Needs and Uses: On April 28, 2017, 

the Commission released the Business 

Data Services Order, WC Docket No. 16– 

143 et al., FCC 17–43, reforming the 

business data services/special access 

regulations for incumbent and 

competitive LECs. The Commission’s 

reforms included replacing the 

application-based pricing flexibility 

rules with a new framework under 

which: (a) Packet-based services, time 

division multiplexing (TDM) services 

with bandwidth greater than 45 mbps, 

and TDM transport services are not 

subject to ex ante pricing regulation; (b) 

a new standard is applied to determine 

the extent to which the Commission 

regulates price cap LECs’ TDM end user 

channel terminations with bandwidth 

less than 45 mbps and certain other low 

bandwidth business data services. 

Under this standard, a price cap LEC is 

not subject to ex ante pricing regulation 

in the provision of these services in 

counties deemed competitive under the 

Commission’s competitive market test 

or for which the price cap LEC 

previously obtained Phase II pricing 

flexibility; (c) the price cap LEC is 

subject to ex ante pricing regulation in 

other counties where it is the incumbent 

LEC, but in these counties the price cap 

LEC has downward pricing flexibility 

(i.e., the equivalent of Phase I pricing

43236 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 177 / Thursday, September 14, 2017 / Notices 

flexibility under the prior rules); and (d) 

the Commission will update the 

competitive market test results every 

three years using data already collected 

in FCC Form 477. 

Among other rules changes, the 

Business Data Services Report and 

Order repealed section 1.774, which set 

forth requirements for pricing flexibility 

applications, and added section 1.776, 

which limits the circumstances under 

which price cap LECs must file their 

business data services contracts as 

contract-based tariffs. The Commission 

also amended section 69.701 of its rules 

to specify that its pricing flexibility 

rules no longer apply to business data 

services.
