    6. Section 63.24 is amended by revising paragraph (b) to read as 
follows:


Sec. 63.24  Pro forma assignments and transfers of control.

* * * * *
    (b) A pro forma assignment or transfer of control of an 
authorization to provide international telecommunications service is 
not subject to the requirements of Sec. 63.18. A pro forma assignee or 
a carrier that is the subject of a pro forma transfer of control is not 
required to seek prior Commission approval for the transaction. A pro 
forma assignee must notify the Commission no later than 30 days after 
the assignment is consummated. The notification may be in the form of a 
letter (in duplicate to the Secretary), and it must contain a 
certification that the assignment was pro forma as defined in paragraph 
(a) of this section and, together with all previous pro forma 
transactions, does not result in a change of the carrier's ultimate 
control. A single letter may be filed for an assignment of more than 
one authorization if each authorization is identified by the file 
number under which it was granted.

    7. Section 63.52 is amended by revising the section heading to read 
as follows:


Sec. 63.52  Copies required; fees; and filing periods for domestic 
authorizations.
