E9805)  X -T   _TPxAT&T Corporation (AT&T) filed a formal complaint, File No. E9805, against Bell  Xh - xAtlantic Corporation (Bell Atlantic) on November 5, 1997. In its complaint, AT&T alleges, inter  XS- xalia, that Bell Atlantic has violated requirements set forth in the Commission's order approving  X>- xthe Bell AtlanticNYNEX merger, Applications of NYNEX Corp. Transferor, and Bell Atlantic  X)- xCorp. Transferee For Consent to Transfer Control of NYNEX Corp. and Its Subsidiaries,  X- xMemorandum Opinion and Order, File No. NSDL10 (Aug. 14, 1997) (Merger Order), by  X- x<proposing recurring and nonrecurring rates for unbundled network elements in certain states that  X- xwere not developed according to the requirement in the Merger Order that Bell Atlantic base its  X- xproposed rates on the "forward-looking, economic cost to provide those items." Id. at Appendix  X- xC. The formal complaint is a restricted proceeding for purposes of the Commission's ex parte  X-rules. See 47 C.F.R. 1.1208(c)(1)(i)(B).  X}-  xBell Atlantic's obligation under the Merger Order to base its rates for interconnection,  xtransport and termination, or unbundled network elements on the forwardlooking, economic costs  xmethodology requires that the Commission continue to evaluate Bell Atlantic's compliance with  X:- xthat order. The Merger Order proceeding was originally a "restricted proceeding" for ex parte  X%- xpurposes, but we modified the ex parte rules applicable to it and made it a "permit but disclose"  x>proceeding, subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 1.1206 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R.  x1.1206. The Common Carrier Bureau determined that this modification would "permit a fuller  xexchange on the complex and broad legal policy issues under consideration" in the proceeding.  V- xCommon Carrier Bureau Declares Bell AtlanticNYNEX  Transfer of Control Proceeding a  X- xz"PermitButDisclose" Proceeding for Ex Parte Purposes, 12 FCC Rcd 7750 (Com. Car. Bur.  X - x1997). Because the AT&T complaint proceeding also raises significant and complex legal and  x<policy issues, and because a broader exchange of views on these issues would likewise serve the  Xq"- xpublic interest, the Bureau is hereby modifying the ex parte procedures applicable to the AT&T  xcomplaint proceeding by reclassifying it as a "permit but disclose" proceeding subject to the  x{disclosure requirements set forth in Section 1.1206 of the Rules. See 47 C.F.R. 1.1200(a),  X.%- xL1.1206. We remind interested persons that if any ex parte communication is made in any other  x[proceeding that also addresses the merits or outcome of the AT&T complaint proceeding (File  xMNo. E9805), appropriate disclosure must be made in the complaint proceeding. 47 C.F.R.  1.1206.  X)-   xPersons making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda summarizing  xthe presentation must contain a summary of the substance of the presentation and not merely a  xlisting of the subjects discussed. More than a one or two sentence description of the views and+,,,l*e@k[!\L\ '#k \ h  X- xarguments presented is generally required. See 47 C.F.R.  1.1206(b)(2), as revised. Other rules pertaining to oral and written presentations are set forth in Section 1.1206(b) as well.   xQuestions relating to the formal complaint may be directed to Diane Griffin Harmon of  x>the Enforcement Division, Common Carrier Bureau, at (202) 4180960. The formal complaint  xmaterials are available for inspection and copying in the Enforcement Division, Formal  xComplaints and Investigations Branch, Room 6120, 2025 M Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20554.  xBy the Acting Chief, Enforcement Division, Common Carrier Bureau.
