 AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") has filed a motion for the Commission to grant confidential

tariffed components price.  AT&T states that this data represents competively-sensitive
proprietary information that is exempt from disclosure under Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the
Commission's Rules.  AT&T requests that it only be required to give access to parties of
record in this proceeding pursuant to the terms of a Confidentiality Agreement that it has
attached to its motion.  AT&T would make these documents available for inspection pursuant
to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement at the premises of AT&T, 10th Floor, North
Tower, 1120 20th Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20036, Monday through Friday, between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5 p.m.  AT&T asserts that grant of its motion will serve the public
interest by allowing full development of the record in the Settlement Rate Benchmarks
Proceeding while protecting the proprietary commercial information of AT&T.
