1\. On April 17, 2000 the Bell Atlantic Telephone Companies (Bell
Atlantic) filed Transmittal No. 1273 to revise Bell Atlantic's Tariff
F.C.C. No.1, Access Service, Collocated Interconnection. One of the
revisions proposed in Transmittal No. 1273, which is currently scheduled
to become effective on May 2, 2000, is to introduce a new service option
for Bell Atlantic's IntelliLight Shared Single Path (ISSP) service to
allow termination at a Collocated Interconnection arrangement. Other
revisions clarify the application of ISSP Optional Features and
Functions, and correct a miscellaneous typographical error. No petitions
have been filed against this transmittal.

2\. Transmittal No. 1273 raises the same issues regarding rate levels,
rate structures, and terms and conditions of physical and virtual
collocation services as those that are subject to the investigation of
Bell Atlantic's Tariff F.C.C. No. 1, expanded interconnection service
offering. Therefore, Transmittal No. 1273, as regards the revisions for
collocation services, is suspended for one day and will be subject to
the investigation initiated in the Investigation of Bell Atlantic's New
Expanded Interconnection Offerings (*Bell Atlantic Suspension Order*),
and the *Virtual Collocation Tariff Suspension Order*.[^1] Any rates
proposed in this transmittal will be subject to an accounting order to
facilitate any refunds that may later prove necessary.

3\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 204(a) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 204(a), and the
authority delegated pursuant to Sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, the revisions regarding
collocation services to Bell Atlantic's Tariff F.C.C. No.1, filed under
Transmittal No. 1273, ARE SUSPENDED for one day from the effective date
and an investigation of the referenced transmittal is instituted and
incorporated within CC Docket Nos. 96-165 and 94-97.

4\. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that BELL ATLANTIC SHALL FILE tariff revisions
within five business days of the release date of this Order to reflect
this suspension.

5\. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 204(a) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i) and
204(a), the BELL ATLANTIC Companies shall keep an accurate account of
all amounts received by reason of the rates that are subject of this
investigation.
