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 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.

Acting Secretary,
Federal Communications Commission.

Abstract: The Commission released a NPRM seeking comment on proposed 
regulations clarifying and interpreting the requirements of Section 222 
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act). 
That section, which Section 702 of the Telecommunications Act of 1934 
added to the Communications Act, governs the use of customer 
proprietary network information (CPNI) by telecommunications carriers, 
including the Bell Operating Companies (BOC), American Telephone and 
Telegraph (AT&T), and GTE Corporation (GTE). Under Section 222, 
telecommunications carriers that receive or obtain CPNI by virtue of 
their provision of telecommunications service may use or disclose 
individually identifiable CPNI only to provide the telecommunications 
service from which they derive the information or to provide necessary 
related services, including directory publishing, except in certain

[[Page 63445]]

circumstances specified in the statute. In the NPRM, the Commission 
proposed and invited comment on a regulatory regime that would balance 
consumer privacy and competitive considerations to ensure that 
telecommunications carriers comply with their obligations under Section 
222 to maintain the privacy of CPNI and other customer information. In 
addition, the NPRM stated that the Commission sought comment on whether 
these CPNI requirements should be amended in light of the language and 
goals of the 1996 Act.

Legal Authority:  47 USC 151; 47 USC 154; 47 USC 260; 47 USC 274; 47 
USC 275; 47 USC 303(r)

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 64; 47 CFR 1

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 272 of the 1996 Act required that a BOC provide 
manufacturing activities, the origination of the in-region interLATA 
telecommunications services, and interLATA information services (with 
the exception of electronic publishing and alarm monitoring) through a 
separate affiliate. The 1996 Act also sets forth specific statutory 
requirements for BOC provision of electronic publishing and LEC 
provision of alarm monitoring and Telemessaging services. Pursuant to 
section 274, a BOC that chooses to provide electronic publishing 
services disseminated by means of its or its affiliate's basic 
telephone service must do so either through a ``separate affiliate'' or 
an ``electronic publishing joint venture'' and must comply with certain 
joint marketing restrictions and nondiscrimination requirements. 
Section 275 delays until February 8, 2001, entry into alarm monitoring 
services by a BOC or its affiliate that was not providing this service 
as of November 30, 1995. Although Section 275 does not impose a 
separate affiliate requirement on BOC provision of alarm monitoring 
services, and therefore permits these services to be provided on an 
integrated basis, it establishes nondiscrimination requirements 
applicable to all incumbent LECs. Similarly, Section 260 of the Act 
does not impose separate affiliate requirements but does establish 
certain nondiscrimination requirements on incumbent LEC provision of 
telemessaging services.

Abstract: On March 25, 1996, the Commission released an NPRM seeking 
comment on its proposal that non-dominant interexchange carriers should 
no longer file tariffs. Absent the tariff requirement, long distance 
companies would be free to change prices or offer new services without 
first filing with the Commission. The Commission also initiated a 
review of its regulations of interstate, domestic, interexchange 
telecommunications services, to determine whether and how its policies 
and rules should be changed, consistent with the goals of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act) that provide for a 
procompetitive, deregulatory national telecommunications policy 
framework. The Commission has proposed rules to implement the 
geographic rate averaging and rate integration requirements of the 1996 
Act, and to eliminate its prohibition against the bundling of CPE with 
the provision of interexchange services by non-dominant carriers. The 
Commission has also requested comment on several other issues relating 
to separation requirements and the regulation of contract tariffs. On 
August 7, 1996, the Commission released an Order addressing the Section 
254(g) requirements of the Communications Act.

that: (1) any carrier violating such rules forfeit to the original 
carrier any payments made by the customer whose selection was changed 
without authorization; and (2) the original carrier provide or restore 
to the customer any premiums to which the customer would have been 
entitled. Finally, the FNPRM proposes various procedures for

Abstract: The Commission sought comment on whether to relax the 
dominant carrier regulation that currently applies to region, 
interstate, domestic, interLATA services provided by the BOC's 
affiliates, in light of the 1996 Act, superseding the MFJ's prohibition 
against the BOC's provision of in-region interstate, domestic, 
interLATA services. The Commission tentatively concluded that it should 
apply the same regulatory approach it adopts for a BOC affiliate's 
provision of in-region, interstate, domestic, interLATA service to a 
BOC affiliate's provision of in-region services. In addition, the 
Commission sought comment concerning whether to modify the existing 
rules for regulating the independent LEC's provisions of in-region, 
interstate, interexchange services. The Commission tentatively 
concluded that it should apply the same regulatory approach it adopts 
for an independent LEC's provision of interstate, domestic, 
interexchange services originating within its local service area to an 
independent LEC's provision of international services originating 
within its local service area.

Abstract: On February 14, 1996 the Commission released a NPRM proposing 
a regulatory regime to govern the BOC's provision of all ``out-of-
region'' interstate, interexchange services (including interLATA and 
intraLATA services).On July 1, 1996, the Commission released a Report 
and Order which decided, on an interim basis, to remove dominant 
carrier regulation for BOCs providing out-of-region interLATA services 
through an affiliate meeting certain separate requirements which are 
applied to independent LEC provision of interexchange services. The 
separation requirements are that the affiliate: (1) maintain separate 
books of account from the LEC; (2) not jointly own transmission or 
switching facilities with the LEC; and (3) is using a LEC's tariffed 
services, acquire them via the LEC's tariffs. Under the Report and 
ORder, BOC interexchange affiliates are treated as nonregulated 
affiliates under the Commission's joint cost and affiliate transactions 
rules for the purposes of BOC accounting. This interim measure will 
enable BOCs to begin competing in the interexchange market on a non-
dominant basis and will remain in effect until at least completion of 
the Commission's broader rulemaking proceeding, the Interexchange NPRM.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is 
undetermined.

Unfunded Mandates: This action may affect the private sector under       
    PL 104-4.

Legal Authority:  47 USC 151; 47 USC 154 (i); 47 USC 303; 47 USC 308

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 25.113; 47 CFR 25.115; 47 CFR 25.130; 47 CFR 
25.131; 47 CFR 25.137

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission seeks to develop a record on permitting non-
U.S. satellites to serve the U.S. market if U.S. satellites have 
effective competitive opportunities to provide similar services. In 
general the Commission proposes to allow non-U.S. satellites to serve 
the U.S. if there are no de jure or de facto barriers that prevent U.S. 
satellites from providing analogous services in the home and route 
markets of the U.S. satellite. The Commission proposes to retain the 
licensing requirements for receive-only earth stations in the fixed 
satellite service that communicate with non-U.S. satellites but 
deregulate receive-only earth stations operating with U.S. satellites 
for the reception of signals from foreign countries.

Abstract: In its Report and Order, the Commission removed statutory, 
regulatory, and operational barriers to local telephone services 
competition. The Commission instituted a framework of minimum, national 
rules that will enable the states and itself to begin implementing the 
local competition provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The 
order addressed the three paths of entry into the local telephone 
market enumerated by the Act of 1996. These three paths are full 
facilities based entry, purchasing of unbundled network elements from 
the incumbent

local exchange carrier (LEC), and resale of the incumbent's retail 
services. The Commission prescribed certain minimum points of 
interconnection necessary to permit competing carriers to choose the 
most efficient points at which to interconnect with the incumbent LEC's 
network. It also adopted a minimum list of unbundled network elements 
that incumbent LECs must make available to new entrants, upon request.
