For this purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14 days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal opposition. Copies of all applications listed here are available for public inspection in the FCC Office of Public Affairs Reference and Information Center, located in room CY- A257 at the Portals 2 building, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554.

Internet and Telephone, L. L. C. ITC- 214- 20021218- 00583 E International Telecommunications Certificate Global or Limited Global Facilities- Based Service, Global or Limited Global Resale Service Service( s): Application for authority to provide service in accordance with the provisions of section 63.18( e)( 1) - (3) of the Commission's rules, specifically: (1) authority to provide global international facilities- based and resale services between all points in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and all "out- of- region" states, and all permissible foreign points; and (2) authority to provide global international facilities- based and resale services between all points in the states of Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon and South Dakota, and all permissible foreign points, at such time as Qwest Communications International Inc. (Qwest Communications) receives authority to provide in- region, interLATA service for each of these states pursuant to section 271 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U. S. C. § 271. See 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review, Amendment of Parts 43 and 63 of the Commission's Rules, Report and Order, IB Docket No. 00- 231, FCC 02- 154, 17 FCC Rcd 11416 (2002). Pursuant to section 63.10 of the Commission's rules, Applicant requests non- dominant regulatory treatment for all U. S. international routes. This application includes traffic originating in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, and South Dakota, which are the "in- region" states of Qwest Communications. The applicant, Qwest Communications Corporation (QCC), is an indirect, wholly- owned subsidiary of Qwest Communications. On December 23, 2002, the Commission approved Qwest Communications' section 271 application to provide in- region, interLATA services originating in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. See Application By Qwest Communications International Inc. for Authorization to Provide In- Region, InterLATA Services in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, WC Docket No. 02- 314, Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 02- 332, rel. December 23, 2002. Grant of QCC's international section 214 application would authorize it to provide international facilities- based and resale services originating in all "out- of- region" states and in these "in- region" states. QCC acknowledges, however, that grant of its request for authority to provide international services from Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon and South Dakota would be conditioned such that it would be effective for each of these five states only at such time as Qwest Communications receives section 271 authority for each such state.
