Comprehensive Review of the Uniform System of Accounts; Jurisdictional Separations and Referral to the Federal-State Joint Board

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment on its proposal to adopt recommendations from the Federal-State Joint Board on Jurisdictional Separations and to amend the Part 36 jurisdictional separations rules accordingly. Acknowledging the implications that reforms adopted in the Part 32 Reform Order would have on the Part 36 rules, the Commission referred to the Federal-State Joint Board on Jurisdictional Separations (Joint Board) consideration of how and when to modify Part 36 to ensure that it is consistent with the Part 32 reforms. The Joint Board issued its Recommended Decision in October 2017. The Commission proposes to adopt each of the Joint Board's recommendations using, with minor exceptions, the amendment language the Joint Board suggested, and seeks comment on these proposals.
