FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Chapter I

[ET Docket No. 93-198; FCC 94-345]


Preparation for International Telecommunication Union World Radio 
Conferences

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Order; termination of proceeding.

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

SUMMARY: This Order terminates ET Docket No. 93-198, which the 
Commission initiated to seek public comment to help establish U.S. 
proposals and positions for the 1993 World Radiocommunication 
Conference (WRC-93). WRC-93 concluded in November, 1993. Accordingly, 
this proceeding is no longer necessary. Public input for future WRCs 
will be obtained in IC Docket No. 94-31.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M St. NW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Maura McGowan, Office of Engineering and Technology, (202) 739-0722.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order

    Adopted: December 23, 1994.
    Released: January 18, 1995.
    By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology: 1. By this 
action, the Commission terminates its proceeding initiated to seek 
public comment regarding U.S. proposals and positions for the 1993 
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) World Radio Conference 
(WRC-93).
    2. The 1992 ITU Additional Plenipotentiary Conference (APP) adopted 
a major restructuring of the ITU. Part of the restructuring was a 
recommendation that World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs) 
normally convene every two years, and that a four year conference 
planning cycle be initiated. Thus, each WRC would consider current 
substantive issues, develop a recommended agenda for the next WRC in 
two years, and recommend a preliminary agenda for the following WRC in 
four years. The first of these regularly scheduled conferences, WRC-93, 
convened in Geneva on November 15, 1993.
    3. In preparation for WRC-93, on June 24, 1993, we initiated the 
instant proceeding to seek public comment regarding U.S. proposals and 
positions in Notice of Inquiry, ET Docket No. 93-198, 58 Fed. Reg. 
36630 (7/8/93). On September 17, 1993, the Commission and the National 
Telecommunication and Information Administration jointly 

[[Page 6483]]
forwarded their recommended proposals for the conference to the 
Department of State. No other action has been taken in this proceeding.
    4. WRC-93 adopted recommendations to the ITU's Administrative 
Council for a substantive agenda for WRC-95, and a preliminary agenda 
for WRC-97. Because WRC-93 has concluded, and no further purpose would 
be served by keeping this docket open, we are hereby terminating this 
proceeding. Public comment concerning future World Radicommuniction 
Conferences will be sought in IC Docket No. 94-31.
    5. Accordingly, It Is Ordered That, pursuant to the authority of 
sections 4(i) and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 303(r), this proceeding is terminated.

Federal Communications Commission.
LaVera F. Marshall,
Acting Secretary.
