The Telecommunications and Analysis Division develops international telecommunications policy, authorizes international telecommunications facilities and services under section 214 of the Communications Act, as amended (the Act), issues submarine cable landing licenses under the Cable Landing License Act of 1921 and Executive Order No. 10530, and provides expertise on foreign ownership issues pursuant to section 310 of the Act. The Division’s focus in developing international telecommunications policy is to achieve low calling rates for U.S. consumers and facilitate competition in the provision of international services. The Division is also responsible for collecting annual circuit capacity data for U.S.-international submarine cable systems under section 43.82 of the Commission's rules. In performing its functions, the Division coordinates international applications and petitions involving foreign ownership with the relevant Executive Branch agencies for any national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, or trade policy concerns. The Division also provides guidance to and shares its expertise within the FCC and with other U.S. agencies.
