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 No. 80-1 or Docket No. 83-1). The abbreviation for the 
responsible Bureau usually precedes the docket number, as in ``MM 
Docket No. 79-164,'' which indicates that the responsible Bureau is 
the Mass Media Bureau. A docket number consisting of only five 
digits (e.g., Docket No. 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.

    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.

Secretary,
Federal Communications Commission.

Abstract: Section 614(b)(4)(B) of the Communications Act requires that, 
at the time the Commission prescribes standards for advanced 
television, it should ``initiate a proceeding to establish any changes 
in the signal carriage requirements of cable television systems 
necessary to ensure cable carriage of such broadcast signals of local 
commercial television stations which have been changed to conform with 
such modified standards.'' This NPRM is issued pursuant to the 
requirements of that Section.

4099. 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:  Not yet determined

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. Pursuant to the 1996 Act, the National 
Association Of Broadcasters, the National Cable Television Association, 
and the Motion Picture Association of America (``the Industry'') 
jointly developed a rating system of voluntary parental guidelines 
adopted and currently being implemented by television broadcasters and 
networks, cable networks and systems, and television program producers. 
Details were submitted to the Commission on January 17, 1997, within 
the one year period, with revisions filed on August 1, 1997.

Abstract: On January 30, 1998, the FCC released a Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (FNRPM) proposing to streamline the safeguards 
under which the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) provide information (or 
enhanced) services, such as voice mail and electric messaging. The FCC 
seeks comment on tentative conclusions relating to nonstructural 
safeguards, Comparably Efficient Interconnection plans, and network 
information disclosure rules, among other things. Finally, the FNPRM 
seeks to build a record on which to respond to a partial remand of 
certain orders by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
