7. Request for Treatment as a Non-Dominant Interexchange Carrier and Exemption from Specific Provisions of Pub. Util. Code § 851

CBC requests that, in connection with its authorization as a competitive

local exchange carrier (CLC), it be accorded the same streamlined regulatory treatment previously accorded to other CLCs, and non-dominant interexchange carrier treatment, which would include exemption from the requirements of Pub. Util. Code §§ 816-830 concerning stocks and security and § 851 concerning the encumbrance and transfer of CBC property. The Commission detailed its rules regarding exemption of non-dominant carriers in D.85-01-008, and subsequently modified in D.85-07-081 and D.85-11-044. We grant CBC's request for non-dominant carrier status, provided that they follow all rules detailed in the above referenced decisions.
