    Pursuant to 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.419, interested parties may file 
comments and reply comments on or before the respective dates indicated 
in the DATES section of this document.
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 1.1200 et seq., this matter shall be treated as 
a ``permit-but-disclose'' proceeding in accordance with the 
Commission's ex parte rules. Persons making ex parte presentations must 
file a copy of any written presentation or a memorandum summarizing any 
oral presentation within two business days after the presentation 
(unless a different deadline applicable to the Sunshine period 
applies). Persons making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that 
memoranda summarizing the presentation must (1) list all persons 
attending or otherwise participating in the meeting at which the ex 
parte presentation was made, and (2) summarize all data presented and 
arguments made during the presentation. If the presentation consisted 
in whole or in part of the presentation of data or arguments already 
reflected in the presenter's written comments, memoranda or other 
filings in the proceeding, the presenter may provide citations to such 
data or arguments in his or her prior comments, memoranda, or other 
filings (specifying the relevant page and/or paragraph numbers where 
such data or arguments can be found) in lieu of summarizing them in the 
memorandum. Documents shown or given to Commission staff during ex 
parte meetings are deemed to be written ex parte presentations and must 
be filed consistent with rule 1.1206(b). In proceedings governed by 
rule 1.49(f) or for which the Commission has made available a method of 
electronic filing, written ex parte presentations and memoranda 
summarizing oral ex parte presentations, and all attachments thereto, 
must be filed through the electronic comment filing system available 
for that proceeding, and must be filed in their native format (e.g., 
.doc, .xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants in this proceeding 
should familiarize themselves with the Commission's ex parte rules.

    Synopsis: On February 4, 2011, the Commission released document FCC 
11-16, Amendment of Certain of the Commission's Part 1 Rules of 
Practice and Procedure and Part 0 Rules of Commission Organization, 
Report and Order, 76 FR 24383, May 2, 2011, which revised portions of 
its Part 1--Practice and Procedure and Part 0--Organizational rules.
    The revised rules, in part, delegate authority to the Chief, CGB to 
periodically review all open dockets and, in consultation with the 
responsible Bureaus or Offices, to identify those dockets that appear 
to be candidates for termination. These candidates include dockets in 
which no further action is required or contemplated, as well as those 
in which no pleadings or other documents have been filed for several 
years. However, the Commission specified that proceedings in which 
petitions addressing the merits are pending should not be terminated 
absent the parties' consent. The termination of a dormant proceeding 
also includes dismissal as moot of any pending petition, motion, or 
other request for relief that is procedural in nature or otherwise does 
not address the merits of the proceeding.
    Prior to the termination of any particular proceeding, the 
Commission was directed to issue a Public Notice identifying the 
dockets under consideration for termination and affording interested 
parties an opportunity to comment. Thus, CGB has identified the dockets 
for possible termination in document DA 16-187, available at https://www.fcc.gov/document/cgb-seeks-comments-termination-certain-proceedings-dormant.

Federal Communications Commission.
