51378 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 190 / Wednesday, October 1, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

SUMMARY: The Commission’s

amendments to the international

Section 214 authorization process and

tariff requirements, which contained

new and modified information

collection requirements, became

effective on June 13, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The amendments to

§§ 1.767, 61.20, 61.21, 61.22, 63.01,

63.02, 63.05, 63.10, 63.11, 63.12, 63.13,

63.14, 64.15, 63.17, 63.18, 63.19, 63.20,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Troy

F. Tanner, Chief, Policy and Facilities

Branch, Telecommunications Division,

International Bureau, (202) 418–1470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

February 29, 1996, the Commission

adopted new rules to streamline the

international Section 214 authorization

process and tariff requirements, a

summary of which was published in the

Federal Register. See 61 FR 15724,

April 9, 1996. Because the rules and

regulations imposed new and modified

information collection requirements, we

stated that ‘‘§ 63.23(c) became effective

on May 9, 1996. All other regulations

take effect either May 9, 1996 or upon

approval by the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB), whichever occurs

later.’’ We also stated that ‘‘when

approval is received, the agency will

publish a document announcing the

effective date.’’ The information

collections were approved by OMB on

June 13, 1996. See OMB Nos. 3060–

0686. This publication satisfies the

statement that the Commission would

publish a document announcing the

effective date of the rules.

document concerning changes to the

Commission’s rules in 47 CFR part 25.

document corrects two errors contained

in that summary. The amendatory

language for § 25.143 in Item 16 was

appeared in § 25.212(c) of Item 20.

1. The amendatory language of Item

16, page 5930, is corrected to read as

follows:

16. Section 25.143(e)(1) is amended

density into the antenna does not

exceed ¥8 dBW/4 kHz and the

maximum transmitted satellite carrier

EIRP density does not exceed 13 dBW/

[CC Docket No. 90–337, FCC 96–160]

Regulation of International Accounting

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of

effective date.

SUMMARY: The rule amended by the

Commission establishing standards for

reporting when a carrier interconnects

an international private line to the U.S.

Public Switched Network (PSN), shall

become effective October 1, 1997. The

decision, which contained new

information collection requirements,

was published in the Federal Register

on November 21, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendment to 47

CFR § 43.51 published at 61 FR 59198

(November 21, 1996) is effective October

1, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Susan O’Connell, Attorney-Advisor,

Policy and Facilities Branch,

Telecommunications Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April

9, 1996, the Commission adopted a

Third Report and Order and Order on

Reconsideration (‘‘Order’’) (FCC 96–

160) establishing standards for reporting

when a carrier interconnects an

international private line to the U.S.

Public Switched Network (PSN), a

summary of which was published in the

Federal Register. See 61 FR 59198,

November 21, 1996. We stated that the

‘‘rule was effective December 23, 1996,

except § 43.51(d), which contains new

information collections which will not

become effective until approval by the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB).’’ We also stated that ‘‘the

Commission will publish a document in

the Federal Register at a later date

establishing the effective date.’’ This

statement requires further action by the

Commission to establish the effective

date, notwithstanding the preceding

statement in the summary that the rule

change would become effective upon

OMB approval. In order to resolve this

matter in a manner that most

appropriately provides interested

parties with proper notice, the rule

changes adopted in the Order shall

become effective October 1, 1997. The

information collection contained in

§ 43.51(d) was approved by OMB on

January 6, 1997. See OMB No. 3060–

0751.
