Ex parte 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. Filings relating to this application must be received within 14 days of this notice.

SCL-ASG-20051025-00027 P PC Landing Corp. Assignment Current Licensee: PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) FROM: PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) TO: PC Landing Corp. Application for consent to assign the non-common carrier submarine cable landing license for Pacific Crossing Cable System (PC-1) (SCL-98-0006, SCL-LIC-19980807-00010) from PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) to the reorganized PC Landing Corp. The PC-1 cable consists of four segments connecting each of its four landing stations: Ajiguara, Japan to Habour Pointe, Washington; Shima, Japan to Grover Beach, California; Ajiguara to Shima; and Habour Pointe to Grover Beach. On July 19, 2002, Pacific Crossing Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiary PC Landing Corp., entered into bankruptcy (see SCL-ASG-20020913-00076). Pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of PC Landing Corp. (Second Amended Plan), filed September 30, 2005, PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) will emerge from bankruptcy and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCL Bermuda. Each holder of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims will convert their debt into equity, receiving a pro rata share of equity in the new PCL Bermuda, and thus ownership in the reorganized PC Landing Corp. Pursuant to the Second Amended Plan, all the property of Pacific Crossing Ltd. (Debtor-in-Possession) and its bankruptcy estate will revest in the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd. Thus the reorganized PC Landing Corp. will own the U.S. cable landing stations, including real property, buildings, and terminal equipment, and will own the U.S. territory portions of PC-1. INFORMATIVE SCL-T/C-20051011-00026 FLAG Telecom Group Limited This application was removed from Streamlined processing pursuant to Section 63.12(c)(4) of the Commission's rules on November 10, 2005. REMINDERS: Applicants must certify that neither the applicant nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of federal benefits by federal and/or state courts under authority granted in 21 U.S.C. § 862. See C.F.R. §§ 1.2001-1.2003. The Commission's rules applicable to submarine cable landing licenses (47 C.F.R. §§ 1.767, 1.768) are available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/td/pf/telecomrules.html. See also http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edoc_public/attachmatch/DA-02-5981A1.pdf for a March 13, 2002 Public Notice; http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-01-332A1.pdf for the December 14, 2001 Report and Order. By this notice, we inform the public that submarine cable landing license applications and international section 214 applications that are part of larger transactions involving multiple Commission licenses or authorizations may involve "extraordinary circumstances" as referenced in Review of Commission Consideration of Applications under the Cable Landing License Act, Report and Order, 16 FCC Rcd 22167 (2001) and Rules and Policies on Foreign Participation in the U.S. Telecommunications Market, Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), paras. 327-28, Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000). Additionally, these extraordinary circumstances may result where Executive Branch agencies petition the Commission to defer decision on certain transactions pending the resolution of potential national security, law enforcement, foreign policy and trade policy issues. Accordingly, these applications may not be acted on within the 90-day review period that the Commission has established as the period of time normally required to reach a decision on non-streamlined cable landing licenses and international section 214 applications. This notice shall serve as public notice to applicants that, in these circumstances, additional time may be required for Commission review and final action. No additional formal public notice will be provided routinely with respect to specific applications in the event that the applicable review period extends beyond 90 days. Page 2 of 2
