WC Docket No. 16-67
On September 12, 2016, the Wireline Competition Bureau released a Public Notice, DA 16-1028, 
in the above captioned proceeding.  This Erratum amends the Public Notice as indicated below:  
In the second paragraph, delete the last two sentences and footnotes 5 and 6 and add a new third

“On September 9, 2016, the Executive Branch Agencies submitted a Petition to Adopt 
Conditions to Authorizations and Licenses (Petition).

  In the Petition, the Executive Branch 
Agencies advise the Commission that they have no objection to the Commission approving the 
authority sought in this proceeding, provided that the Commission “conditions its approval on the 
assurance of U.S. TelePacific Corp. and U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp. (together, TelePacific) 
to abide by the commitments and undertakings set forth in the September 2, 2016 Letter of 
Assurances (LOA).”

  The Department of Justice filed the Petition and LOA in WC Docket No. 
16-67 on September 9, 2016.  The Bureau finds, upon consideration of the record, that grant of 
the Application, subject to compliance with the LOA, will serve the public interest, convenience, 
and necessity.  Consistent with Commission precedent, the Bureau accords the appropriate level 
of deference to the Executive Branch Agencies' expertise on national security and law 
enforcement issues.

  Therefore, pursuant to section 214 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and sections 
0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.91, 0.291, the Bureau hereby grants the 
Application discussed in this Public Notice subject to compliance with the LOA described above.  
A failure to comply with and/or remain in compliance with any of the provisions of the LOA

Rcd 18158 (2000).  In assessing the public interest, the Commission considers the record and accords the 
appropriate level of deference to Executive Branch expertise on national security and law enforcement issues.  See 
Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd at 23919-21, paras. 61-66.

the underlying authorizations terminated without further action on the part of the 
Commission. Failure to meet a condition of this authorization may also result in monetary 
sanctions or other enforcement action by the Commission.”
