Management and Budget (``OMB'') before they could become effective. 
These rule sections have been approved by OMB and become effective on 
August 28, 2001.

DATES: Sections 76.1622, 76.1713, and 76.1800 published at 65 FR 53610 
(September 5, 2000) are effective on August 28, 2001.

FCC Rcd 4653 (1999)) was published in the Federal Register at 65 FR

file and notice requirements, and reduced the regulatory burden faced

information collection requirements that required approval from OMB 
before they could become effective. OMB approved the information 
collection requirements on June 7, 2001. See OMB No. 3060-0981. 
Accordingly, Secs. 76.1622, 76.1713, and 76.1800 become effective on

date of those sections.
