The agendas for these meetings

include review and revision of the ICCR

databases, data and information

gathering efforts, possible emission

testing, and potential subcategorization.

An opportunity will be provided at each

meeting for the public to offer

comments and address the Work Group.

Individuals interested in Coordinated

Committee meetings, Work Group

meetings, or any aspect of the ICCR for

that matter, should access the TTN on

a regular basis for information.

Two copies of the ICCR Coordinating

Committee charter are filed with

appropriate committees of Congress and

the Library of Congress and are available

upon request to the Docket (ask for item

#I–B–1). The purpose of the ICCR

Coordinating Committee is to assist EPA

in the development of regulations to

control emissions of air pollutants from

industrial, commercial, and institutional

combustion of fuels and non-hazardous

solid wastes. The Coordinating

Committee will attempt to develop

recommendations for national emission

standards for hazardous air pollutants

(NESHAP) implementing section 112

and solid waste combustion regulations

implementing section 129 of the Act,

and may review and make

recommendations for revising and

developing new source performance

standards (NSPS) under section 111 of

the Act. The recommendations will

cover boilers, process heaters,

industrial/commercial and other

incinerators, stationary internal

combustion engines, and stationary

combustion turbines.

Lists of Coordinating Committee and

Work Group members are available from

the TTN for the purpose of giving the

public the opportunity to contact

members to discuss concerns or

information they would like to bring

forward during the ICCR process.

It is anticipated that the next meeting

of the Coordinating Committee,

following the meeting in September,

will be November 18–19, 1997 in

Houston, Texas.

Dated: August 20, 1997.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[CC Docket No. 87–313, FCC 97–168]

Policy Concerning Rates for Dominant

Carriers

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: On May 30, 1997, the

Commission released a Memorandum

Opinion and Order (‘‘Order’’)

establishing sufficient reporting

requirements for incumbent local

exchange carriers (ILEC’s) to enable the

Commission and the industry to

monitor the service quality provided to

ILEC’s competitors. In the Order, we

addressed the issues raised in the

petitions filed by TCA, ICA, CFA and

the ILECs. We also make modifications

to our service quality and infrastructure

reporting requirements consistent with

the provisions of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996 (‘‘1996

Act’’).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Janice Jamison, Attorney/Advisor,

Accounting and Audits Division,

Common Carrier Bureau, (202) 418–

2290.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 1996

Act requires that ‘‘quality services

should be available at just, reasonable

and affordable rates.’’ It also requires

ILEC’s to make available quality services

to competing local exchange carriers

(CLECs) without discrimination and

with reasonable access to ILEC

networks. Section 259 of the Act directs

ILECs to make available, under certain

conditions, public switched network

infrastructure and other capabilities to

qualifying carriers that are providing

universal service outside the providing

ILEC’s telephone exchange.

Additionally, Section 259 of the 1996

Act directs ILEC’s to make available,

under certain conditions, public

switched network infrastructure and

other capabilities to qualifying carriers

that are providing universal service

outside the area in which the ILEC

providing the support operates. The

Commission recognizes that local

competition will begin through

interconnection, resale, and

infrastructure sharing. These methods

involve facilities and services that

ILEC’s will provide to their competitors.

For competition to flourish, there must

be assurances that competitors receive

the same level of service quality and

facility maintenance that an incumbent

carrier provides itself. A primary

objective of this proceeding is to

establish sufficient reporting

requirements for ILEC’s to enable the

Commission and the industry to

monitor the service quality provided to

ILECs’ competitors. Prior to the

enactment of the 1996 Act, the Common

Carrier Bureau (‘‘Bureau’’) released the

Service Quality Modifications Order. In

that Order, the Bureau deferred

decisions about whether to modify the

Automated Reporting Management

Information System (‘‘ARMIS’’) reports

that the Commission has used to

monitor service quality of, and

infrastructure development by,

mandatory price cap carriers.

Specifically, the Order deferred

decisions on the modifications to

ARMIS Reports 43–05, 43–06, and 43–

07.

ARMIS is an automated system

developed in 1987 for collecting

common carrier financial and operating

information. Additional reports were

added to the ARMIS system in 1991

specifically to monitor service quality

and network infrastructure development

under price cap regulation. Today,

ARMIS consists of ten reports. Two of

these ARMIS reports, the Service

Quality Quarterly Report 43–05 and the

Service Quality Semi-annual Report 43–

06, originally filed four times a year

have become annual filings as required

by section 402(b)(2)(B) of the 1996 Act.

As modified the ARMIS Service Quality

Report (43–05) collects data designed to

capture trends in service quality under

price cap regulation and improves and

standardizes reporting requirements for

this purpose. The ARMIS Service

Quality Report (43–06) collects data

designed to capture trends in service

quality under price cap regulation. The

ARMIS Report (43–07) collects data

designed to capture trends in telephone

industry infrastructure development

under price cap regulation.

Acting Secretary.
