Synopsis
I. Administrative Matters
A. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. Section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended, requires a regulatory flexibility analysis in notice and comment rulemaking proceedings. See 5 U.S.C. 603(a). As we are adopting these rules without notice and comment, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required.
B. Final Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis
2. This document does not contain new or modified information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any new or modified information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).
C. Congressional Review Act
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).
II. Introduction
4. In the Order, the Office of Managing Director of the Federal Communications Commission amends the Commission's rules to reflect the upcoming new address for the Commission's headquarters, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554 in light of the Commission's upcoming move to a new headquarters building.[1] In addition, the Order clarifies that certain documents are now available for inspection through the Commission's website, removes references to a Commission copy contractor, and performs minor formatting corrections. Finally, the Order notes that in a separate order released on May 28, 2020, the Commission's rules were amended to reflect the new address for filing hand-carried documents at the FCC's headquarters and establish a new closing time for accepting such filings. Those changes remain in effect and are not impacted by the actions here.
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.
III. Ordering CLAUSES
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 the respective parts of the Commission's rules are amended in the manner indicated in the Appendix of the Order, to be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
