("Holdings"). . :s part ofan internal corporate restructuring, NSC intends to transfer and consolidate its international operations into NCC. As described below, this assignment involves no change in the management team and ultimate ownership or control of the authorization, and therefore is pro forma. A grant of the reliefrequested herein will enable the Parties to provide international services i The Parties originally filed this STA request with the Commission on September, 29, 1998, and Joanna Lowry ofthe International Bureau subsequently gave oral approval ofNCC‘s STA request. However, the Commission‘s Staff at Mellon Bank inadvertently returned the STA request to us. Therefore, pursuant to the Parties‘ discussions with Claudette Pride, Chief of the Fee Section at the FCC, NCC respectfully requests that the Commission hold the oral approval of NCC‘s STA request with an effective date of October 1, 1998, until Mellon Bank forwards the appropriate paperwork to the International Bureau. Ms. Pride will be personally forwarding NCC‘s STA request and assignment application to Mellon Bank.

Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary October 7, 1998 Page 2 more effectively and efficiently. The officers and directors ofparent corporation (Holdings) will not change, nor will there be a change in the management, operations, or quality of service provided to customers. Thus, the Parties, through NCC, will continue to provide high quality, affordable services. The transaction will simply result in the pro forma assignment of NSC‘s Section 214 authorization to provide international facilities—based and resale telecommunications services to NCC. As such, the transaction will not cause inconvenience or confusion to NSC‘s customers. Indeed, the transaction will be virtually transparent to NSC‘s customersin terms of the services that they receive. Approval of the proforma assignment of NSC‘s Section 214 authority to NCC will permit the Parties to realize significant economic and marketing efficiencies which will enhanceits ability to continue providing high quality, low cost telecommunications services and to compete more effectivelyin the international telecommunications marketplace. The Parties seek the requested STA because exigent business circumstances require the parties to consummate the proposed merger transaction by October 1, 1998. The Parties strongly believe that the merger of NSC with and into NCC will significantly improve the Parties‘ ongoing ability to provide suchservices and meet the expanding needs of its customers. Accordingly, for both immediate and long—range compelling business reasons, the Parties respectfully request an STA to allow NCC to provide international telecommunications service until the Commission grant stamps the underlying proforma assignment application. The Parties acknowledge that a grant of this request will not prejudice action by the Commission on its assignment application and that any authority granted pursuant to this request is subject to cancellation or modification upon notice, but without a hearing. As required by the Commission‘s rules, a filing fee in the amount of $780.00 and an Anti— Drug Abuse Certification for NSC and NCC are included with this STA request.
