ĄĄŌe%ä,ĄĄŌ 1.2, requesting that the Commission issue a declaratory ruling confirming Ō ¬xµŌthat, under existing law and Commission rules and polices, interexchange carriers (IXCs) may elect not to purchase switched access services offered under tariff by competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs). Ō "ŌĮŠĮIn its petition, AT&T states that as a result of the Commission's pro©competitive policies, both Ō ¬x…Ōprior to and since the enactment of the Telecommunication Act of 1996, a number of entities have entered Ō ¬xĻŌlocal exchange markets in an attempt to compete with the incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) in Ō ¬xąŌproviding services both to end users and access customers. AT&T contends a substantial number of these Ō ¬x—Ōcompetitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) have adopted business plans under which they impose Ō ¬x’Ōswitched access charges that are higher, in some cases by more than twenty times, than those charged by Ō ¬x¬Ōits ILEC competitor in the same area in which the CLEC operates. AT&T asserts that over the last several Ō ¬xMŌmonths, they have engaged in negotiations with a number of such CLECs, seeking reductions in those Ō ¬xŽŌcarriers' access rates. According to AT&T, many of the CLECs take the position that AT&T is legally Ō ¬xÜŌobligated to accept the CLEC access services at whatever prices they choose to set. AT&T argues that Ō ¬xØŌthese CLECs base their position on the "filed tariff doctrine," and insist that AT&T pay their rates, even Ō ¬x3Ōwhere AT&T has not affirmatively placed orders with the CLEC for switched access service at those Ō ¬xåŌprices. Therefore, AT&T seeks a declaratory ruling that existing law, policy and regulation does not require IXCs to purchase tariffed access service from CLECs. ĮŠĮ ŠŠĮŠĮThis matter shall be treated as a "permit©but©disclose" proceeding in accordance with the Commission's ex parte rules. Persons making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda summarizing the presentations must contain summaries of substance of the presentations and not merely a listing of the subjects discussed. More that a one or two sentence description of the views and arguments presented is generally required. Other rules pertaining to oral and written presentations are set forth in Section 1.120(b) as well.
