FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[DA 01-2451]


Clarification on Changes in Filing Procedures

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This document clarifies two other notices that were published 
elsewhere in this issue as a result of numerous inquires that the 
Federal Communications Commission (the Commission) received concerning 
changes in the filing procedures.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, FCC, 
(202) 418-0300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is issued as a result of 
inquiries that the Commission has received today about the Public 
Notices issued yesterday announcing changes in filing procedures (DA 
01-2430; DA 01-2436).
    The Commission clarifies that:
     No hand-delivered or messenger-delivered filings will be 
accepted today or tomorrow, October 18 and 19, at either 445 12th 
Street, SW., Washington, DC, or at Capitol Heights, MD. Hand-delivered 
or messenger-delivered filings will be accepted only at our Capitol 
Heights, MD, facility beginning Monday, October 22, 2001.
     The due date for any filings due at the Commission on 
October 18 and October 19, 2001 has been extended to Monday, October 
22, 2001. This extension applies to both paper and electronic filings. 
This determination is consistent with past extensions of time that have 
been granted due to the Commission's early closing for inclement 
weather or other extraordinary situations.
     The procedures for filings stated in DA 01-2430, released 
October 17, 2001, remain in effect. Only the filing location has 
changed. These procedures stated, among other things, that filings 
enclosed in envelopes will not be accepted. Therefore, all hand-
delivered or messenger-delivered filings at the Capitol Heights, MD, 
location will not be accepted for filing if they are enclosed in an 
envelope.
     We remind all parties that the Commission's unique agency 
zip code ``20554'' cannot be used for documents delivered by entities 
such as Federal Express or any other express mail service. In these 
circumstances, you must use the zip code ``20024'' as follows:
    Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20024.
    Filings and other documents sent by United States Postal Service 
should use the ``20554'' zip code.
    The Commission continues to encourage its customers to make full 
use of the Commission's electronic filing systems to facilitate the 
filing of documents.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
