SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections
amended the Commission's rules relating to high-cost universal service
support for rural carriers in response to recommendations of the Rural
Task Force. Among other things, the amendments added Sec. Sec. 36.602
and 36.603 to the Commission's rules and provided that, effective July
1, 2001, Sec. Sec. 36.602 and 36.603 supersede Sec. 36.601(c) of the
Commission's rules. Section 36.622 of the Commission's rules previously
contained a reference to Sec. 36.601(c), and additional references to
Sec. Sec. 36.602 and 36.603 were inadvertently omitted in the final
rules.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations omit references to rule
sections that were added, and this omission may be misleading and needs
to be corrected.
