Attachment 1 FCC Form 214 Page 3 of 3 ANSWER TO QUESTION 13 The present filing is a notification of pro forma assignment of the International Section 214 authorization held by Horry Telephone Long Distance (“HTLD”) to its parent company Horry Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (“HTCI”). Effective January 1, 2011 all assets held by the wholly owned subsidiaries of HTCI were transferred to HTCI and the subsidiaries were dissolved. Section 63.24(d) of the Commission’s Rules provides, in relevant part, as follows: Transfers of control or assignments that do not result in a change in the actual controlling party are considered non-substantial or pro forma. . . . The types of transactions listed in Note 2 to this paragraph (d) shall be considered presumptively pro forma and prior approval from the Commission need not be sought. 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(d). As indicated in Note 2 that accompanies that paragraph, an “[a]ssignment or transfer from a corporation to a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary thereof or vice versa” is presumptively pro forma and prior approval need not be sought. HTCI requests a waiver of the Section 63.24(f)(2) of the Commission’s rules that requires a post consummation notification of a pro forma assignment to be filed within 30 days after the transaction is completed. The International 214 authorization that is the subject of this application was granted nearly 20 years ago and apparently was never entered into the Commission’s IBFS system until several days ago, after HTCI’s representatives contacted the Commission’s technical staff about the matter. The delay in identifying the proper file number for the International 214 authorization (which was not linked to the FRN numbers of HTLD, HTCI or any affiliate) and in getting the authorization entered into the IBFS system so this application could be filed justifies a waiver from strict application of the 30-day requirement in this instance.
