                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
        CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
 
PART 61_TARIFFS--Table of Contents
 
                            Subpart A_General
 
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.
