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.

Regulatory Plan

    For this edition of FCC's regulatory agenda, the most important 
regulatory actions are included in The Regulatory Plan, which 
appears in Part II of this issue of the Federal Register. The 
Regulatory Plan entries are listed in the Table of Contents and are 
denoted by a bracketed bold reference, which directs the reader to 
the appropriate Sequence Number in Part II.

    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 concerning the matter under consideration. The Commission 
has used docket numbers since January 1, 1978. Docket numbers 
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. A docket number consisting of only five digits (e.g., 
Docket 29622) 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.

William F. Caton,

Acting Secretary,
Federal Communications Commission.

Abstract: Action seeks comment on proposals for reforming the Universal 
Service Fund (which gives local exchange carriers with greater-then-
average costs in the local loop assistance that helps keep local rates 
reasonable) and the Dial Equipment Minutes Weighting Program (which 
helps very small local exchange carriers cover their local switching 
costs). The proposals concern several approaches to these assistance 
mechanisms for promoting universal service. The Notice refers the 
proposed changes to the Federal-State Joint Board in this proceeding 
for a recommended decision.

Abstract: The Commission adopted a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
seeking comments on a wide variety of policy and technical issues 
concerning the portability of telephone numbers. Number portability is 
the ability of end users to retain their telephone numbers when they 
switch to a new service provider, a new location, or a new service. 
Through this NPRM, the Commission is examining the overall benefits, 
technical feasibility, and implementation costs of number portability 
in its various forms.

Abstract: The Commission seeks to adopt rules governing the entry of 
foreign carriers into the U.S. international facilities-based service 
marketplace. The Commission proposes to add as an additional public 
interest factor in examining Section 214 applications from foreign-
affiliated carriers whether there is, or will be, effective market 
access available in the foreign carrier's primary markets for U.S. 
carriers to provide services similar to those the foreign carrier seeks 
to provide in the U.S. The Commission also proposes a specified level 
of foreign carrier ownership in a U.S. carrier at which the proposed 
entry standard would apply. The Commission asks whether it should adopt 
effective market access as an element of Section 310(b)(4) public 
interest analysis.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission seeks to develop a record and to solicit 
comments on the proposed policies. The proposed policies are designed 
to ensure that sufficient spectrum is available to operate a viable and 
independent U.S. licensed mobile satellite service system in the L-
band. The proposed policies, to the extent possible, also seek to make 
any additional spectrum coordinated internationally available for 
mobile-satellite service systems. The proposed policies impose no 
additional burdens. In order to be effective, these rules must apply to 
all licenses and thus there is no significant alternative.

Legal Authority:  47 USC 154; 47 USC 303(r); 47 USC 721(c)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission proposes to eliminate the distinction between 
the transborder policy and separate international satellite policy and 
to treat all U.S. licensed geostationary fixed satellites under a 
single regulatory scheme. As a result, all U.S. licensed fixed 
satellites will be permitted to provide domestic and international 
services on a co-primary basis. The proposed action is expected to 
increase competition in fixed satellite services by increasing the 
amount of satellite capacity available for both domestic and 
international services and eliminate regulations that impair business' 
ability to meet their customers' needs.

Abstract: The Commission seeks to adopt a sharing plan for satellite

negotiated rulemaking conducted in 1994, the parties could not reach a 
consensus regarding the sharing of this band. In this proceeding, the 
Commission will adopt licensing policies and procedures, and other 
qualification requirements, so that the Local Multipoint Distribution 
Services, Fixed-Satellite Services, and feeder links for Mobile 
Satellite Systems can all be accommodated within the 27.5-29.5 GHz 
band. The action will permit a variety of innovative communication 
services to be made available to the public.

television programming for children.'' The CTA directs the Commission 
to review, in any application for license renewal, whether a television 
broadcast licensee has ``served the educational needs of children 
through the licensee's overall programming specifically designed to 
serve such needs.''
The Commission adopted rules implementing the CTA in 1991. In 1993, the 
Commission initiated this proceeding by adopting a Notice of Inquiry to 
examine whether its rules should be revised to identify more clearly 
the levels and types of programming necessary adequately to serve 
children's educational needs. Based on an informal review of more than 
320 license renewal applications, we did not believe that the level of 
educational programming performance was consistent with the CTA's long-
term objectives, and concluded this fact might be largely attributale 
to broadcasters' uncertainty regarding the scope of their obligation. 
In June 1994, we also convened an en banc hearing on the subject of 
children's television programming.
Based on comments responding to the Notice of Inquiry and submitted in 
conjunction with the en banc hearing, the Commission adopted a Notice 
of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) in April 1995 to propose changes to its 
rules. These proposals are designed to improve the information 
available to parents and the local community regarding educational 
television programming, and to revise our definition of ``educational 
and informational'' programming to give licensees clearer guidance 
regarding the types of programming required by the CTA. In addition, 
the Commission is evaluating other options, including monitoring 
broadcaster performance, establishing a safe-harbor processing 
guideline or a programming standard, and allowing stations to meet a 
quantitative guideline or standard by sponsoring programs shown on 
other stations.

Abstract: These three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRMs) form a 
reexamination of the Commission's rules governing the relationship 
between broadcast television networks and their affiliates. There are 
eight rules consideration in these three proceedings.
The first NPRM considers changes to the requirement that stations file 
their network affiliation agreements with the Commission
The second NPRM considers changes to five rules that regulate network/
affiliate programming practices. The first rule requires an affiliate 
to be able to reject programming. The second rule prohibits networks 
from optioning an affiliate's time. The third rule prohibits a station 
from affiliating exclusively with a network. The fourth rule prohibits 
a station from having exclusive rights to network programming. The 
fifth rule prohibits a station from affiliating with an entity that 
operates more than one network.
The third NPRM considers changes to two rules regulating broadcast 
television advertising. The first advertising rule prohibits a 
broadcast television network from influencing or controlling the rates 
its affiliates set for the sale of their non-network advertising time. 
The second advertising rule prohibits a broadcast television network 
form representing any of its affiliates in the sale of nonnetwork 
advertising time.
The basic purpose in each of these proceedings is to address whether 
the rules under consideration continue to promote the public interest 
in light of changes in the video marketplace. As a result, these 
proceedings ask questions with a view to either modifying or 
eliminating the rules if changes in the video marketplace warrant them.

Abstract: This proceeding considers changes to the Commission's rules 
governing the ownership of television stations and the joint ownership 
of television and radio stations. There are five basic issues 
considered in the proceeding. First, how many television stations 
should an entity be allowed to own across the nation. Second, how many 
television stations should an entity be allowed to own within a given 
``market.'' Third, how should the commission count satellite stations 
for the purposes of applying the national ownership limits. Fourth, 
should an entity be allowed to own both radio and television stations 
within a given ``market.'' And fifth, should the holder of a leased 
marketing agreement with another station be considered to have an 
attributal interest in that station. In addressing these basic issues, 
the proceeding must also resolve what constitutes a station's 
``market'' for the purposes of applying the different ownership rules, 
and how should UHF and VHF stations be counted.

Abstract: By this NPRM, the Commission proposes to establish final

that will apply to PCS license applicants who have successfully bid for 
spectrum or have filed applications that are determined not to be 
mutually exclusive with any other application, and are therefore, not 
subject to competitive bidding. Within this scope, we propose rules to 
govern the ``long-form'' application process, initial licensing, 
construction, operation and technical requirements, unused-spectrum 
recovery, unserved-area licensing procedures, assignments and 
transfers, and license renewal procedures.
