By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau :
1. As directed by the Commission,1 the Enforcement Bureau
has been conducting an informal investigation into
whether further enforcement action is warranted against
Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc. (Global
Crossing) in view of the Commission's determination that
Global Crossing violated section 276 of the

U.S.C. § 276, and the Commission's rules by failing to
pay per-call compensation to certain payphone owners.

negotiated the terms of a Consent Decree that would
terminate the Enforcement Bureau's informal
investigation. A copy of the Consent Decree is attached

evaluated the facts before us. We believe that the
public interest would be served by approving the Consent
Decree and terminating the investigation.
