2000 Biennial Regulatory Review: International Telecommunications 
Service

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rules; announcement of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document announces the effective date of the rule 
published on July 9, 2002. Those rules amended the Commission's rules 
regarding the provision of international telecommunications service. 
The Commission also clarified the intent of certain rules and 
eliminated certain rules that were no longer necessary. The 
Commission's action was part of the agency's 2000 biennial regulatory 
review.

DATES: Sections 43.61, 63.10(d), 63.18(e)(3), 63.19(a) and (b), 
63.20(a), and 63.24(e) and (f) are effective September 4, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Reitzel, Policy and Facilities 
Branch, Telecommunications Division, International Bureau, (202) 418-
1460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 10, 2002, the Commission released a 
report and order adopting a number of amendments to Parts 43 and 63 of 
the Commission's rules, as well as changes to Commission policy (FCC 
02-154), a summary of which was published in the Federal Register. See 
67 FR 45387 (July 9, 2002). We stated that the rules were effective on 
August 8, 2002, except for those sections containing new information 
collection requirements, which required approval by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). The information collection requirements 
were approved by OMB on July 30, 2002. See OMB No. 3060-1019. This 
publication satisfies our statement that the Commission would publish a 
document announcing the effective date of the rules.
