Synopsis of the Order 

By an Order published at 66 FR 

62991, December 4, 2001, the 

Commission amended its procedural 

rules ‘‘on an emergency, interim basis’’

to permit certain pleadings (specifically, 

(i) Petitions to deny filed pursuant to 

section 309 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended (Act), 47 U.S.C. 

309; (ii) petitions for reconsideration 

filed pursuant to section 405 of the Act, 

47 U.S.C. 405; (iii) applications for 

review filed pursuant to section 5(c)(4) 

of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 155(c)(4); (iv) 

informal requests for Commission action 

involving pending applications filed 

pursuant to § 1.41 of the Commission’s 

rules, 47 CFR 1.41; (v) petitions to 

amend the TV and FM Broadcast Table 

of Allotments and responsive pleadings; 

and (vi) comments or oppositions to 

open video system certification made 

pursuant to § 76.1502(e)(1) of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

76.1502(e)(1)) to be filed electronically 

(i.e., by facsimile or e-mail) ‘‘[u]ntil 

further notice.’’ It adopted these 

procedures in response to ‘‘recent 

emergency events in Washington, DC, 

resulting in the unforeseeable and 

understandable disruption of regular 

mail delivery and of the processing of 

other deliveries due to the threat of 

contamination,’’ i.e., the discovery of 

anthrax contamination on Capitol Hill 

and at certain U.S. Postal Service mail 

processing facilities, and the consequent 

delay in mail processing due to 

quarantine and cleansing procedures 

associated with the anthrax 

contamination. The Commission stated, 

‘‘[T]hese emergency procedures are 

adopted on a temporary basis only, and 

will be discontinued when normal U.S. 

Mail delivery resumes.’’

We note that mail delivery in the 

Washington, DC area has improved, and 

that the United States Postal Service has 

greatly reduced the delay in processing 

mail. We also note that the Commission 

has expanded it electronic filing 

capabilities, and implemented its own 

processes to combat the threat of 

contamination of incoming mail. Given 

these circumstances, we conclude that 

the interim electronic filing procedures 

adopted by the Commission in 2001 are 

no longer necessary. Accordingly, we 

rescind those procedures, effective 

ninety days after publication of this 

Order in the Federal Register. (This 

includes elimination of interim 

facsimile number 202–418–0187 and the 

following Office of the Secretary Bureau 

and Office e-mail addresses: 

MMBSecretary@fcc.gov; 

WTBSecretary@fcc.gov; 

CCBSecretary@fcc.gov; 

CSBSecretary@fcc.gov; 

IBSecretary@fcc.gov; 

EBSecretary@fcc.gov; 

OtherSecretary@fcc.gov.) Thereafter, 

filings will no longer be accepted by 

facsimile or e-mail, unless specifically 

authorized by the Commission’s rules. 

Pursuant to the authority of section 

4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), the 

interim electronic filing procedures 

adopted in Order FCC 01–345, at 66 FR 

62991, December 4, 2001, are rescinded. 

Federal Communications Commission.

1. Part 90 contains the rules for both 

the Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) 

Services and certain Commercial Mobile 

Radio Services (CMRS). PLMR licensees 

generally do not provide for-profit 

communications services. Some 

examples of PLMR licensees are public 

safety agencies, businesses that use 

radio only for their internal operations, 

utilities, transportation entities, and 

medical service providers. CMRS 

licensees, by comparison, do provide 

for-profit communications services, 

such as paging and Specialized Mobile 

Radio services that offer customers 

communications that are interconnected 

to the public switched network. 

2. We take this opportunity to make 

certain minor editorial amendments to 

part 90 to correct errors or omissions of 

publication, eliminate duplicative 

language, and conform language among 

rule sections.
