FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
FCC Office of the Secretary Relocates To The Portals; Procedure
for Paper Filings
October 23, 1998.
Effective November 2, 1998, the Office of the Secretary will
relocate to the Commission's new building facilities at The Portals,
445 Twelfth Street, S.W., Washington, D.C., 20554. The Secretary's new
office will be open for business, as usual, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30
p.m., Mondays through Fridays, except holidays. Paper filings will be
received at a designated counter located at TW-A325 in the 12th Street
lobby of the building, where filers will be able to receive their
``stamp and return'' copy, upon request.
The Commission expects to complete its relocation to The Portals
within the next six months. For the public's convenience during this
transition period, the Office of the Secretary will accept paper
filings at 1919 M Street, N.W., Room 222, but only between the hours of
4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, except holidays. If
requested, ``stamp and return'' copies will be provided at the time of
filing. This temporary filing site will be closed on the date that the
Commission completes its relocation to The Portals.
The Commission encourages those wishing to file paper documents to
begin making these filings at the Portals building. In addition, to
ensure the expeditious receipt and distribution of paper filings during
the transition period, the public should follow the established
``Guidelines for Uniform Filings.'' These guidelines are printed below.
Please forward any questions to Magalie Roman Salas, FCC Secretary;
Bill Caton, Deputy Secretary; or Ruth Dancey, Assistant Secretary, at

To enable the staff of the Office of the Secretary to provide the
most efficient service to you, please follow these guidelines in
preparing and submitting ``uniform'' filings.

submit two (2) additional copies for each docket number listed.
b. To obtain a ``stamp and return'' copy, place an extra copy of
either the cover letter or the filing on top of your package. This copy
will be returned to you.
c. Confidential filings should be clearly marked ``CONFIDENTIAL,''
``NOT FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION'' and placed in a separate envelope.
d. Ex parte documents should be clearly labeled ``EX PARTE''.
e. Always include a contact name, address and telephone number.
