 (formerly  known  as  Telenor  Satellite  Mobile  Services,  Inc.).  In  the  December  18,  2001,  Order  and  Authorization  (16  FCC  Rcd  22897,

 which  in  turn  is  a  wholly-  owned  subsidiary  of  Telenor  ASA.  The  notification  advises  the  Commission  that,  on  April  15,  2002,  Telenor 
 Communications  AS  was  removed  from  the  ownership  chain  and  its  ownership  interest  in  Telenor  Broadband  Services  AS  was  divided 
 between  two  newly-  created  holding  companies,  Telenor  Satellite  Services  Holding  AS  (62.6%)  and  Telenor  Broadcast  Holding  AS 
 (37.4%),  both  of  which  were  wholly  owned  by  Telenor  ASA.  The  notification  also  advises  that  Telenor  Broadband  Services  AS

 Notification  filed  December  14,  2005,  of  the  pro  forma  transfer  of  control  of  the  following  international  section  214  authorizations

 Between  April  15,  2002  and  November  15,  2005,  TSI's  parent,  TSSHI,  was  a  wholly-  owned  subsidiary  of  Telenor  Satellite  Mobile  AS,

 notification  advises  that,  on  November  15,  2005,  an  internal  corporate  restructuring  occurred  which  removed  TSS  and  Telenor 
 Broadcast  Holding  AS  from  the  ownership  chain  and  concentrated  100%  direct  ownership  of  Telenor  Satellite  Mobile  Ventures  AS

 CONDITIONS  APPLICABLE  TO  INTERNATIONAL  SECTION  214  AUTHORIZATIONS 
 (1)  These  authorizations  are  subject  to  the  Exclusion  List  for  International  Section  214  Authorizations,  which  identifies  restrictions  on  providing  service  to  particular  countries  or  using  particular  facilities.  The  most  recent  Exclusion  List  is 
 attached  to  this  Public  Notice.  The  list  applies  to  all  U.  S.  international  carriers,  including  those  that  have  previously  received  global  or  limited  global  Section  214  authority,  whether  by  streamlined  grant  or  specific  written  order.  Carriers  are 
 advised  that  the  attached  Exclusion  List  is  subject  to  amendment  at  any  time  pursuant  to  the  procedures  set  forth  in  Streamlining  the  International  Section  214  Authorization  Process  and  Tariff  Requirements,  IB  Docket  No.  95-  118,  11  FCC 
 Rcd  12884  (1996),  para.  18.  A  copy  of  the  current  Exclusion  List  will  be  maintained  in  the  FCC  Reference  and  Information  Center  and  will  be  available  at  http://  www.  fcc.  gov/  ib/  td/  pf/  exclusionlist.  html.  It  also  will  be  attached  to  each  Public  Notice 
 that  grants  international  Section  214  authority. 
 (2)  The  export  of  telecommunications  services  and  related  payments  to  countries  that  are  subject  to  economic  sanctions  may  be  restricted.  For  information  concerning  current  restrictions,  call  the  Office  of  Foreign  Assets  Control,  U.  S. 
 Department  of  the  Treasury,  (202)  622-  2520. 
 (3)  Carriers  shall  comply  with  the  requirements  of  Section  63.11  of  the  Commission's  rules,  which  requires  notification  by,  and  in  certain  circumstances  prior  notification  by,  U.  S.  carriers  acquiring  an  affiliation  with  foreign  carriers.  A  carrier  that 
 acquires  an  affiliation  with  a  foreign  carrier  will  be  subject  to  possible  reclassification  as  a  dominant  carrier  on  an  affiliated  route  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Section  63.10  of  the  rules.  The  Commission  recently  amended  Section  63.11  of  the 
 rules  in  its  Order  on  Reconsideration  in  IB  Docket  No.  97-  142,  15  FCC  Rcd  18158  (2000).

 these  requirements  most  recently  in  2000  Biennial  Regulatory  Review,  Policy  and  Rules  Concerning  the  International,  Interexchange  Marketplace,  FCC  01-  93,  released,  March  20,  2001,  66  Fed.  Reg.  16874  (Mar.  28,  2001).  See  also  1998 
 Biennial  Regulatory  Review  -  Reform  of  the  International  Settlements  Policy  and  Associated  Filing  Requirements,  IB  Docket  Nos.  98-  148,  95-  22,  CC  Docket  No.  90-  337  (Phase  II),  FCC  99-  73  (rel.  May  6,  1999).  In  addition,  any  carrier 
 interconnecting  private  lines  to  the  U.  S.  public  switched  network  at  its  switch,  including  any  switch  in  which  the  carrier  obtains  capacity  either  through  lease  or  otherwise,  shall  file  annually  with  the  Chief,  International  Bureau,  a  certified 
 statement  containing,  on  a  country-  specific  basis,  the  number  and  type  (e.  g.,  64  kbps  circuits)  of  private  lines  interconnected  in  such  manner.  The  Commission  will  treat  the  country  of  origin  information  as  confidential.  Carriers  need 
 not  file  their  contracts  for  interconnection  unless  the  Commission  specifically  requests.  Carriers  shall  file  their  annual  report  on  February  1  (covering  international  private  lines  interconnected  during  the  preceding  January  1  to  December  31 
 period)  of  each  year.  International  private  lines  to  countries  for  which  the  Commission  has  authorized  the  provision  of  switched  basic  services  over  private  lines  at  any  time  during  a  particular  reporting  period  are  exempt  from  this 
 requirement.  See  47  C.  F.  R.    43.51(  d). 
 (5)  Carriers  authorized  to  provide  private  line  service  either  on  a  facilities  or  resale  basis  are  limited  to  the  provision  of  such  private  line  service  only  between  the  United  States  and  those  foreign  points  covered  by  their  referenced 
 applications  for  Section  214  authority.  In  addition,  the  carriers  may  not  --  and  their  tariffs  must  state  that  their  customers  may  not  --  connect  their  private  lines  to  the  public  switched  network  at  either  the  U.  S.  or  foreign  end,  or  both,  for  the 
 provision  of  international  switched  basic  services,  unless  the  Commission  has  authorized  the  provision  of  switched  services  over  private  lines  to  the  particular  country  at  the  foreign  end  of  the  private  line  or  the  carrier  is  exchanging 
 switched  traffic  with  a  foreign  carrier  that  the  Commission  has  determined  lacks  market  power  in  the  country  at  the  foreign  end  of  the  private  line.  See  47  C.  F.  R.    63.16,  63.22(  e),  63.23(  d).  A  foreign  carrier  lacks  market  power  for  purposes  of  this 
 rule  if  it  does  not  appear  on  the  Commission  list  of  foreign  carriers  that  do  not  qualify  for  the  presumption  that  they  lack  market  power  in  particular  foreign  points.  This  list  is  available  at
