Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Surrender of International Section 214 Authorizations and Notification of Provision of International Telecommunications Services Through Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of Level 3 Communications, LLC Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 63.21(h) of the Commission’s rules, six wholly-owned subsidiaries of Level 3 Communications, LLC (“Level 3”) surrender their international Section 214 authorizations and notify the Commission of their reliance on the international Section 214 authorization of their parent company. Between 2005 and 2007, Level 3 and its direct and indirect parent companies consummated a number of corporate acquisitions resulting in its ownership of a variety of entities holding international Section 214 authorizations. These authorizations are duplicative of the global facilities-based and global resale authority in the international Section 214 authorization held by Level 3. To reduce the administrative burden associated with its Commission authorizations, these six subsidiaries are surrendering their international Section 214 authorizations, as detailed in Table 1 below. Instead, they will provide international telecommunications services in reliance on the international Section 214 authorization of Level 3, FCC File No. ITC-214-19971229-

HARRIS, WILTSHIRE & GRANNIS LLP Ms. Marlene Dortch Federal Communications Commission 14 July 2008 Page 2 of 3 00821 (Old FCC File No. ITC-98-016).1 Consistent with the requirements of Section 63.21(h) of the Commission’s rules, these six subsidiaries are entitled to rely on the international Section 214 authorization of Level 3. Neither Level 3 nor any of these six subsidiaries is regulated as dominant for a particular route. Each of the six subsidiaries will commence service in reliance on Level 3’s international Section 214 authorization as of the date of this surrender notice.

At no time will any of these subsidiaries provide international telecommunications services without Commission authority—whether issued in the name of each subsidiary pre-surrender and in reliance on Level 3’s authorization post-relinquishment. 1 An affiliate of Level 3, Level 3 International, Inc., will continue to provide international telecommunications services in reliance on its own international Section 214 authorization, FCC File No. ITC-214-19981214-00867. Level 3 International, Inc., is not surrendering this authorization.
