[Docket No. 931057-4117]
RIN 0693-AA98

 

Approval of Withdrawal of Federal Information Processing Standard 
(FIPS) 71, Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures (ADCCP) and 
FIPS 78, Guideline for Implementing ADCCP

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to announce that the Secretary 
of Commerce has approved the withdrawal of Federal Information 
Processing Standard (FIPS) 71, Advanced Data Communication Control 
Procedures (ADCCP) and FIPS 78, Guideline for Implementing Advanced 
Data Communication Control Procedures (ADCCP).
    On November 16, 1993, notice was published in the Federal Register 
(58 FR 60425) proposing withdrawal of Federal Information Processing 
Standard (FIPS) 71, because the technical specifications that they 
adopt are obsolete and are no longer supported by industry. NIST also 
stated that if FIPS 71 were withdrawn, FIPS 78 would be withdrawn as 
well.
    The written comments submitted by interested parties and other 
material available to the Department relevant to this standard was 
reviewed by NIST. On the basis of this review, NIST recommended that 
the Secretary approved the withdrawal of FIPS 71 and 78, and prepared a 
detailed justification document for the Secretary's review in support 
of that recommendation.
    The detailed justification document which was presented to the 
Secretary is part of the public record and is available for inspection 
and copying in the Department's Central Reference and Records 
Inspection Facility, Room 6020, Herbert C. Hoover Building, 14th Street 
between Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues, NW., Washington, DC 
20230.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This withdrawal is effective on June 22, 1994.
