These applications are for authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 214, (a) to transfer control of an authorized carrier or to assign a carrier's existing authorization; and/or (b) to become a facilities-based international common carrier; and/or (c) to become a resale-based international common carrier. Pursuant to Section 63.12 of the rules, these Section 214 applications will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice (see 47 C.F.R. § 1.4 regarding computation of time), and the applicant may commence operations on the 15th day, unless the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days after the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. Communications between outside parties and Commission staff concerning these applications are permitted subject to the Commission's rules for "permit-but-disclose proceedings." See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206. An application can be removed from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff. The filing of comments or a petition to deny will not necessarily result in an application being deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. The petitions for declaratory ruling listed below are (1) for authority under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership benchmark applicable to common carrier radio licensees, or (2) under Section 63.16 of the rules, to add a foreign market to the list of markets for which carriers may provide switched services over private lines. The requested rulings will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice, effective the next day, unless the application is formally opposed or the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days of the date of this public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing. For this purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14 days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal opposition. Copies of all applications listed here are available for public inspection in the FCC Office of Public Affairs Reference and Information Center, located in room CY-A257 at the Portals 2 building, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554. The center can be contacted at (202) 418-0270. All applications listed are subject to further consideration and review, and may be returned and/or dismissed if not found to be in accordance with the Commission's rules, regulations, and other requirements. We request that comments on any of these applications refer to the application file number shown below. Page 1 of 3

ISP-PDR-20020410-00016 P GTE HOLDINGS (PUERTO RICO) LLC Petition for Declaratory Ruling GTE Holdings (Puerto Rico) LLC requests that the Commission find permissible, pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, indirect foreign ownership interests in certain wireless licensees controlled by GTE Holdings. GTE Holdings states that it holds a 52 percent controlling ownership interest in Telecomunicaciones de Puerto Rico, Inc. ("TELPRI"). TELPRI wholly owns the Puerto Rico Telephone Company ("PRTC") and Verizon Wireless Puerto Rico, Inc., which hold various wireless licenses. According to the petition, on June 12, 2001, Verizon Communications Inc. ("Verizon"), which, through various subsidiaries, currently owns approximately 99 percent of GTE Holdings, reorganized the corporate structure through which Verizon holds its interest in GTE Holdings. That corporate structure now includes Verizon International Holdings Ltd ("VIHL"), a Bermuda holding company, which holds 100 percent of the shares of GTE Holdings. As a result, VIHL, through its 100 percent ownership of GTE Holdings, has an indirect 52% controlling interest in PRTC and Verizon Wireless Puerto Rico. GTE Holdings asserts that, because VIHL is chartered in Bermuda, a WTO country, its insertion as an intermediary holding company for Verizon's interest in PRTC and Verizon Wireless Puerto Rico should not raise any public interest concerns under Section 310(b)(4) of the Act and is entitled to a presumption in favor of entry under the Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997).
