The FCC seeks comment on CenturyLink’s proposed compliance plan for forbearance relief from cost assignment rules, the agency said in a public notice Thursday (http://bit.ly/1coVZeg). The FCC in May conditionally granted forbearance to price cap carriers from rules requiring them to assign costs and maintain the network and revenue from services provided to specific categories, the notice said. But that grant was expressly conditioned on Wireline Bureau approval of a compliance plan to be filed by price cap carriers, “describing in detail how the price cap carrier would continue to fulfill its statutory and regulatory obligations,” it said. Comments in WC docket 12-61 are due Jan. 16, replies Jan. 30.
