INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING RATES. Concluded
that there is no evidence that the interconnection of end user
private lines at U.S. carriers' central offices has had an
adverse impact on the FCC's international settlement policies
and required any carrier that interconnects an international

arrangements. (CC Docket No. 90-337 by Third NPRM and
Order on Reconsideration [FCC 96-160] adopted April 9,
