          PLEADING CYCLE ESTABLISHED FOR COMMENTS ON AMERITECH'S
         PETITION FOR WAIVER OF PART 69 OF THE COMMISSION'S RULES
       TO PERMIT THE ASSESSMENT OF EUCL CHARGE OF RESELLERS OF LOCAL
                              EXCHANGE SERVICE

                               CCBPol 95-27

                                        Released: December 7, 1995 

     On November 30, 1995 Ameritech filed a petition requesting that the Commission
waive certain provisions of Part 69 of the Commission's Rules related to access charges.

     Specifically, Ameritech requests waivers of the Part 69 Rules in order to assess the
end user common line (EUCL) and the presubscription (PIC) change charge to resellers of
Ameritech's exchange services.  Ameritech states that several states in which Ameritech
provides local exchange service are moving toward expanding local exchange competition. 
Ameritech states that this process will eliminate the resale restrictions in existing residential
local exchange service tariffs or, in some cases, the approval of special resale tariffs with
discounted rates.  

     Ameritech requests waiver of the Part 69 Rules in order to allow Ameritech to bill
End User Common Line (EUCL) charges directly to resellers.  Ameritech states that because
it will not have a direct relationship with end user customers of resellers, it is requesting this
waiver in order to bill the EUCL and PIC charges to the resellers. 
 
     Interested parties should file comments on Ameritech's petition by December 22,
1995 and reply comments by December 29, 1995 with the Secretary, FCC, 1919 M Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.  A copy should also be sent to Janice Myles, Common
Carrier Bureau, FCC, Room 544, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554, and to the
Commission's contractor for public service records duplication: ITS, Inc., 2100 M Street,
N.W., Suite 140, Washington, D.C. 20037.  Parties filing comments in this non-docketed
proceeding should include the Policy Division internal reference number, CCBPol 95-27,
on their pleadings.  Ameritech's petition is available for inspection and copying in the
Industry Analysis Division reference room, Common Carrier Bureau, Room 533, 1919 M
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.  Copies can also be obtained from ITS, Inc. at (202)
857-3800.

     We will treat this proceeding as non-restricted for purposes of the Commission's ex
parte rules.  See generally 47 C.F.R.  1.1200-1.1216.  For further information contact
