FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 68

[CC Docket No. 99-216; FCC 00-400]


2000 Biennial Regulatory Review of Adopting Technical Criteria 
and Approving Terminal Equipment: Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to final regulations which 
were published at 66 FR 7579, January 24, 2001. The regulations 
privatize the process by which technical criteria are established for 
customer premise equipment (CPE or terminal equipment) that are sold 
for connection to the public switched network, and for the approval of 
such equipment to demonstrate compliance with the relevant technical 
criteria.

DATES: Effective May 25, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John C.K. Hays (202) 418-0875 (not a 
toll-free call).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final regulations that are the subject 
of this correction concern the negotiations between a LEC and a 
building owner to relocate the telecommunications demarcation point(s) 
to the minimum point of entry (MPOE). The regulations require that the 
LEC complete the negotiations within 45 days of the building owner's 
initial request. This requirement was originally adopted in the 
Competitive Networks Report and Order 66 FR 2322, 2335). However, it 
was inadvertently changed in the Part 68 Streamlining Report and Order 
(66 FR 7579, 7592).

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain errors, which may prove 
to be misleading and are in need of clarification.
