   Adopted: April 7, 2006 Released: April 7, 2006

   By the Deputy Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. On September 29, 2005, APCC Services, Inc. ("APCC") filed a formal
       complaint pursuant to section 208 of the Communications Act of 1934,
       as amended ("Act"), against Qwest Communications Corporation
       ("Qwest"). APCC alleged that Qwest had violated sections 201(b) and
       276(b) of the Act by failing to make certain payphone compensation
       payments.

    2. On March 28, 2006, APCC and Qwest filed a joint motion requesting that
       we dismiss the Complaint with prejudice. The Joint Motion states that
       the parties have reached a mutually-acceptable resolution of their
       dispute and executed a Mutual Settlement Agreement and Release.

    3. We are satisfied that dismissing the Complaint with prejudice will
       serve the public interest by promoting the private resolution of
       disputes and by eliminating the need for further litigation and the
       expenditure of further time and resources of the parties and this
       Commission.

    4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), 201(b),
       208, and 276 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
       SS 154(i), 154(j), 201(b), 208, and 276, sections 1.720-1.736 of the
       Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. SS 1.720-1.736, and the authority
       delegated in sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47
       C.F.R. SS 0.111 and 0.311, that the Joint Motion IS GRANTED, that the
       Complaint IS DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, and that this proceeding IS
       TERMINATED.
