Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060-0599
    Title: Implementation of Sections 3(n) and 332 of the 
Communications Act, GN Docket No. 93-252, Second Report and Order.
    Expiration Date: 04/30/97
    Estimated Annual Burden: 2150 total hours; 1.66 hours per response; 
1295 respondents.
    Description: In the Second Report and Order issued in GN Docket No. 
93-252, the Commission adopted rules to implement Sections 3(n) and 332 
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by Section 6000(b) of the 
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The new rules adopted: (1) 
interpret the elements that define the terms ``commercial mobile radio 
service (CMRS)'' and ``private mobile radio service (PMRS);'' (2) based 
on these definitions, determine the regulatory status of existing 
mobile services and of personal communications services (PCS); (3) 
address the degree to which those services that will be classified as 
CMRS will be subject to regulation under Title II of the Act; and (4) 
address the other issues, including interconnection rights and 
preemption of state regulatory authority over mobile service providers. 
Traditional private carriers now reclassified as commercial mobile 
radio services providers will be subject to certain Title II 
provisions. The statute preempts state regulation of entry and rates 
for both CMRS and PMRS providers. States may petition the Commission 
for authority to regulate CMRS rates under some circumstances. The 
information collected as a result of this rulemaking will create 
regulatory symmetry among similar mobile services. This symmetrical 
regulatory structure will promote competition in the mobile services 
marketplace and will serve the interests of consumers while also 
benefitting the national economy.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
