FCC opens e-filing for all carriers
The FCC on Thursday, June 9, approved online tariff filing for competitive local providers and other nondominant carriers. In the past, only dominant local carriers were allowed to use the Electronic Tariff Filing System (ETFS). Therefore, CLEC’s submitted hundreds of filings each year by paper.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski says the decision will not only streamline efficiencies, “it will also save a lot of trees.”
Once the new rule goes into effect, carriers have 60 days to make their first electronic filing. The new rule will likely become effective later this year.
