SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

On June 15, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission
(``Commission'') released a Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O), FCC
07-103, which denied a petition for rulemaking to extend the
requirement that all cellular radiotelephone licensees provide analog
service e to subscribers and roamers whose equipment conforms to the
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) standard. This requirement will
sunset on February 18, 2008. In the MO&O, the Commission also directed
cellular radiotelephone service licensees to notify their remaining
analog subscribers of the sunset date and of their intention to
discontinue AMPS-compatible analog service at least four months before
such discontinuance, and a second time, at least 30 days before such
discontinuance (the ``consumer-notice requirement'').
The consumer-notice requirement will ensure that remaining analog
cellular service subscribers, including persons with hearing
disabilities, are fully apprised of the sunset of the analog cellular
service requirement.
