Washington, DC 20554 Re: Notification, pursuant to Section 1.767(g)(7) of the Commission’s Rules, of a pro forma merger of Hibernia Atlantic U.S. LLC, which holds a submarine cable landing license (File No. SCL-MOD-20020412-00022), into GTT Americas, LLC Dear Ms. Dortch: GTT Americas, LLC (“GTT Americas”) (FRN: 0025319039) and Hibernia Atlantic U.S. LLC (“Hibernia Atlantic”) (FRN: 0014190151), by their attorneys and pursuant to Section 1.767(g)(7) of the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) rules, hereby notify the Commission of a pro forma Merger (“Merger”) of Hibernia Atlantic into its commonly- owned affiliate, GTT Americas. Notice regarding this Merger has not been provided previously to the Commission. 1 GTT Americas is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and has a principal place of business at 7900 Tysons One Place, Suite 1450, McLean, VA 22102. Its telephone number is (703) 442-5500. Hibernia Atlantic was a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Washington and had a principal place of business at 7900 Tysons One Place, Suite 1450, McLean, VA 22102. Prior to the Merger, Hibernia Atlantic held domestic Section 214 authority, global or limited global facilities-based and global or limited global resale international Section 214 authority, and a submarine cable landing license.2 GTT Americas holds domestic Section 214 authority and global or limited global 1 A separate pro forma notice of the Merger is being submitted to the Commission in connection with Hibernia Atlantic’s international Section 214 authority. 2 See File No. ITC-214-20090612-00283 (granted Dec. 11, 2009). Domestic authority was obtained by operation of rule. See 47 C.F.R. §63.01. See File No. SCL-MOD-20020412-00022 (granted July 3, 2002) (modification of the Cable Landing License granted in SCL-LIC-19990804-00012).

KELLEY DRYE & WARREN LLP Ms. Marlene Dortch February 19, 2019 Page Two facilities-based and resale international Section 214 authority.3 Description of the Merger With this filing, GTT Americas notifies the Commission that, in a pro forma intracorporate reorganization effective January 22, 2019, GTT Americas merged with its commonly-owned affiliate, Hibernia Atlantic, and GTT Americas is the surviving entity of the Merger. Post-Merger, GTT Americas holds the submarine cable landing license previously held by Hibernia Atlantic. GTT Americas already holds domestic Section 214 authority and international Section 214 authority. Accordingly, GTT Americas is surrendering, in a separate filing, the international Section 214 authority previously held by Hibernia Atlantic. As a result of the Merger, all other assets and liabilities of Hibernia Atlantic have been assumed by GTT Americas. Prior to the Merger, Hibernia Atlantic and GTT Americas were indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of GTT Communications, Inc. (“GTT Communications”), a publicly-traded and widely-held corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Following the Merger, GTT Americas remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of GTT Communications. Consequently there was no change in ultimate control of Hibernia Atlantic’s international Section 214 authorization or of GTT Americas and the Merger was pro forma pursuant to Commission rules. Diagrams of the pre- and post-Merger corporate structures are provided as Exhibit A. Contact Information Correspondence concerning this filing should be sent to: John J. Heitmann Denise N.
