 CC  Docket  No.  01-  336 


 Pursuant  to  section  214  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  47  U.  S.  C.  § 
 214,  and  sections  0.91,  0.291  and  63.01  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  0.91,  0.291  and 
 63.01,  the  Common  Carrier  Bureau  (Bureau)  approves  the  application  requesting  Commission 
 consent  to  complete  a  pro  forma  transfer  of  corporate  control  whereby  Grande  Communications,

 This  transfer  of  corporate  control  involves  no  change  to  the  entity  currently  offering 
 telecommunications  services  to  customers,  or  to  the  rates,  terms  and  conditions  of  the  services 
 offered.  1 


 The  Bureau  finds,  upon  consideration  of  the  record,  that  the  proposed  transfer  will  serve 
 the  public  interest,  convenience  and  necessity,  and  therefore  grants  the  requested  authorization. 
 Pursuant  to  section  1.103  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.103,  the  consent  granted 
 herein  is  effective  upon  release  of  this  Public  Notice.  Petitions  for  reconsideration  under  section 
 1.106  or  applications  for  review  under  section  1.115  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §§
