verification procedure with the addition

of a Declaration of Conformity that

would be included with each product

marketed. In addition, we propose to

permit any party to assemble computers

from authorized CPU boards, power

supplies, and enclosures without further

testing provided the instructions

accompanying the components are

followed during assembly. Computers

assembled in this fashion would also be

accompanied by a Declaration of

Conformity. Alternatively, the computer

may be assembled using unauthorized

components provided the resulting

system is tested and accompanied by a

Declaration of Conformity. While the

measurement data, where required,

must be retained by the responsible

party, there is no requirement to file an

application with, and obtain

authorization from, the Commission

prior to marketing or importation.

Accordingly, we expect a significant

decrease in the overall recordkeeping

requirements.

Federal Rules Which Overlap,

Duplicate or Conflict With These Rules:

None.

Description, Potential Impact and

Number of Small Entities Involved: The

actions proposed in this proceeding will

result in a significant decrease in the

amount of testing and Commission

authorization of computer systems.

Currently, every combination of

components used to make a basic

computer system must be tested and

authorized prior to marketing or

importation. This is extremely

burdensome, especially on small

manufacturers. Under the proposal, as

long as authorized components are used

to assemble the computers no additional

testing or Commission authorization

would be required. However, there will

be some impact to the entities that

manufacture computer CPU boards,

power supplies and enclosures. We

estimate there are 50–75 manufacturers

of CPU boards and a similar number of

manufacturers of power supplies. No

estimate is available on the potential

number of manufacturers of enclosures.

Even with this additional impact to the

manufacturers of computer CPU boards,

power supplies and enclosures, the

overall workload will decrease.

Any Significant Alternatives

Minimizing the Impact on Small Entities

Consistent with Stated Objectives: None.

Foreign-Affiliated Entities: In the

Matter of Market Entry and Regulation

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of

comment period.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications

Commission has granted an extension of

time in which to file comments and

reply comments to its Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking on Market Entry

and Regulation of Foreign-Affiliated

Entities. The Commission acted in

response to Telefonica Larga Distancia

de Puerto Rico, Inc.’s (TLD) motion for

an extension of time. Because of the

broad range of complex legal, economic

and policy issues raised in the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission

recognized the importance of receiving

a complete and balanced presentation

on the numerous issues, and found that

an extension of time would help achieve

this objective. The Commission,

however, limited the extension of time

to two weeks beyond the original due

date for both the comments and reply

comments. In addition to being

concerned about a complete and

balanced presentation on the issues, the

Commission is equally interested in

completing this proceeding in a timely

manner, therefore it limited the

requested extension to two weeks

beyond the original due date.

As a result of the Commission order,

the due date for comments in this

proceeding has been extended to April

11, 1995, and the due date for the reply

comments has been extended May 12,

1995.

DATES: Comments due April 11, 1995;

Reply Comments due May 12, 1995.

ADDRESSES: All comments and reply

comments concerning this Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking should be

addressed to: Office of the Secretary,

Federal Communications Commission,

Washington, DC 20554. Comments and

reply comments will be available for

public inspection during regular

business hours in the FCC Reference

Center (Room 239) of the Federal

Communications Commission, 1919 M

St., NW., Washington, DC 20554.

Tanner or Ken Schagrin, International

Bureau (202) 418–1470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order

Adopted: March 15, 1995.

Released: March 15, 1995.

By the Chief, International Bureau: 1.

Telefonica Larga Distancia de Puerto Rico,

Inc. (TLD) requests that the time for filing

Comments and Reply Comments to the

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 1 be extended

four weeks. TRW Inc., IDB Mobile

Communications, Inc., and AmericaTel

Corporation join TLD in this request.

2. This proceeding seeks comments on a

broad range of complex legal, economic and

policy issues involving the entry and

regulation of foreign-affiliated entities in the

U.S. telecommunications market. The issues

raised have been the subject of much debate

in recent years, and the Commission is

interested in receiving a complete and

balanced presentation on the numerous

issues. While the Commission recognizes the

wide range of issues to be addressed, it is

also interested in completing this proceeding

in a timely manner. Therefore, the

Commission will limit the requested

extension of time for Comments and Reply

Comments to two weeks from the original

due dates of March 28, 1995, and April 28,

1995, respectively.

3. Although the Bureau does not routinely

grant extension requests, we find that an

extension of the deadline for Comments to

April 11, 1995, would be beneficial in this

proceeding as it would enable the parties to

fully develop their positions on the many

issues raised in this proceeding. In addition,

the Bureau will extend the deadline for filing

Reply Comments to May 12, 1995. The

parties should note, however, that the Bureau

remains committed to completing this

proceeding in a timely manner and that no

further extensions are contemplated.

4. Accordingly, pursuant to § 0.261 of the

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.261, it is

ordered that the deadline for filing

Comments to the Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking is extended to April 11, 1995,

and the deadline for filing Reply Comments

is extended to May 12, 1995.

Federal Communications Commission.

Chief, International Bureau.
