by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments.
    (b) Terminal equipment labels shall include an identification 
numbering system in a manner required by the Administrative Council for 
Terminal Attachments.
    (c) If the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments chooses 
to continue the practice of utilizing a designated ``FCC'' number, it 
shall include in its labeling requirements a warning that the Commission 
no longer directly approves or registers terminal equipment.
    (d) Labeling developed for terminal equipment by the Administrative 
Council on Terminal Attachments shall contain sufficient information for 
providers of wireline telecommunications, the Federal Communications 
Commission, and the U.S. Customs Service to carry out their functions, 
and for consumers to easily identify the responsible party of their 
terminal equipment. The numbering and labeling scheme shall be 
nondiscriminatory, creating no competitive advantage for any entity or 
segment of the industry.
    (e) FCC numbering and labeling requirements existing prior to the 
effective date of these rules shall remain unchanged until the 
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments publishes its numbering 
and labeling requirements.
