A Rule by the Federal Communications Commission on 06/30/2020
DA 20-562
FRS 16806
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2020-12255
Warren Firschein, Office of Managing Director at (202) 418-2653 or Mindy Ginsburg, Office of Managing Director at (202) 418-0983.
This is a summary of the Commission's Order, DA 20-562, adopted on May 27, 2020 and released on May 28, 2020. The full text of this document is available for public inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC Reference Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20554, or by downloading the text from the Commission's website at https://www.fcc.gov/​document/​new-location-filing-hand-carried-documents-fcc-headquarters.
3. The Commission will not send a copy of the Order pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), because the adopted rules are rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice that do not “substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties.” See 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(C).
4. In the Order, the Office of Managing Director of the Federal Communications Commission amends its rules to reflect the new address for filing hand-carried documents at the Commission's headquarters and establish a new closing time for accepting such filings. Effective upon publication in the Federal Register, hand-carried documents are to be filed at 9050 Junction Drive, Annapolis Junction, MD 20701. After COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, this will be the only location where hand-carried paper filings for the Commission will be accepted. At that time, the filing window for hand-carried documents will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Commission will not accept hand-carried filings outside of those hours. These changes are being made to enhance security measures and in conjunction with the Commission's upcoming relocation to a new headquarters building located at 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554, which is scheduled to occur later this year.
5. This action is taken pursuant to the authority delegated by §§ 0.11 and 0.231 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.11 and 0.231.
6. Accordingly, pursuant to sections 4(e) and 5(e) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(e) and 155(d), it is ordered that part 0 of the Commission's rules are amended in the manner indicated in the Appendix of the Order, to be effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
2. Amend § 0.401 by revising paragraph (a)(1)(ii) to read as follows:
End Authority Start Printed Page 39076 Start Amendment Part
4. Amend § 1.4 by revising the first sentence of paragraph (f) to read as follows:
(f) Except as provided in § 0.401(b) of this chapter, all petitions, pleadings, tariffs or other documents not required to be accompanied by a fee and which are hand-carried must be tendered for filing in complete form, as directed by the Commission's rules, with the Office of the Secretary before 4 p.m., at the address indicated in 47 CFR 0.401(a). * * *
