By the Chief, Tariff Division, Common Carrier Bureau:

     1.   On November 20, 1995, Bell Atlantic Network Services, Inc. filed Transmittal
No. 835 to revise its Tariff F.C.C. No. 1.  Transmittal No. 835, which became effective on
January 4, 1996, introduces services permitting its collocated interconnection cross connect
services to interconnect with its exchange access switched multi-megabit data service and its
exchange access frame relay service.  No petitions have been filed against this transmittal.

     2.   Transmittal No. 835 raises the same issues relating to rate levels, rate
structures, and terms and conditions of service as those identified in the Virtual Collocation
Tariff Suspension Order.  Therefore, Transmittal No. 835 will be subject to the investigation
initiated in the Virtual Collocation Tariff Suspension Order.






     3.    Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 205(a) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  205(a), and Section 0.291 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.291, an investigation is instituted into the lawfulness of
the revisions to Bell Atlantic Networks Services, Inc., Tariff F.C.C. No. 1, Transmittal No.
835.
