                                 ERRATUM

By the Chief, Common Carrier Bureau         Released:  June 10, 1998





This Erratum corrects a final rule in the First Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 96-489 (47 C.F.R.  53.205), that the Commission adopted on
December 23, 1996  by changing the word "unaffiliated" in the first line to "affiliated."  That
Order was released on December 24, 1996.    The corrected rule as it reads in the Code of
Federal Regulations (47 C.F.R.  53.207) is as follows:


          Amend rule  53.207 to read: 
          
          
          " 53.207     Successor or assign 
          
          If a BOC transfers to an affiliated entity ownership of any network elements
          that must be provided on an unbundled basis pursuant to section 251(c)(3) of
          the Act, such entity will be deemed to be an 'assign' of the BOC under section
          3(4) of the Act with respect to such transferred network elements.  A BOC
          affiliate shall not be deemed a "successor or assign" of a BOC solely because it
          obtains network elements from the BOC pursuant to section 251(c)(3) of the
          Act."
