Sec.  61.1  Purpose and application.


    (a) The purpose of this part is to prescribe the framework for the 
initial establishment of and subsequent revisions to tariff 
publications.
    (b) Tariff publications filed with the Commission must conform to 
the rules in this part and with Commission rules

regarding the payment of statutory charges (see subpart G of part 1 of 
this title) and the use of FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs) (see subpart 
W of part 1 of this title). Failure to comply with any provisions of 
these rules may be grounds for rejection of the non-complying 
publication, a determination that it is unlawful or other action. Where 
an FRN has been omitted from a cover letter or transmittal accompanying 
a tariff publication filed under this part or the FRN included in that 
letter is invalid, the submitting carrier or carrier representative 
shall have ten (10) business days from the date of filing to amend the 
cover letter or transmittal to include a valid FRN. If within that ten 
(10) business day period, the carrier or carrier representative amends 
the cover letter or transmittal to include a valid FRN, that FRN shall 
be deemed to have been included in the letter as of its original filing 
date. If, after the expiration of the ten (10) business day period, the 
cover letter or transmittal has not been amended to include a valid FRN, 
the related tariff publication may be rejected if it has not yet become 
effective, declared unlawful if it has become effective, or subject to 
other action.
    (c) No carrier required to file tariffs may provide any interstate 
or foreign communication service until every tariff publication for such 
communication service is on file with the Commission and in effect.
