FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 1

[IB Docket No. 00-106, FCC 01-332]


Review of Commission Consideration of Applications Under the 
Cable Landing License Act

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rules; announcement of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This rule announces the effective date of the rule published 
on January 14, 2002. Those rules amended the Commission's rules 
governing streamlined processing for submarine cable landing licenses. 
The Commission adopted measures designed to enable international 
carriers to respond to the demands of the market with minimal 
regulatory oversight and delay, saving time and resources for both the 
industry and government, while preserving the Commission's ability to 
guard against anti-competitive behavior.

DATES: Sections 1.767(a)(7) through (a)(9),(a)(11), (g)(1) through 
(g)(14), (j), (k), (l)(1), (l)(2), (m)(1) through (m)(2), and 1.768(a) 
through (i) published at 67 FR 1615 are effective March 15, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Reitzel, Policy and Facilities 
Branch, Telecommunications Division, International Bureau, (202) 418-
1470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 8, 2001, the Commission adopted 
a report and order establishing streamlining procedures for processing 
applications for submarine cable landing licenses (FCC 01-106), a 
summary of which was published in the Federal Register. See 67 FR 1615 
(January 14, 2002). We stated that the rules were effective on March 
15, 2002, except for those sections containing new information 
collection requirements, which require approval by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). The information collection requirements 
were approved by OMB on February 19, 2002. See OMB No. 3060-0944. This 
publication satisfies our statement that the Commission would publish a 
document announcing the effective date of the rules.
