Commission Organization

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends the Commission's rules to reflect the 
name change of the Commission's Office of Plans and Policy.

DATES: Effective February 7, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Beth Richards, 202-418-1514.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action was taken by order of the

(DA 03-445) was released on March 5, 2003, and the full text of the 
order is available for public inspection on-line at http://www.fcc.gov 
or in the Reference Center of the Federal Communications Commission,

reflect the expanded emphasis by the Commission's Office of Plans and 
Policy on strategic planning, the Office's name has been changed to the 
Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis. Since this name 
change pertains to agency organization, procedure, and practice, the 
notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act 
contained in 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are not applicable.
