Assistant Vice President- 1120 20th Street NW Ste. 1000 Senior Legal Counsel Washington, D.C. 20036 Phone: 202.457.3048 Fax: 202.463.8066 E-mail: jjtalbot@att.com March 12, 2018 Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington DC 20554 Attn: International Bureau 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),1 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.
