SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In document FCC 19-11, published at 84 FR 8457, March 8, 2019, the Commission adopted §§ 64.611(k) and 64.615(c), which advised that compliance with §§ 64.611(j)(2) and 64.615(a)(3) and (5), respectively, was not required until OMB approval was obtained. Sections 64.611(k) and 64.615(c) also each state that the Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the compliance date and revising the paragraphs. In a document, published at 85 FR 9392, February 19, 2020, the Commission announced OMB approval for §§  64.611(j)(2) and 64.615(a)(3) and (5) and set the compliance date. The document also states it would remove §§  64.611(k) and 64.615(c) of the Commission's rules. As the compliance date for §§ 64.611(j)(2) and 64.615(a)(3) and (5) is established, §§ 64.611(k) and 64.615(c) are no longer necessary. Accordingly, in this document the Commission removes §§ 64.611(k) and 64.615(c) from the Commission's rules.
