In this order, we grant Startec Global Operating Company ("Startec") and its affiliate, PCI Communications ("PCI") (collectively "petitioners"), a limited waiver of the authorization and verification requirements of the  X~4Commission's rules and Carrier Change Orders to enable Startec and PCI to change the"~ 0*''((`" preferred carrier of those consumers currently subscribed to GST Telecom Pacific ("GST")  X4from GST to PCI.X5 yOb'ԍStartec has agreed to purchase GST's assets, including their customer accounts. Startec intends to transfer its assets to its affiliate, PCI. PCI provides interstate telecommunication services in the territory of Guam.   X4 2.` ` Section 258 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, makes it unlawful for any telecommunications carrier to "submit or execute a change in a subscriber's selection of a provider of telephone exchange service or telephone toll service except in accordance with such procedures as the  X_4Commission shall prescribe."_5 yO '#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#э#C\  P6QrP##C\  P6QrP#47 U.S.C.  258. The goal of section 258 is to eliminate the practice of "slamming," which is the unauthorized change of a subscriber's preferred carrier. Pursuant to section 258, carriers are absolutely barred from changing a customer's preferred local or long  X 4distance carrier without first complying with the Commission's verification procedures. x5 yOC'#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#э#C\  P6QrP#The Commission's rules and orders clearly contemplate that a switchless reseller may be a customer's preferred carrier. Therefore, changes to a customer's preferred carrier that do not involve a change in the customer's underlying facilitiesbased carrier are nonetheless subject to the Commission's authorization and  {O'verification rules. See Section 258 Order at paras. 145146; WATS International Corp. v. Group Long Distance  {Oe'(USA), Inc., 12 FCC Rcd 1743, 1752 (1997) (citing PIC Change Recon. Order, 8 FCC Rcd at 3218).  In  X 4the recently issued Section 258 Order, the Commission revised its procedures to ensure that carriers obtain the requisite authority prior to changing a customer's carrier. The Commission requires that carriers follow one of the Commission's prescribed verification procedures before  X 4submitting carrier changes on behalf of subscribers." , 5 yO'#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#э#C\  P6QrP#Pursuant to these new procedures, carriers must: (1) obtain the subscriber's written authorization; (2) obtain confirmation from the subscriber via a tollfree number provided exclusively for the purpose of  {O-'confirming orders electronically; or (3) utilize an independent third party to verify the subscriber's order. See 47 C.F.R.  64.1150.  X43.` ` Startec and PCI jointly request a waiver of our verification rules to allow them to transfer GST's subscribers to PCI's customer base without first obtaining each subscriber's  Xd4authorization and verification.Zd5 yO+ '#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#э#C\  P6QrP#On July 15, 1999, Startec and PCI jointly filed a Petition for Waiver of Sections 64.110064.1190 of the Commission's Rules and Request for Expedited Treatment (Waiver Petition). Z Because we conclude that, under the circumstances presented, it is in the public interest to grant the waiver, we grant Startec and PCI's petition subject to the conditions represented in its filing.  X4   X4 "n0*&&(("Ԍ X'F II. DISCUSSION \  X44.` ` Waiver of the Commission's rules is appropriate only if special circumstances  X4warrant a deviation from the general rule, and such a deviation will serve the public interest.5 {O4'#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#э#C\  P6QrP#WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.2d 1153, 1159 (D.C. Cir. 1969). We find that Startec and PCI have made a showing of good cause to grant a waiver of the requirements in the Commission's carrier change rules and orders for those consumers who have authorized GST as their preferred carrier. Startec and PCI have demonstrated that  X_4special circumstances exist that would warrant a waiver. In the Waiver Petition, the petitioners explain that GST is in the process of discontinuing its service in the Territory of Guam, which would leave all of GST's subscribers without service. Startec and PCI, therefore, entered into a Purchase Agreement (Agreement) under which Startec and PCI will  X 4acquire various GST assets, including their customer accounts.  X 45.` ` We also conclude that the petitioners have shown that granting its request is in the public interest. The petitioners state that a grant of this waiver petition will help to ensure that GST's customers are seamlessly transferred to PCI without a disruption in their  X4service. Z5 yO'#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#э#C\  P6QrP#Waiver Petition at 5. The petitioners will notify all of GST's customers that their service will be assumed by PCI and that they will continue to be billed at the same rates and under the same terms and conditions as in GST's tariffs. In addition, Startec and PCI will inform customers that they will not incur any fees in connection with the transaction and that they are free to  X44change long distance service providers if they so choose. 45 yO'ԍ#B7  PT6Q!P##C\  P6QrP#Waiver Petition at 34.#Jz PQ P# Startec and PCI state that after GST's customer accounts are transferred to PCI, customers will receive additional notifications through bill inserts. Furthermore, Startec and PCI will take responsibility to investigate, respond, and attempt to cure any complaints of former GST customers processed after the sale. We conclude that these conditions will adequately protect the rights of GST's customers.  X46.` ` Startec and PCI seek expedited treatment of its Waiver Petition to allow the sale of GST's assets to Startec and PCI to proceed no later than July 24, 1999, when GST's customer accounts will be transferred to Startec and PCI under the Agreement. A prompt grant of this waiver will help to ensure that GST's customers are seamlessly transferred to PCI without any interruption in their long distance service. We conclude, therefore, that it is in the public interest that the petitioners' request for expedited treatment be granted.  "z 0*&&(("Ԍ X'H  III. CONCLUSION AND ORDERING CLAUSES   X4\7.` ` For the foregoing reasons, we grant Startec and PCI's waiver request for the limited purposes described above. The grant of this waiver is conditioned upon their provision of the customer notification and handling of complaints described above and further detailed in its petition.
