                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
        CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
 
PART 61_TARIFFS--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart C_General Rules for Nondominant Carriers
 
Sec. 61.20  Method of filing publications.

    (a) Publications sent for filing must be addressed to ''Secretary, 
Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.`` The date on 
which the publication is received by the Secretary of the Commission (or 
the Mail Room where submitted by mail) is considered the official filing 
date.
    (b)(1) In addition, except for issuing carriers filing tariffing 
fees electronically, for all tariff publications requiring fees as set 
forth in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, issuing carriers must submit 
the original of the cover letter (without attachments), FCC Form 159, 
and the appropriate fee to the Mellon Bank, Pittsburgh, PA at the 
address set forth in Sec. 1.1105 of this chapter. Issuing carriers 
submitting tariffing fees electronically should submit the Form 159 and 
the original cover letter to the Secretary of the Commission in lieu of 
the Mellon Bank. The Form 159 should display the Electronic Audit Code 
in the box in the upper left hand corner marked ``reserved.'' Issuing 
carriers should submit these fee materials on the same date as the 
submission in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (2) International carriers must certify in their original cover 
letter that they are authorized under Section 214 of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended, to provide service, and reference the FCC file 
number of that authorization.
    (c) In addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and 
(b) of this section, the issuing carrier must send a copy of the cover 
letter with one 3\1/2\ inch diskette or CD-ROM containing both the 
complete tariff and any attachments, as appropriate, to the Secretary, 
Federal Communications Commission. In addition, the issuing carrier must 
send one diskette or CD-ROM of the complete tariff and a copy of the 
cover letter to the commercial contractor (at its office on Commission 
premises), and to the Chief, Tariff and Pricing Analysis Branch. The 
latter should be clearly labeled as the ``Public Reference Copy.'' The 
issuing carrier should file the copies required by this paragraph so 
they will be received on the same date as the filings in paragraph (a) 
of this section. In cases where the a single diskette or CD-ROM does not 
provide sufficient capacity for the carrier's entire tariff filing, the 
issuing carrier may submit two or more diskettes, or two or more CD-
ROMs, as necessary.
