regarding rural high-cost universal service support that were published 
in the Federal Register of Tuesday, June 5, 2001, 66 FR 30080. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
amended the Commission's rules relating to high-cost universal service 
support for rural carriers in response to recommendations of the Rural 
Task Force. Among other things, the amendments added Sec. Sec.  36.602 
and 36.603 to the Commission's rules and provided that, effective July 
1, 2001, Sec. Sec.  36.602 and 36.603 supersede Sec.  36.601(c) of the 
Commission's rules. Section 36.622 of the Commission's rules previously 
contained a reference to Sec.  36.601(c), and additional references to 
Sec. Sec.  36.602 and 36.603 were inadvertently omitted in the final 
rules.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations omit references to rule 
sections that were added, and this omission may be misleading and needs 
to be corrected.
