ORDER NO. 28412

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that on June 10, 2000, U S WEST Communications, Inc. (U S WEST) filed a Statement of Generally Available Terms (SGAT) as described by Section 252(f) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. ( 252(f). An SGAT provides the terms and conditions an incumbent telephone company generally offers to other companies that seek interconnection with the incumbent company. U S WEST’s SGAT provides terms and conditions for interconnection, access to unbundled network elements, ancillary services, and resale of U S WEST’s telcommunications services.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that the terms and conditions of an SGAT must comply with the interconnection terms set forth in Section 251 and the pricing standards of Section 252(d) of the Telecommunications Act. Pursuant to Section 252(f)(2), the Commission is required to review the SGAT and ensure that it complies with the interconnection requirements and pricing standards of the Telecommunications Act.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that pursuant to 47 U.S.C. ( 252(f)(3), the Commission is required to complete its review of U S WEST’s statement within 60 days or permit such statement to take effect. However, permitting the SGAT to take effect at the end of 60 days does not preclude the Commission from continuing to review the statement or from approving or disapproving it at a later date. See 47 U.S.C. 252(f)(4). The Commission will consider not issuing an Order approving or disapproving the SGAT within 60 days, and instead may permit it to take effect pursuant to Section 252(f)(3).
