SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A summary of the IP-Enabled Services First 
Report and Order was published in the Federal Register on June 29, 
2005, 70 FR 37273. The IP-Enabled Services First Report and Order 
adopted rules requiring providers of interconnected voice over Internet 
Protocol (VoIP) service--meaning VoIP service that allows a user 
generally to receive calls originating from and to terminate calls to 
the public switched telephone network--to supply enhanced 911 
capabilities to all of their customers as a standard feature of the 
service, rather than as an optional enhancement. The summary stated 
that with the exception of rules requiring Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) approval, the rules adopted in the IP-Enabled Services 
First Report and Order would become effective July 29, 2005. With 
regard to rules requiring OMB approval, the Commission stated that it 
would publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the 
effective date of these rules. The information collection requirements 
in Sec.  9.5 have been approved by OMB. In a separate document 
published in this issue, the Commission has announced that OMB has 
approved the information collection requirements adopted in the IP-
Enabled Services First Report and Order. With publication of the 
instant document in the Federal Register, all rules adopted in the IP-
Enabled Services First Report and Order are effective July 29, 2005.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
