(WorldCom) and MCI Communications Corp. (MCI) have filed an amendment (Amendment) to the Consolidated Application for Transfer of Control of MCI and Request for Special Temporary Authority (Applications) that WorldCom filed with the Commission on October 1, 1997 pursuant to the Cable  Y-Landing License Act? yO-ԍ An Act relating to the Landing and Operation of Submarine Cables in the United States, 47 U.S.C.  3439. and sections 214, 309(f), and 310(d) of the Communications  Y-Act, as amended.T ? yO -ԍ 47 U.S.C.  214(a), 309(f), 310(d).T xWorldCom had initially filed the Applications in connection with its announcement of an Exchange Offer (Offer) for all the issued and outstanding stock of MCI. Because the Offer was an unsolicited tender offer that competed with the proposed acquisition of MCI by British Telecommunications plc (BT), the Applications sought authority from the Commission for transfer of control of MCI from MCI's current shareholders in accord with the Commission's twostep approval process forO" + + +#nQ U !N6 g nQ U AO6h  !

Cir. 1987) (Tender Offer Policy Statement).B Accordingly, Volumes I and II of the Applications requested that the Commission grant WorldCom Special Temporary Authority (STA) for an interim transfer of stock of MCI and its licensee subsidiaries to an independent voting trustee (Voting Trustee). Volume III of the Applications requested that should the tender of MCI stock be successful, the Commission approve the transfer of control to WorldCom from the Voting Trustee of licenses and authorizations held by MCI and its subsidiaries. xOn October 3, 1997, the Common Carrier Bureau (Bureau) released a Public  Y1-Notice1 yO -ԍ WorldCom Applies for Special Authority to Transfer Control to Trustee of MCI Licenses and  {O-Authorizations, Public Notice, CC Docket No. 97211, DA 972137 (rel. Oct. 3, 1997). establishing a pleading cycle for interested parties to respond to the Request for Special Temporary Authority filed by WorldCom. The Bureau noted that it would seek comment on the second step of the application process, i.e., the application to transfer control of MCI from the Voting Trustee to WorldCom, in a subsequent Public  Y -Notice. On October 9, 1997, the Bureau released a further Public Notice*Z F yO-ԍ Common Carrier Bureau Revises Pleading Schedule for Worldcom Application for Special Authority to  {O-Transfer Control to Trustee of MCI Licenses and Authorizations, Public Notice, CC Docket No. 97211, DA 972179 (rel. Oct. 9, 1997).* in which it revised the STA pleading cycle. xBy the Amendment, WorldCom and MCI seek to: (1) withdraw WorldComs Step I transfer applications, and the related request for STA; and (2) substitute MCI for the Voting Trustee as the transferor in WorldComs Step II transfer applications so that the Applications will now seek approval for a single, one-step transfer of control of MCI to WorldCom. According to the Amendment, these revisions are necessitated by the November 9, 1997 agreement between WorldCom and MCI to merge the two companies pursuant to which MCI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of WorldCom. As a result, WorldCom will not pursue the Offer for MCI as contemplated when WorldCom initially filed the Applications. xInterested parties may file comments regarding or petitions to deny the  Y-Applications as amended by the Amendment no later than January 5, 1998 . Oppositions or responses to these comments and petitions may be filed no later than  Yf- January 26, 1998 . For administrative convenience, the various applications listed below have been consolidated into one general docket. Accordingly, new file numbers  Y9-will not be assigned to the individual applications for transfer of control. All filings regarding any aspect of the proposed merger should reference the Common Carrier docket number assigned to this proceeding, CC Docket No. 97-211.
