       RE:     Notification of Pro Forma Transfer of Control of Cable Landing License, FCC
               File No. FCC File No. SCL-LIC-19980429-00019

        Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(g)(7), Global Crossing Americas Solutions, Inc. (“GCAS,”
FRN 0003755709), hereby notifies the Commission of a pro forma transfer of control of a joint
interest in the above-referenced cable landing license for the Americas-II submarine cable
system. 1

        GCAS is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Level 3 Communications, Inc. (“Level 3
Parent”), as it has been since Level 3 Parent acquired Global Crossing Limited in 2011 following
Commission review and consent. 2 Subsequent to that acquisition, Level 3 Parent undertook an
internal reorganization process involving indirect parent entities of GCAS in order to simplify
the ownership structure of Level 3 Parent’s holding and operating companies and to discharge
the debt of Global Crossing Limited. This reorganization included the following steps:

       (1) Level 3 Parent contributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of Level 3 GCL to
           Level 3 Financing, in a transaction consummated on October 4, 2011, and

       (2) Level 3 Financing caused the merger of Global Crossing Holdings Limited into Level
           3 GCL, with Level 3 GCL surviving, in a transaction consummated on December 31,
           2012.
