INTERNATIONAL BUREAU ANNOUNCES THAT SECTION 43.62 INTERNATIONAL 
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ARE EFFECTIVE AS OF FEBRUARY 11, 2015
IB Docket No. 04-112
In 2013, the Commission released the Second Report and Order in this proceeding, 
revising the annual reporting requirements for U.S. providers of international services and 
circuits.
1
  On February 11, 2015, the rule changes adopted in the Second Report and Order went 
into effect.
2
  
International service providers and circuit capacity holders shall now file the annual 
international traffic and revenue reports and circuit capacity reports pursuant to the requirements 
of section 43.62.
3
  The Second Report and Order delegated authority to the International Bureau 
to publish a filing manual with instructions and reporting requirements for the filing of the annual 
traffic and revenue and circuit capacity reports.
4
  We are separately releasing the Filing Manual,
5
which provides directions including data specifications for completing the traffic and revenue 
report and the circuit capacity report.  The Filing Manual sets forth instructions on how to file the 
reports, including who must file, which of the reports to file, the information that each report 
must contain, and the filing procedures.
The Commission is developing a new electronic filing system (Part 43 online filing 
system) for the annual reports pursuant to section 43.62.  The Part 43 online filing system is not 
yet open to accept the circuit capacity reports.  We will release a separate public notice 
announcing the filing date for the annual circuit capacity reports and how to file the data 
electronically using the Part 43 online filing system.
