 1.  As  directed  by  the  Commission,  1  the  Enforcement  Bureau  has  been  conducting  an 
 informal  investigation  into  whether  further  enforcement  action  is  warranted  against  Global 
 Crossing  Telecommunications,  Inc.  (Global  Crossing)  in  view  of  the  Commission’s 
 determination  that  Global  Crossing  violated  section  276  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as 
 amended  (the  Act),  47  U.  S.  C.  §  276,  and  the  Commission’s  rules  by  failing  to  pay  per-  call 
 compensation  to  certain  payphone  owners. 


 2.  The  Enforcement  Bureau  and  Global  Crossing  have  negotiated  the  terms  of  a  Consent 
 Decree  that  would  terminate  the  Enforcement  Bureau’s  informal  investigation.  A  copy  of  the 
 Consent  Decree  is  attached  hereto  and  incorporated  by  reference. 


 3.  We  have  reviewed  the  terms  of  the  Consent  Decree  and  evaluated  the  facts  before  us. 
 We  believe  that  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  approving  the  Consent  Decree  and 
 terminating  the  investigation.

 Communications  Act,  47  U.  S.  C.  §§  154(  i),  154(  j),  and  503(  b),  and  the  authority  delegated  in 
 section  0.111  and  0.311  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  0.111  and  0.311,  that  the
