SUMMARY: The Commission's amendments to the international Section 214 
authorization process and tariff requirements, which contained new and 
modified information collection requirements, became effective on June 
13, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The amendments to Secs. 1.767, 61.20, 61.21, 61.22, 
63.01, 63.02, 63.05, 63.10, 63.11, 63.12, 63.13, 63.14, 64.15, 63.17, 
63.18, 63.19, 63.20, and 63.21 became effective on June 13, 1996 (61 FR 
15724 April 9, 1996).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Troy F. Tanner, Chief, Policy and 
Facilities Branch, Telecommunications Division, International Bureau, 
(202) 418-1470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 29, 1996, the Commission adopted 
new rules to streamline the international Section 214 authorization 
process and tariff requirements, a summary of which was published in 
the Federal Register. See 61 FR 15724, April 9, 1996. Because the rules 
and regulations imposed new and modified information collection 
requirements, we stated that ``Sec. 63.23(c) became effective on May 9, 
1996. All other regulations take effect either May 9, 1996 or upon 
approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), whichever occurs 
later.'' We also stated that ``when approval is received, the agency 
will publish a document announcing the effective date.'' The 
information collections were approved by OMB on June 13, 1996. See OMB 
Nos. 3060-0686. This publication satisfies the statement that the 
Commission would publish a document announcing the effective date of 
the rules.
