FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 1

[DA 99-2788]


Ex Parte Presentations in Commission Proceedings

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains an editorial amendment to the 
Commission's regulations concerning ex parte presentations. It 
consolidates amendments made in two separate Commission actions into a 
corrected text.

DATES: Effective January 28, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David S. Senzel, Office of General 
Counsel (202) 418-1720.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is the full text of the Order of the 
Commission's Managing Director, DA 99-2788, adopted on December 14, 
1999, and released December 17, 1999.
    1. By this order, we correct the language of 47 CFR 1.1202(d)(2) of 
the Commission's ex parte rules. This provision was amended by two 
separate actions of the Commission. The first was the Commission's 
Report and Order in WT Docket No. 96-198, FCC 99-181, released 
September 29, 1999. Notice of this action was published in the Federal 
Register at 64 FR 63235 (Nov. 19, 1999), to become effective on January 
28, 2000. The second was the Commission's Memorandum Opinion and Order 
in GC Docket No. 95-21, FCC 99-322, released November 9, 1999. Notice 
of this second action was published in the Federal Register at 64 FR 
68946 (Dec. 9, 1999), to become effective on January 10, 2000. Each of 
the two actions fails to take into account the amendment made by the 
other. To cure this oversight, we will amend the rule to consolidate 
the amendments made by the two actions into a single corrected text.
    2. Additionally, the text of the rule set forth in 64 FR 63235 
contains a typographical error. That text refers to Secs. 6.17 and 7.17 
instead of the correct sections, 6.21 and 7.21. We will make an 
appropriate correction.
    3. Pursuant to the authority delegated under 47 CFR 0.231(b), 47 
CFR 1 IS AMENDED as set forth effective on January 28, 2000 and 
substituting for and superseding the corresponding

amendment to part 1 contained in 64 FR 63235 otherwise effective on 
that date.
Andrew S. Fishel,
Managing Director.
