the Commission's rules that were published in the Federal Register at 
83 FR 18948 (May 1, 2018). The full text of the Commission's Report and 
Order, WC Docket No. 10-90; FCC 18-37, released on April 5, 2018 is 
available for public inspection during regular business hours in the

(May 1, 2018), amendatory instruction 2 erroneously added text as 
paragraph (a)(6) to Sec.  54.303. The Commission's intent was to add
