REMINDERS:
Applicants must certify that neither the applicant nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of federal benefits
by federal and/or state courts under authority granted in 21 U.S.C. § 862.  See C.F.R. §§ 1.2001-1.2003.
The Commission's rules applicable to submarine cable landing licenses (47 C.F.R. §§ 1.767, 1.768) are available at
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/td/pf/telecomrules.html.   See also
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edoc_public/attachmatch/DA-02-5981A1.pdf for a March 13, 2002 Public Notice;
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-01-332A1.pdf for the December 14, 2001 Report and Order.
By this notice, we inform the public that submarine cable landing license applications and international section 214
applications that are part of larger transactions involving multiple Commission licenses or authorizations may involve
"extraordinary circumstances" as referenced in Review of Commission Consideration of Applications under the Cable
Landing License Act, Report and Order, 16 FCC Rcd 22167 (2001) and Rules and Policies on Foreign Participation in
the U.S. Telecommunications Market, Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997),
paras. 327-28, Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000).  Additionally, these extraordinary circumstances
may result where Executive Branch agencies petition the Commission to defer decision on certain transactions pending
the resolution of potential national security, law enforcement, foreign policy and trade policy issues.  Accordingly, these
applications may not be acted on within the 90-day review period that the Commission has established as the period of
time normally required to reach a decision on non-streamlined cable landing licenses and international section 214
applications.  This notice shall serve as public notice to applicants that, in these circumstances, additional time may be
required for Commission review and final action.  No additional formal public notice will be provided routinely with
respect to specific applications in the event that the applicable review period extends beyond 90 days.
SCL-MOD-20110524-00020 E
Application for authority to modify the cable landing license for the Pan American Crossing submarine cable (PAC Cable),
SCL-LIC-19981103-00022, SCL-MOD-20020415-00036, for an additional segment extending the existing PAC cable system to Jaco, Costa Rica.
The PAC Cable is a fiber optic submarine cable system extending between: Grover Beach, California; Tijuana, Mexico; Mazatlan, Mexico; Fort
Amador, Panama; Ambush Range, Panama; Puerto Viejo, Venezuela; and St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.  The PAC Cable is operated on a
non-common carrier basis.
In July 2008, without prior Commission approval, PAC Landing Corp., the licensee for the PAC Cable at that time, completed construction of an
additional cable segment branching off of the PAC Cable to a new landing point in Jaca, Costa Rico.  (In a pro forma assignment, the cable
landing license for the PAC Cable was assigned from PAC Landing Corp. to GT Landing II Corp. effective December 31, 2008.  See
SCL-ASG-20090917-00026, DA No. 09-2174, 24 FCC Rcd 12423 (2009).)
The new digital fiber optic segment creates two new fiber paths, each with a design capacity of eight channels at 10 Gbps per fiber pair, enabling
the delivery of twenty-five Synchronous Transport Module One (STM-1) equivalents of bandwidth to the Jaco, Costa Rica landing station.  The
extension uses the existing landing points for the PAC cable system in Mazatlan, Mexico and Fort Amador, Panama to connect with an existing
landing point in Jaco, Costa Rica
Global Crossing International Networks, Ltd., an affiliate of GT Landing II Corp., owns the wet link portion of the Costa Rica segment.  Instituto
Costariccense de Electricidad (ICE), the incumbent telecommunications carrier in Costa Rica, owns and operates the landing station at Jaco.  The
ownership of other segments of the PAC Cable, the wet links and landing points, remained unchanged.
GT Landing II agrees to accept and abide by the reporting requirements set out in section 1.767(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR § 1.767, for
the U.S.-Costa Rica route.
Modification
GT Landing II Corp.
