Nonsubstantive, Editorial Revisions of Rules and Regulations To 
Correct Authority Citations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission makes 
non-substantive revisions to authority citations in its regulations. 
These authority citations are required by the rules of the 
Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, and their format is 
prescribed by the Document Drafting Handbook of the Office of the 
Federal Register. Certain of the authority citations currently in the 
Commission's rules may not conform to those specifications.

DATES: This rule is effective September 28, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW, 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Douglas A. Klein, Office of General 
Counsel, at (202) 418-1720.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Order adopted by 
the Commission's Managing Director, DA 18-976, adopted on September 21, 
2018, and released on September 21, 2018. The full text of this 
document is available for public inspection during regular business 
hours in the FCC Reference Center, Room CY-A257, 445 12th Street SW, 
Washington, DC 20554, or at https://www.fcc.gov/edocs.
    1. In this Order, the Managing Director makes non-substantive 
revisions to authority citations in title 47 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations. These authority citations are required by the rules of the 
Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR), and their 
format is prescribed by the Document Drafting Handbook of the Office of 
the Federal Register. Certain of the authority citations currently in 
the Commission's rules may not conform to those specifications.
    2. The changes effected by this Order are intended only to bring 
the authority citations into conformance with the ACFR regulations and 
Document Drafting Handbook of the Office of the Federal Register. None 
of these changes should be construed to change the substantive 
requirements of the affected rules or the sources of Commission 
authority for those requirements.
    3. Regulatory Flexibility Act. Because we adopt this Order without 
notice and comment, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) does not 
apply.
    4. Paperwork Reduction Act. The Order does not contain new or 
modified information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, 
it does not contain any new or modified ``information collection burden 
for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees,'' pursuant to 
the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002.
    5. Congressional Review Act. Because this Order affects only rules 
of agency organization, procedure, or practice and does not 
substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties, 
it is not subject to the Congressional Review Act.
    6. Petitions for reconsideration pursuant to 47 CFR 1.429 or 
applications for review pursuant to 47 CFR 1.115 of this Order may be 
filed within thirty days of publication of a summary of this Order in 
the Federal Register. Should no petitions for reconsideration or 
applications for review be timely filed, this proceeding shall be 
terminated and its docket closed.
    7. Accordingly, it is ordered that, pursuant to the authority 
contained in sections 4(i), 4(j), and 5 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), 155, and Sec.  0.231(b) of 
the rules of the Federal Communications Commission, 47 CFR 0.231(b), 
this Order is adopted, effective immediately upon publication in the 
Federal Register.
    8. It is further ordered that title 47 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations is amended as set forth in the regulatory text hereto.
