Label your response "Answer to Question 10".


11. Does any entity, directly or indirectly, own at least ten (10) percent of the equity of the assignee/transferee as                    Yes
determined by successive multiplication in the manner specified in the note to Section 63.18(h) of the rules?
                                                                                                                               No

If you answered "Yes" to this question, provide in Attachment 1, the name, address, citizenship, and principal

    13. Provide in Attachment 1 a narrative of the means by which the proposed assignment or transfer of control will

    continue to hold the international section 214 authorizations that it specifies in response to this question. The ITC−
    ASG File No. that the Commission assigns to this application will, when granted, constitute Commission
    authorization of the proposed assignment of assets and /or customers from the assignor to the assignee. Unless
    Commission grant of the assignment application specifies otherwise, the assignee may provide the same services
    on the same routes as permitted under the assignor’s Section 214 authorization(s), and the assignee may provide
    such service to any customers it may obtain in the ordinary course of business.
