ORDER GRANTING CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY

NOT ICE is hereby given by the Florida Public Service Commission that the action
discussed herein is preliminary in nature and will become final unless a person whose interests
are substantially affected fi les a petition for a formal proceeding, pursuant to Rule 25-22.029,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
Frontier Tampa Bay FL Fiber 1 LLC ("Frontier Tampa") applied for a Certificate of
Authority to provide telecommunications service, pursuant to Section 364.335, Florida Statutes
(F.S.). Upon review of the application, it appears that Frontier Tampa has sufficient technical ,
financial, and managerial capability to provide such service. Accordingly, we hereby grant to
Frontier Tampa Certificate of Authority No. 8992, which shall authorize Frontier Tampa to
provide telecommunications service throughout the State of Florida.
Telecommunications 	se rvice 	providers are 	required 	to 	comply 	with 	all 	applicable
provisions of Chapter 364, F.S., and Chapter 25-4, F.A.C.
In addition, under Section 364.336, F.S., certificate holders must pay a minimum annual
Regulatory Assessment Fee (RAF) if the certificate was active during any portion of the calendar
year. A RAF Return notice w ill be mailed each December to Frontier Tampa for payment by
January 30th. Neither the cancellation of its certificate nor the failure to receive a RAF Return
notice sha ll relieve Frontier Tampa from its ob li gation to pay its RAF.
If this Order becomes final and effective, it will serve as Frontier Tampa's certificate.
Frontier Tampa shall 	retain 	this 	Order as proof of its certification. 	We are vested 	with
jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 364.335 and 364.336, F.S.
