# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    The                     *First Report and Order,*                     FCC 15-47, published at 80 FR 36164, June 23, 2015, stated that section 96.29 would not become effective until after the                     **Federal Register**                     publication of the date that OMB approved the resulting modification of the information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and effective date of such modifications. The                     *Second Report and Order,*                     GN Docket No. 12-354, FCC 16-55, published at 81 FR 49024, July 26, 2016, stated that modifications to section 96.17(b) and section 96.3 would not become effective until after the                     **Federal Register**                     publication of the date that OMB approved the resulting modification of the information collections under the PRA and the effective date of such modifications. Because subsequent review and consultation with OMB has revealed that there is no existing clearance that will be modified by these rules, OMB review is not necessary. Thus, these rules may become effective immediately.                

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
