CenturyLink, Frontier, Verizon Back Ending 2 Part 61 Tariff Rules; ITTA Targets 1

Telcos supported FCC elimination of two Part 61 tariff rules, as proposed in an Oct. 18 NPRM: a cross-referencing rule, which bars carriers from referencing their own tariffs and those of affiliates in tariff publications; and a rule requiring price-cap ILECs file short-form tariff review plans 90 days before their access tariffs are due. CenturyLink, Frontier Communications and Verizon backed ending both rules, in docket 18-276. ITTA supported scrapping the cross-referencing rule.
