# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    In the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism Fifth Report and Order and Order, the Commission adopted measures to protect against waste, fraud, and abuse in the administration of the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism (also known as the E-rate program). In particular, the Commission resolved a number of issues that have arisen from audit activities conducted as part of ongoing oversight over the administration of the universal service fund, and the Commission addressed programmatic concerns raised by its Office of Inspector General. A summary of the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism Fifth Report and Order and Order was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on September 13, 2004, 69 FR 55097, and corrected on October 4, 2004, 69 FR 59145. In that summary, the Commission stated that with the exception of rules requiring OMB approval, the rules adopted in the Schools and Libraries Universal Service                           ( print page 55301)                        Support Mechanism Fifth Report and Order and Order would become effective 30 days after publication in the                     **Federal Register**                    . With regard to rules requiring OMB approval, the Commission stated that it would publish a document in the                     **Federal Register**                     announcing the effective date of those sections. OMB approved and announced the information collection requirements in the                     **Federal Register**                     on November 12, 2004. See OMB No. 3060-0806. Accordingly, through this document, the Commission announces that November 12, 2004 will function as the effective date of the information collection requirements and the rules implementing them.
