Section 214 - Domestic

---

Domestic entry and exit: To become a telecommunications carrier or to begin providing service, it is not necessary to file an application for authority under section 214 of the Act. The Commission's regulation itself, at 47 C.F.R. section 63.01, confers domestic section 214 authority, by stating, "Any party that would be a domestic interstate common carrier is authorized. . ." Only to discontinue service is it necessary to file an application under 47 C.F.R. section 63.71.

In 1999 the FCC eliminated all entry certification filing requirements under section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934 and streamlined exit certification requirements under that section. "Implementation of Section 402(b)(2)(A)) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC Docket No. 97-11, FCC 99-104, Released: June 30, 1999. [Word Perfect] | [Text]
