the Commission's Secretary at the FCC Headquarters. The Commission 
wants to ensure that all documents are received at the new location by

proper instructions before documents are submitted to the Commission.

DATES: Effective December 28, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please address any questions 
concerning this document to Ginger Weasenforth at 
[email protected] (202) 418-0330 or Geraldine Taylor at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission released a document on 
December 3, 2009, announcing the new filing location for paper 
documents effective December 28, 2009. The Commission's contractor will 
begin receiving hand-delivered and/or messenger-delivered paper filings 
for the Commission's Secretary at the FCC Headquarters building located 
at 445 12th Street, SW., Room TW-A325, Washington, DC 20554.
     The filing hours will be Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 
7 p.m.
     This is the ONLY location where hand-delivered or 
messenger-delivered paper filings for the Commission's Secretary will 
be accepted. Accordingly, the Commission will close the filing location 
at 236 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Suite 110, Washington, DC 20002.
     Originals and copies of each official filing must continue 
to be held together with rubber bands or fasteners. And as usual, 
``stamp and return'' copies will be provided as long as they accompany 
each individual filing. ALL FILINGS MUST BE SUBMITTED WITHOUT 
ENVELOPES. See http://www.fcc.gov/osec/ for further information on 
filing instructions.
     Documents intended to be received by specific staff 
members within the Bureaus and Offices must be clearly labeled on the 
first page of the document or with a cover sheet indicating the 
destination. As appropriate, originals and copies should be held 
together with rubber bands or fasteners.
     Documents sent by overnight mail (other than United States 
Postal Service (USPS) Express Mail) must be addressed to 9300 East 
Hampton Drive, Capitol Heights, MD 20743.
     All USPS First Class Mail, Express Mail and Priority Mail 
should continue to be addressed to FCC Headquarters at 445 12th Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20554. See http://www.fcc.gov/osec/guidelines.html 
for further instruction on FCC filing addresses.
    As the Commission continues to balance its efforts to be accessible 
to its customers with the need for heightened security measures, we 
encourage our customers to take full advantage of the Commission's 
Electronic Comment Filing System to facilitate the filing of applicable 
documents.
    This amendment is made pursuant to Sec.  0.231(b) of the 
Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0231. The Federal Communications Commission 
considers the rule amendments as a matter of agency practice and 
procedure; therefore, compliance with the notice and comment and 
effective date provision of the Administrative Procedure Act is not 
required. Therefore, the Commission will not send a copy of this final 
rule pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 
801(a)(1)(A).
