FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


FCC Office of the Secretary Relocates To The Portals; Procedure 
for Paper Filings

October 23, 1998.
    Effective November 2, 1998, the Office of the Secretary will 
relocate to the Commission's new building facilities at The Portals, 
445 Twelfth Street, S.W., Washington, D.C., 20554. The Secretary's new 
office will be open for business, as usual, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 
p.m., Mondays through Fridays, except holidays. Paper filings will be 
received at a designated counter located at TW-A325 in the 12th Street 
lobby of the building, where filers will be able to receive their 
``stamp and return'' copy, upon request.
    The Commission expects to complete its relocation to The Portals 
within the next six months. For the public's convenience during this 
transition period, the Office of the Secretary will accept paper 
filings at 1919 M Street, N.W., Room 222, but only between the hours of 
4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, except holidays. If 
requested, ``stamp and return'' copies will be provided at the time of 
filing. This temporary filing site will be closed on the date that the 
Commission completes its relocation to The Portals.
    The Commission encourages those wishing to file paper documents to 
begin making these filings at the Portals building. In addition, to 
ensure the expeditious receipt and distribution of paper filings during 
the transition period, the public should follow the established 
``Guidelines for Uniform Filings.'' These guidelines are printed below.
    Please forward any questions to Magalie Roman Salas, FCC Secretary; 
Bill Caton, Deputy Secretary; or Ruth Dancey, Assistant Secretary, at 
202-418-0300.

Guidelines for Uniform Filings

    To enable the staff of the Office of the Secretary to provide the 
most efficient service to you, please follow these guidelines in 
preparing and submitting ``uniform'' filings.
    a. Your filing package should be properly fastened and consist of 
an original document and the proper number of copies. If your filing is 
``self-explanatory,'' no cover letter is required.

    Note: For filings containing more than one docket number, please 
submit two (2) additional copies for each docket number listed.

    b. To obtain a ``stamp and return'' copy, place an extra copy of 
either the cover letter or the filing on top of your package. This copy 
will be returned to you.
    c. Confidential filings should be clearly marked ``CONFIDENTIAL,'' 
``NOT FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION'' and placed in a separate envelope.
    d. Ex parte documents should be clearly labeled ``EX PARTE''.
    e. Always include a contact name, address and telephone number.
    f. Finally, bring your filing to the designated filing counter at 
the Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, 12th Street 
Lobby, TW-A325, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, except legal holidays. Your filing package should be 
``ready for submission''--collated, signed, and properly fastened.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
