Text: 30 The ENFIA Agreement apparently worked satisfactorily during Phase I, which was scheduled to expire early in 1982 unless the agreed tariff was extended by action of the FCC. As the end of Phase I approached, MCI renewed its claim of discrimination with respect to the rates paid by other AT & T customers for the same type of local exchange access provided to MCI. 10 To prepare for the possibility that the ENFIA Agreement would not be extended, AT & T filed, in January 1982, a new contingent tariff (BSOC 10) for the OCC access service that the Bell Operating Companies had been providing under the ENFIA Agreement. This tariff was scheduled to take effect on April 16, 1982 if the FCC failed to continue the ENFIA Agreement. Because of the interrelationship between the issues raised by BSOC 10 and the continuation question, the FCC called for simultaneous pleadings on both matters and established a filing schedule designed to enable it to act on these matters by April 16, 1982.
