7 CFR Part 1753
Acceptance Test Policy
AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is proposing a minor
amendment to its test acceptance procedures to correct 7 CFR part
1753.39, paragraph (c), to reflect new acceptance tests guidelines
covered under RUS Bulletin 1753E-201, Acceptance Tests for Digital,
Stored Program Controlled Central Office Equipment.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, RUS is
publishing this action as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because RUS views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no
adverse comments. If no adverse comments are received in response to
the direct final rule, no further action will be taken on this proposed
rule and the action will become effective at the time specified in the
direct final rule. If RUS receives adverse comments, a document will be
published withdrawing the effective date of the direct final rule and
all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final
rule based on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received July 16, 1997.
