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 transmittal 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.
    (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 
transmittal letter with two copies of the proposed tariff pages and all 
attachments, including the supporting information specified in Sec. 
61.38 or Sec. 61.49, as appropriate, to the Secretary, Federal 
Communications Commission. In addition, the issuing carrier must send a 
copy of the publication, supporting information specified in Sec. 61.38 
or Sec. 61.49, as appropriate, and transmittal letter to the commercial 
contractor (at its office on Commission premises), and to the Chief, 
Pricing Policy Division. The latter should be clearly labeled as the 
``Public Reference Copy.'' The copies of supporting information required 
here are in addition to those required by Sec. 61.38(c). The issuing 
carrier must file the copies required by this paragraph so they will be 
received on the same date as the filings in paragraph (a).
