ACTION: Notice of Publication.

SUMMARY: Federal Telecommunications Recommendation (FTR) 1090-1997, 
``Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard'' was 
approved for publication on August 11, 1997. This recommendation 
specifies minimum requirements for telecommunications cabling within a 
building and between buildings in a campus environment. The 
specifications provide for a cabling system with a recommended topology 
and recommended distances, for copper and optical-fiber transmission 
media by parameters that determine performance, and for connectors and 
their pin assignments to ensure interconnectability. This 
recommendation is based on ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-1995, which replaces 
ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-1991 (FIPS PUB 174).
