    SUMMARY: This order amends various parts of the Federal Communications 
    Commission's regulations to reflect the creation of a new International 
    Bureau, and the abolition of the old Office of International 
    Communications. Some of the changes affect the internal structure of 
    the Commission; others affect the delegation of authority from the 
    Commission to the International Bureau and other bureaus and offices; 
    and others affect procedures for practice before the Commission.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 19, 1994.

    Order
    
    Adopted: September 27, 1994
    Released: October 19, 1994
    
        By the Commission:
        1. The Commission has before it for consideration a set of proposed 
    rule changes creating a new International Bureau. The proposed changes 
    affect the Office of International Communications, Mass Media Bureau, 
    Common Carrier Bureau, Field Operations Bureau, Private Radio Bureau, 
    and Office of Engineering and Technology. Implementation of the 
    proposed changes requires amendment of Parts 0, 1, 25, 43, 64, and 73 
    of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
        2. In order to create an effective organization in which to 
    centralize and consolidate the Commission's international policies and 
    activities, the Commission has determined to establish the new 
    International Bureau. The amendments adopted in this Order reflect the 
    creation of the new bureau, describe its functions, and set forth the 
    extent and nature of the authority delegated by the Commission to the 
    Chief of the International Bureau.
        3. The amendments adopted herein pertain to agency organization. 
    The prior notice procedure and effective date provisions of section 553 
    of the Administrative Procedure Act are therefore inapplicable. 
    Authority for the amendments adopted herein is contained in section 
    4(i), 5(b), 5(c)(1), and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
    amended
        4. It is hereby ordered, effective upon release of this Order, the 
    Parts 0, 1, 25, 43, 64, and 73 of the Commission's rules and 
    regulations, set forth in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
    be amended as set forth below.
