rules and procedures for encoding alphanumeric text and pictorial
information for videotex and teletext applications, adopts American

supported by this technology are no longer needed by the Federal
government.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit views from the public,
manufacturers, and Federal, state, and local government users prior to
submission of this proposed withdrawal to the Secretary of Commerce for
review and approval.
