                 Re: Surrender of International Section 214 Authorizations

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        In order to reduce unnecessary recordkeeping by both the FCC and AT&T, AT&T is
reviewing its files to identify and surrender international Section 214 authorizations that are no
longer required to provide service. The ability to surrender the following international Section
214 authorizations is the result of streamlining changes in Commission rules after those
individual authorizations were granted (e.g., to allow global international Section 214 authority),
or the result of previously—notified retirements of associated facilities. ‘ In no instance does the
surrender of the following international Section 214 authorizations impact the ability to provide
existing services or facilities to customers.

        As the result of this review, AT&T provides notification of the surrender of the following
international Section 214 authorizations by the AT&T affiliates listed as grantees for each
authorization.

Grantee                                 Authorization Number(s)      |Description
                                        and FCC Order
AT&T Corp.                              ITC—214—19880722—            Authorization to acquire, install and operate a
                                        00010 (Previous File No.:    TASI—E terminal to increase capacity for
                                        ITC—88—186)                  previously authorized services between the
                                                                     United States and the United Kingdom in TAT—6

\ See, e.g., Streamlining the International Section 214 Authorization Process and TariffRequirements, 11 FCC Red.

authorized common carrier and non—common carrier facilities and foreign connecting facilities); 1998 Biennial
