Sec. 63.22  Facilities-based international common carriers.

    The following conditions apply to authorized facilities-based 
international carriers:
    (a) A carrier authorized under Sec. 63.18(e)(1) may provide 
international facilities-based services to international points for 
which it qualifies for non-dominant regulation as set forth in Sec. 
63.10, except in the following circumstance: If the carrier is, or is 
affiliated with, a foreign carrier in a destination market and the 
Commission has not determined that the foreign carrier lacks market 
power in the destination market (see Sec. 63.10(a)), the carrier shall 
not provide service on that route unless it has received specific 
authority to do so under Sec. 63.18(e)(3).
    (b) The carrier may provide service using half-circuits on any U.S. 
common carrier and non-common carrier facilities that do not appear on 
an exclusion list published by the Commission. Carriers may also use any 
necessary non-U.S.-licensed facilities, including any submarine cable 
systems, that do not appear on the exclusion list. Carriers may not use 
U.S. earth stations to access non-U.S.-licensed satellite systems unless 
the Commission has specifically approved the use of those satellites and 
so indicates on the exclusion list. The exclusion list is available from 
the International Bureau's World Wide Web site at http://www.fcc.gov/ib.
    (c) Specific authority under Sec. 63.18(e)(3) is required for the 
carrier to

provide service using any facilities listed on the exclusion list, to 
provide service between the United States and any country on the 
exclusion list, or to construct, acquire, or operate lines in any new 
major common carrier facility project.
    (d) The carrier may provide international basic switched, private 
line, data, television and business services.
    (e) The carrier shall file annual international circuit status 
reports as required by Sec. 43.82 of this chapter.
    (f) The authority granted under this part is subject to all 
Commission rules and regulations and any conditions or limitations 
stated in the Commission's public notice or order that serves as the 
carrier's Section 214 certificate. See Sec. Sec. 63.12, 63.21 of this 
part.
