-term discounts for switched transport.q  Ti-#&m PE37D&P#эxBell Atlantic Reply at 2.q Bell Atlantic further contends that this proposal meets  Y-the new services test under the price cap rules, and does not discriminate.iD T -#&m PE37b&P#эxId. at 34.i  Y-x4.` ` Bell Atlantic filed Special Permission Application No. 235 on February 17, 1995, to modify material filed in Transmittal No. 700. In this application, Bell Atlantic proposes to allow the term pricing plan established in this transmittal only for the Washington D.C. study area, where it claims to have 126 operational DS1equivalent switched transport crossconnects. Bell Atlantic also seeks permission to advance the scheduled effective date of Transmittal No. 700 from April 1, 1995 to February 28, 1995. Bell Atlantic notes that it has not yet met the threshold for offering volume and term  Y -discounts in any of its other study areas. $D T-#&m PE37b&P#эxSee Expanded Interconnection with Local Telephone Company Facilities, Second Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 8 FCC Rcd 7374, 743435 (1993).  Y -x5.` ` The Tariff Division has reviewed Bell Atlantic's Transmittal No. 700, Application No. 235, and the related pleadings. We conclude that no compelling argument has been presented that this tariff, as revised, is patently unlawful so as to warrant rejection or that an investigation is warranted at this time.  YO-x6.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the petitions to reject or suspend and investigate Bell Atlantic's revisions to Tariff F.C.C. No. 1, Transmittal No. 700, filed by WilTel, Inc. and The Competitive Telecommunications Association, ARE DENIED.  Y-x7.` ` IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Application No. 235, filed on February 17, 1995, by Bell Atlantic Telephone Companies IS GRANTED. This will enable Bell Atlantic  Y-to file the tariff material requested therein to be effective on not less than one day's notice.
