March 28, 2019 BY ELECTRONIC FILING Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Partial Pro Forma Assignment of International Section 214 Authorization for the Honotua Submarine Cable System, FCC File Nos. ITC-214-20081008-00453 and ITC-MOD-20180410-00068 Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 214 and 47 C.F.R. § 63.24, ONATI SAS (“ONATI”) (FRN 0028355444), hereby notifies the Commission of the partial pro forma assignment of the international Section 214 authorization for the Honotua submarine cable system connecting French Polynesia and Hawaii, from Office des postes et télécommunications de Polynésie française (“OPT”) (FRN 0015464282) to ONATI. This partial pro forma assignment results from a corporate reorganization of OPT. OPT and ONATI will therefore be authorization holders for the Honotua submarine cable system (and for the associated cable landing license, the subject of a partial pro forma assignment notification filed in parallel with this notification). 1. Background As authorized by recent changes in French Polynesia law, OPT has undertaken a restructuring of its operations to create new French Polynesia operating subsidiaries for its telecommunications, postal, and financial services businesses that will leave OPT itself operating as a holding company. By deed dated December 31, 2018, OPT agreed to delegate to ONATI the provision of telecommunications services in French Polynesia through the operation and use of network infrastructure owned by OPT (including the physical assets of the Honotua submarine cable system, to which OPT will retain legal title). Under the delegation, OPT will also transfer to ONATI the personnel of OPT’s telecommunications business. The delegation has been implemented on a phased basis, with delegation of authority with respect to the Honotua submarine cable system effective as of March 1, 2019. 2. Information Required by 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.18(a)-(d) and (h) and 63.24(f)(2) As required by 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.18(a)-(d) and (h) and 63.24(f)(2)(i), ONATI provides the following information:
