The Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) has removed this application from streamlined 
treatment pursuant to the Commission’s procedures for domestic section 214 transfer of control 
applications.1  Section 63.03(c)(1)(v) of the Commission’s rules provides that, at any time after an 
application is filed, the Commission, acting through the Chief of WCB, may notify an applicant that its 
application is being removed from streamlined processing where the Commission “determines that the 
application requires further analysis to determine whether a proposed transfer of control would serve the 
public interest.”2  
Domestic Section 214 Application Filed for the Transfer of Control of USCarrier Telecom 
Holdings, LLC and USCarrier Telecom, LLC to American Fiber Systems, Inc., WC Docket No. 
08-1 (filed Dec. 26, 2007).
On March 11, 2008, the Commission released a public notice accepting for streamlined 
processing the domestic section 214 application to transfer control of USCarrier Telecom Holdings, LLC 
and USCarrier Telecom, LLC to American Fiber Systems, Inc.3  On March  14, 2008, the Department of 
Justice, together with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (collectively, the Executive Branch Agencies), 
filed a letter requesting that the Commission defer grant of this application while the Executive Branch 
Agencies address potential national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues.4  
This application is being removed from streamlined review in response to the request filed by the 
Executive Branch Agencies. Final action on this application should be expected once the Commission 
has received notification from the Executive Branch Agencies that the evaluation has been completed, but 
not later than 180 days from public notice that the application was accepted for filing.5
