                                   ORDER

Adopted:  August 12, 1996                   Released:  August 20,
1996


By the Commission:

     1.   In the Interexchange Proceeding, the Commission adopted
certain 800 and inbound service bundling restrictions, including a
"fresh look" requirement permitting AT&T Corp. (AT&T) customers
with Tariff 12 packages that included inbound service to terminate
service without termination liability within 90 days of the time 800
numbers became portable.  AT&T filed a petition for a declaratory
ruling, asking us to extend the 800 and inbound service bundling
restrictions adopted in the Interexchange Proceeding, including the
fresh look requirement, to all interexchange carriers.  In the
Interexchange Order, we found that the rationale used to justify the
800 and inbound service bundling restrictions did not extend to other
interexchange carriers and denied AT&T's petition.

     2.   In May 1993, AT&T filed a petition for judicial review of the
Interexchange Order insofar as it affirmed the Commission's fresh look
policy.  Because the fresh look period expired in July 1993, and was not
extended by the Commission, AT&T subsequently filed a motion
asking the court to dismiss its petition for review and to vacate the
Interexchange Order as moot.  On April 19, 1994, the court granted the
motion to dismiss and remanded the proceeding to the Commission
with instructions to vacate the Interexchange Order.
     
     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Section 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), that the
underlying agency order, Interexchange Order, 8 FCC Rcd 2659 (1993), IS
VACATED.
