33918 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 127 / Monday, July 1, 1996 / Notices

Grant of the application will permit

AT&T to continue to provide improved

service to Cuba, pursuant to the new

service agreement it entered into with

its correspondent in Cuba,

EMTELCUBA, which became effective

upon grant of a previous application.

The Commission has authorized AT&T

to provide service between the United

States and Cuba in accordance with the

provisions of the Cuban Democracy Act.

This will allow AT&T to help meet the

large demand for direct

telecommunications services between

the United States and Cuba. Under the

guidelines established by the

Department of State, AT&T is to submit

reports indicating the numbers of

circuits activated by facility, on or

before June 30, and December 31 of each

year, and on the one-year anniversary of

this notification in the Federal Register.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 17, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Troy

F. Tanner, Attorney, Common Carrier

Bureau, (202) 418–1470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Adopted: June 17, 1996.

Released: June 20, 1996.

1. Upon consideration of the abovecaptioned uncontested application, filed

by American Telephone and Telegraph

Company (AT&T) pursuant to Section

214 of the Communications Act of 1934,

as amended, we find that the present

and future public convenience and

necessity require a grant thereof.

2. Accordingly, it is ordered that

application File No. I–T–C–96–231 is

granted, and AT&T is authorized to:

a. lease from Comsat and operate 24

64-kbps satellite circuits between

appropriately licensed U.S. earth

stations and an appropriate INTELSAT

satellite over the Atlantic Ocean,

connecting with similar circuits

between the satellite and an earth

station in Cuba, furnished by AT&T’s

correspondent;

b. multiplex the circuits authorized in

a., above, through the use of Digital

Circuit Multiplexing Equipment, to

derive up to 120 circuits from the 30

circuits authorized; and

c. use said facilities to provide

AT&T’s regularly authorized services

between the United States and Cuba.

3. It is further ordered that our

authorization of AT&T to provide

private lines as part of its authorized

services is limited to the provision of

such private lines only between the

United States and Cuba— that is, private

lines which originate in the United

States and terminate in Cuba or which

originate in Cuba and terminate in the

United States. In addition, AT&T may

not—and AT&T’s tariffs must state that

its customers may not—connect private

lines provided over these facilities to

the public switched network at either

the U.S. or Cuban end, or both, for the

provision of international switched

basic services, unless authorized to do

so by the Commission upon a finding

that Cuba affords resale opportunities

equivalent to those available under U.S.

law, in accordance with Foreign Carrier

Entry Order, 60 FR 67332, December 29,

1995. The limitations in this paragraph

are subject to the exceptions contained

in Sections 63.01(k)(6)(i) and 63.17 of

the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR

4. It is further ordered that the

applicant shall file the annual reports of

overseas telecommunications traffic

required by Section 43.61 of the

Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR Section

43.61.

5. It is further ordered that the

applicant shall file annual circuit status

reports in accordance with the

requirements set forth in Rules for Filing

of International Circuit Status Reports,

CC Docket No. 93–157, Report and

Order, 10 FCC Rcd 8605 (1995), 60 FR

51366, October 2, 1995.

6. It is further ordered that AT&T

shall split 50/50 with ETESCA the $1.20

per minute accounting rate for the IMTS

services.

7. It is further ordered That the

surcharge agreed to between AT&T and

ETESCA for received collect calls shall

be no greater than $1.00 per call.

8. It is further ordered That AT&T

shall submit reports on or before June

30, and December 31, of each year, and

on the one-year anniversary of the

notification of the grant of this

application in the Federal Register,

indicating the number of circuits

activated by facility.

9. It is further ordered That this

authorization is subject to AT&T’s

obtaining all necessary licenses and

authorizations from the Departments of

Treasury and Commerce.

10. It is further ordered That this

order is subject to revocation without a

hearing in the event the Department of

State or the Federal Communications

Commission determines that the

continuation of communications

between the United States and Cuba is

no longer in the national interest.

11. This order is issued under Section

0.261 of the Commission’s Rules and is

effective June 17, 1996. Petitions for

reconsideration under Section 1.106 or

applications for review under Section

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

Formations of, Acquisitions by, and

Mergers of Bank Holding Companies

The companies listed in this notice

have applied to the Board for approval,

pursuant to the Bank Holding Company

Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841 et seq.)

(BHC Act), Regulation Y (12 CFR Part

225), and all other applicable statutes

and regulations to become a bank

holding company and/or to acquire the

assets or the ownership of, control of, or

the power to vote shares of a bank or

bank holding company and all of the

banks and nonbanking companies

owned by the bank holding company,

including the companies listed below.

The applications listed below, as well

as other related filings required by the

Board, are available for immediate

inspection at the Federal Reserve Bank

indicated. Once the application has

been accepted for processing, it will also

be available for inspection at the offices

of the Board of Governors. Interested

persons may express their views in

writing on the standards enumerated in

the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1842(c)). If the

proposal also involves the acquisition of

a nonbanking company, the review also

includes whether the acquisition of the

nonbanking company complies with the

standards in section 4 of the BHC Act,

including whether the acquisition of the

nonbanking company can ‘‘reasonably

be expected to produce benefits to the

public, such as greater convenience,

increased competition, or gains in

efficiency, that outweigh possible

adverse effects, such as undue

concentration of resources, decreased or

unfair competition, conflicts of

interests, or unsound banking practices’’

(12 U.S.C. 1843). Any request for a

hearing must be accompanied by a

statement of the reasons a written

presentation would not suffice in lieu of

a hearing, identifying specifically any

questions of fact that are in dispute,

summarizing the evidence that would

be presented at a hearing, and indicating

how the party commenting would be

aggrieved by approval of the proposal.
