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.

Magalie Roman Salas,

Secretary,
Federal Communications Commission.

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, December 31, 1998.

Abstract: This NPRM proposes to modify the FCC's cost allocation and 
accounting rules as part of the biennial review process. Specifically, 
it proposes (1) to raise the threshold significantly for Class A 
accountings, thus allowing mid-sized carriers currently required to use 
Class A accounts to use the more streamlined Class B accounts; (2) to 
establish less burdensome cost allocation (CAM) procedures for the mid-
sized incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) and to reduce the 
frequency with which independent audits of the cost allocations are 
required; and (3) to make several changes to the uniform system of 
accounts to reduce accounting requirements and to eliminate or 
consolidate accounts.

USC 161; 47 USC 201; 47 USC 202; 47 USC 203; 47 USC 204; 47 USC 205; 47 
USC 215; 47 USC 218; 47 USC 403

CFR Citation:  47 CFR 43.21

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, December 31, 1998.

Abstract: The FCC proposes as part of its biennial regulatory review to 
reduce reporting requirement for incumbent local exchange carriers with 
annual operating revenues in excess of the annual indexed revenue 
threshold, currently $109 million. These modifications are designed to 
minimize the reporting burden on carriers, improve the quality and use 
of the reported financial and operating data, and reduce the costs of 
collection, verification, and distribution of the data. Eliminating the 
existing requirement to file paper reports and distribute ARMIS data by 
electronic means are two additional goals of this proposal.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: In order to make the access charge rules compatible with a 
competitive marketplace as envisioned by the Telecommunications Act of 
1996, the FCC on May 26, 1998, initiated a rulemaking to revise 
interstate access charge rules applicable to incumbent local exchange 
carriers subject to rate-of-return regulation. The NPRM seeks comment 
on proposals to allow presubscribed interexchange carrier charges on 
special access lines and to adjust the allocation of General Support 
Facilities costs recovered through interstate access charges to ensure 
that regulated access rates do not recover costs related to 
nonregulated services. The NPRM proposes that rate-of-return local 
exchange carriers recover marketing costs allocated to the interstate 
jurisdiction from end users on a per-line basis. In addition, to 
establish a new switched access rate element to accommodate a new 
service offering, the streamlined petition provisions of section 
69.4(g) are proposed.

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: In a Memorandum Opinion and Order, we clarified that sections 
251 and 252 apply to advanced telecommunications facilities and 
services offered by an incumbent local exchange carrier (LEC) and that 
the facilities and equipment used by incumbent LECs to provide advanced 
services are network elements and subject to Section 251(c). We denied 
requests to forbear from application of Sections 251(c) and/or 271, and 
we denied requests for large-scale changes in LATA boundaries. We have 
taken these steps to meet one of the fundamental goals of the 
Telecommunication Act of 1996 to promote innovation and investment by 
all participants in the telecommunications marketplace. In the NPRM, 
the FCC sought comment on whether we should modify our rules to promote 
the deployment of advanced telecommunications capabilities in a 
competitive manner.

Abstract: In an NPRM, the FCC has proposed to eliminate part 41 of the 
FCC's rules. Part 41 governs the issuance of franks for interstate and 
foreign telegraph and telephone service by communications common

service providers renders part 41's restrictions unnecessary to protect 
competitors or consumers. The NPRM is part of the FCC's 1998 Biennial

Abstract: The FCC adopted an Order and Notice of Proposed Rule Making

Importers will now seek a waiver of the limit on uncertified devices 
that can be brought into the U.S. for demos, sales, and sales 
conventions. The Order and NPRM seek comments on proposals that would 
(1) eliminate the requirement that parties importing radio frequency 
devices file a copy of the form 740 with the FCC, and (2) eliminate a 
loophole in one of the FCC's ``import conditions rules'' that allow the 
importation and sale in the U.S. of uncertified equipment if the buyer 
promises not to use it in the United States.

Abstract: The FCC proposes to allocate 75 megahertz of spectrum for use

Systems (ITS). DSRC systems are being designed that require a short 
range, wireless link to transfer information between vehicles and 
roadside systems. ITS services are expected to improve traveler safety,

and conservation of fossil fuels. This action furthers the goal of the 
U.S. Congress, the Department of Transportation, and the ITS industry 
to improve the efficiency of the nation's transportation infrastructure 
and facilitate the growth of the ITS industry. See ET Docket 98-95.

Abstract: The Commission proposes to amend the rules to provide the 
option of private sector approval of equipment that currently requires 
an approval by the Commission. It also proposes rule changes to 
implement a mutual recognition agreement (MRA) for product approvals 
with the European Community (EC) and to allow for similar agreements 
with other foreign trade parties. These actions are intended to 
eliminate the need for manufacturers to wait for approval from the FCC 
before marketing equipment in the United States, thereby reducing the 
time needed to bring a product to market.
