and Tariff Requirements, FCC 96-79, released March 13, 1996 (61 Fed.
Reg. 15724 (4/9/96)) (Streamlining Order) This order reduced the information
that applicants are required to submit in support of their international
Section 214 and cable landing license applications. It also modified
the Commision's Section 214 authorization process and simplified the
tariff filings required of nondominant international carriers. Applicants
are advised to review the new rules, which became effective June 13,
1996. These rules are contained in Appendix A to the Commission's order.

Foreign- affiliated Entities Report and Order 11 FCC Rcd 3873 (1995)
(60 Fed. Reg. 67332)(Foreign Carrier Entry Order. An applicant's failure
