The Commission has received an application from Maritime Tel & Tel Limited (MT&T) under Tariff Notices 622 and 623, dated 17 July 1996, for approval of tariff revisions providing for a restructuring of residence and business single line and business multi-line (Key, PBX, and Centrex) Network Exchange Service (NAS) rates.
