     On May 12, 1995 the Governor's Office of the Territory of Guam
filed a petition requesting that the Federal Communications
Commission institute a rulemaking proceeding to integrate
telecommunications rates among the United States Mainland, Hawaii,
Alaska, Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands and the Territory of Guam.
     
     The Governor of Guam states that (i) integration of rates will
significantly reduce the cost of interstate telephone service; and
(ii) that the non-integrated rates currently paid by the people of
Guam are unreasonably discriminatory under Section 202(a) of the
Communications Act of 1934.

     Interested parties may file comments on this petition on or
before August 15, 1995, and reply comments on or before August 31,
1995, with the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 1919
M Street, N.W., Room 222, Washington, D.C. 20554.  Comments and
reply comments should also reference AAD 95-84.  Four (4) copies of
each comment and reply comment should also be sent to Kent Nilsson,
Cost Analysis Branch, Accounting and Audits Division, Common
Carrier Bureau, Room 812, 2000 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20554, and one (1) copy should be sent to the Commission's
contractor for public service record duplication:  International
Transcription Service (ITS), 2100 M Street, N.W., Suite 140,
Washington, D.C. 20037.  Copies of the petition may be obtained
from the Accounting and Audits Division's public reference room,
