NOTICE OF PROPOSED AGENCY ACTION

FPL Energy Services, Inc. (FPL Energy Services) applied for a Certifica te of Authority to
provide telecommunications se rvice, pursuant to Section 364.335, Florida Statutes (F.S .). Upon
review of the application, it appears that FPL Energy Services has sufficient technical, financial,

Services Certificate of Authority No. 8988, which shall authorize FPL Energy Services to
provide telecommunications service throughout the State of Florida.
Telecommunications 	service 	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 will be mailed each December to FPL En ergy Services for payment
by January 30th. Neither the cancellation of its certificate nor the failure to receive a RAF Return
notice shall relieve FPL Energy Services from its obligation to pay its RAF.
If thi s Order becomes final 	and effective, it will 	serve as FPL E ner gy Services'
certificate. FPL Energy Services shall retain this Order as proof of its certification. We are vested
with juri sdiction over this matter pur suant to Sections 364.335 and 364.336, F.S.
