SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This order provides notice of the Commission's adoption of minor nomenclature changes in various provisions codified at 39 CFR parts 3001 through 3003. These changes are required because the Commission is relocating from 1333 H Street, NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20268-0001 to 901 New York Avenue, NW., Suite 200, Washington, DC 20268-0001.

The revisions do not entail any changes to existing telephone numbers, ZIP Code, e-mail addresses or the Commission's Web site address (http://www.prc.gov).

References to the Commission's current physical address are being replaced whenever they appear with the Commission's new physical address. This affects 39 CFR 3001.9; 43(e)(4)(i); 3001.110 and 116; 39 CFR 3002.3(c); and 39 CFR 3003.3.

II. Notice of Adoption of Changes and Effective Date

Given the nature and limited extent of these changes, the Commission is adopting them as a direct final rule. The effective date is August 29, 2005, which coincides with the continuation of official business at the new location. The Commission directs the Secretary to arrange for publication of this order in the Federal Register.
