notifying that circuits have been discontinued should be emailed to Circuit.Capacity@fcc.gov. 
We remind that the Filing Manual for Section 43.62 Annual Reports sets forth 
instructions on how to file the reports using Section 43.62 online filing system, including who 
must file, which of the reports to file, the information that each report must contain, and the filing 
procedures. In addition, we clarify an omission in the Filing Manual for Section 43.62 Annual 
Reports. Section 43.62 online filing system will allow reporting of negative numbers for 
International cable capacity as appropriate.  The new Paragraph 21 of the Filing Manual for 
Section 43.62 Annual Reports reads as follows (new clarified language in italics):
“21. Negative Numbers.  File customer revenue without subtracting any 
expenses, allowances for uncollectible accounts or settlement payouts, and without
