                COMMON CARRIER BUREAU ANNOUNCES NEW POLICY
                    REGARDING ISSUANCE OF TARIFF ORDERS

     The Common Carrier Bureau has announced that it will no
longer routinely issue Orders to address petitions associated
with tariff filings that are being allowed to take effect without
imposition of an investigation or accounting  or reporting
requirements.  In most cases, the Tariff Division will issue a
public notice listing  the tariff transmittals that are being
allowed to take effect and the petitions to reject or to suspend
and investigate that are being denied.

     The Bureau has concluded that, in most cases, Orders
regarding tariffs that have been allowed to take effect without
suspension or investigation are not necessary.  Moreover,
preparation of such Orders consumes Bureau resources that can be
used more productively to address other pending matters.
