SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Unified Agenda of Major and Other Significant Proceedings

    The Commission encourages public participation in the FCC 
rulemaking process. To help keep the public informed of significant 
rulemaking proceedings, the Commission has prepared an agenda of 
important proceedings now in progress. OMB will publish the Unified 
Agenda in the Federal Register in April and October of each year.

    The following terms may be helpful in understanding the status 
of the proceedings included in this report:

    Docket Number - assigned to a proceeding if the Commission has 
issued either a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or a Notice of 
Inquiry in regard to the matter under consideration. Since January 
1, 1978, the Commission has used docket numbers, which consist of 
the last two digits of the calendar year in which the docket was 
established, plus a sequential number, which begins at 1 with the 
first docket initiated during a calendar year (e.g., Docket 80-1 or 
Docket 83-1). The abbreviation for the responsible Bureau usually 
precedes the docket number, as in ``MM Docket 79-164,'' which 
indicates that the responsible Bureau is the Mass Media Bureau. 
When a docket number consists of only five digits (e.g., Docket 
29622), this indicates that the docket was established before 
January 1, 1978.

    Notice of Inquiry (NOI) - issued by the Commission when it is 
seeking information on a broad subject or trying to generate ideas 
on a given topic. A comment period is specified during which all 
interested parties may submit comments.

    Further Notice of Inquiry (FNOI)

    Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) - issued by the Commission 
when it is proposing a specific change to the FCC Rules and 
Regulations. Before any changes are actually made, interested 
parties may submit written comments on the proposals.

    Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM)

    Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) - issued by the Commission 
to deny a petition for rulemaking, conclude an inquiry, modify a 
decision, or deny a petition for reconsideration of a decision.

    Rulemaking (RM) Number - assigned to a proceeding after the 
appropriate Bureau/Office has reviewed a petition for rulemaking 
but before the Commission has taken action on the petition.

    Report and Order (R&O) - issued by the Commission to state a 
new or amended rule or state that the FCC Rules will not be 
changed.

Acting Secretary,
Federal Communications Commission.

Abstract: In this stage of the proceeding, the Commission issued a 
Second Report and Order that modifies FCC rules and regulatory policy 
to enable local telephone companies to participate in the video 
marketplace through video dial tone. The FCC decided that local 
telephone companies may make available to multiple service providers, 
on a non-discriminatory common carrier basis, a basic platform that 
will deliver video programming and other services to end users. Such a 
policy will advance the FCC's goals of creating an advanced 
infrastructure, increasing competition in the video marketplace and 
enhancing the diversity of video services to the American public. The 
FCC also issued a Recommendation to Congress recommending that the 
statutory telephone company-cable television cross-ownership 
restriction be repealed. Further, the Commission solicited comments in 
a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the issue of whether 
the rural exemption to the telephone company-cable television cross-
ownership restrictions should be raised to 10,000 persons. As of 2/1/
94, twenty Section 214 applications have been filed proposing to offer 
video dial tone service. (cont)

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 151; 47 CFR 154; 47 CFR 201 to 205; 47 CFR 403

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission released a Notice of Inquiry on the 
Administration of the North American Numbering Plan on October 29, 
1992, which sought information on several long range issues related to 
the Plan. The NRPM would pertain to who should administer the Plan and 
how it should be administered. The NPRM would also address the issues 
of carrier identification codes and the planned expansion of Feature 
Group D codes to four digits.

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 25

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission seeks to develop a record and to solicit 
comments on the proposed rules. These proposed rules are designed to 
implement recommendations made by the joint industry/government 
Advisory Committee on 2 degree satellite spacing; and they will codify 
basic applications requirements for satellite services. The proposed 
rules would apply to all entities including small entities who seek 
authorization under Part 25 of the Commission's rules to construct and 
operate Fixed-Satellite communications facilities. The proposed rules 
would establish operational and technical procedures designed to 
alleviate adjacent satellite interference and may increase the 
reporting and cost burdens on all satellite licensees. The rules 
codifying basic applications requirements are codifications of existing 
policies, will impose no additional burdens, and may, in fact, reduce 
the burden by eliminating several current requirements. In order to be 
effective, these rules must apply to all licensees and thus there is no 
significant alternative.

Abstract: The Commission will consider the establishment of uniform 
national standards for the delivery of interstate caller ID and 
automatic number identification service. The Commission has tentatively 
concluded that interstate caller ID is in the public interest and that 
a national policy should be adopted on interstate caller ID in order to 
remove undesirable barriers to the efficient entry of the service into 
the marketplace. The NPRM afforded interested parties the opportunity 
to comment.

Abstract: The Commission will consider revising the rate of return 
represcription and enforcement procedures and methodologies set forth 
in Part 65 of its Rules, 47 CFR 65. During the rulemaking, the 
Commission will address alternatives for streamlining the 
represcription and enforcement processes. The Commission will also 
address the potential costs and benefits of reducing the information 
that reregulatees must submit as well as the extent to which less 
burdensome procedures can be reconciled with statutory requirements. 
Quantitative estimates are not possible at this time. The Commission 
will also consider amending Part 69 of the Rules to permit the National 
Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. to collect and file with the 
Commission information needed for the represcription process.

Abstract: The Commission has proposed eliminating the licensing 
requirement for most international receive-only earth stations in the 
Fixed Satellite Service. Earth Stations excluded from this proposal are 
those operating as satellite terminal stations (i.e., those 
operationally connected to a domestic common carrier and used to 
exchange the carrier's common carrier traffic with the Intelsat 
Satellite System). The Commission proposed instituting a voluntary 
registration program for international receive-only earth stations 
seeking interference protection.

4709.  IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 9 OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ACT--
ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF REGULATORY FEES

Significance:
Economically significant: Undetermined
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  47 USC 159

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 1.1101 to 1.1107

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission has adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to 
implement section 9 of the Communications Act, recently enacted by 
Congress and requiring the Commission to recover the costs of certain 
of its activities by assessing and collecting annual regulatory fees 
from the beneficiaries of those activities. The item addresses how to 
implement the new fee requirement without adversely impacting the 
Commission's regulatory activities while insuring that the fees are 
collected in the most cost effective manner possible, and impose little 
or no additional paperwork burden on the public. The Commission is 
considering (1) methods of fee payments from small and large 
regulatees, (2) installment payment procedures, and (3) the standard 
for considering waivers, deferral, and reductions of the required fee. 
The fee program will be implemented and administered at the lowest cost 
possible. The Commission offices responsible for assuring the 
collection of fees will absorb the resource impact. We are discussing 
with the Mellon Bank internal matters relating to the collection of 
these fees.
