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.

3999.  IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 551 OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS 
ACT OF 1996, PARENTAL CHOICE IN TELEVISION PROGRAMMING

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  PL 104-104, sec 551(e)

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under section 551(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 
(``the 1996 Act''), the Commission must determine, in consultation with 
appropriate public interest groups and interested individuals from the 
private sector, whether: (1) video programming distributors have 
established, within one year of the 1996 Act's enactment, voluntary 
rules for rating video programming that contains sexual, violent, or 
other indecent material about which parents should be informed before 
it is displayed to children: (2) such voluntary rules are acceptable to 
the Commission; and (3) video programming distributors have agreed 
voluntarily to broadcast signals that contain ratings of such 
programming. If the Commission determines that the industry proposal 
fails to satisfy these criteria, the Commission generally must 
establish its own rating system. On January 17, 1997, the National 
Association of Broadcasters, the National Cable Television Association 
and the Motion Picture Association of America submitted a joint 
proposal to the Commission describing a voluntary ratings system for 
video programming. By means of a Public Notice, the Commission has 
invited interested parties to provide comment on whether the industry 
proposal meets the standards set forth in Section 551(e) of the 1996 
Act.

4001. IMPLEMENT OF THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE PORTIONS OF THE 1996 
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  47 USC 151 et seq as amended

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 36; 47 CFR 69

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, March 8, 1996. Final, Statutory, May 
8, 1997. Other, Statutory, November 8, 1996.
Joint Board recommended decision by November 8, 1996.

Abstract: As required by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the 
Commission sought comment on proposals for reforming the Universal 
Service Fund (which gives local exchange carriers with greater than 
average loop costs assistance that helps keep local rates reasonable). 
On November 8, 1996, the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service 
issued a recommended decision on changes to the universal service 
support mechanisms. By May 8, 1997, the Commission, at the direction of 
Congress, will have completed final orders implementing the Universal 
Service portions of the 1996 Act. In addition, on January 10, 1997, the 
Commission issued a NPRM and NOI on changes to the Board of Directors 
of the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA). Among other 
things, NECA administers the universal service fund.

Abstract: The notice seeks comment on four issues. First, how should 
benchmark settlement rates be calculated? Second, how long should the 
transition to benchmark rates last? Should there be a longer transition 
period for developing countries and should additional flexibility 
beyond any transition be provided for countries committed to 
introducing competition? Third, what enforcement mechanisms are 
necessary to ensure carriers make progress in negotiating settlement 
rates within benchmarks? Fourth, can benchmark rates be used to address 
competitive problems in the U.S. international markets?

4068.  NATIONAL TELEVISION OWNERSHIP RULES MM DOCKET NOS. 96-

undetermined.

Unfunded Mandates: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  47 USC 154

CFR Citation:  41 CFR 73

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On November 7, 1996, the Commission released a Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making in MM Docket No. 96-221, 96-222, and 87-8, 
reviewing the Commission's national broadcast television ownership 
rules. Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and entity may 
generally not have an attributable interest in commercial television 
stations with an aggregate national audience reach exceeding 35%. A 
station's audience reach is determined by the number of television 
households in that station's Area of Dominant Influence (ADI), as 
determined by the commercial ratings service Arbitron. The Notice first 
addressed the ``UHF discount,'' by which UHF station is attributed with 
only 50% of the television households in the market, and decided to 
postpone further consideration of whether to modify or repeal the rule 
until 1998 (at which time all ownership rules will undergo a 
statutorily mandated biennial review). Second, the Notice proposed to 
eliminate the satellite exemption to the rule for satellite stations 
that operate in separate markets from their parent stations. However, 
for same-market satellites, the Commission proposed not to double count 
the audience in that market when calculating the parent station's 
national audience reach. Similarly, where one station has a local 
marketing agreement (LMA) with another, the Notice proposed not to 
double count that market. Finally, the Commission proposed to define a 
station's market for the purposes of calculating audience reach by 
using Designated Market Areas (as determined by Nielsen) instead of 
ADI's, because Arbitron no longer updates it county by county 
determinations of each station's ADI.
