    In a letter dated August 26, 1996, the United States Department of 
Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (DJ) asked 
that an N11 code, specifically 311, be reserved on a national basis for

suggested that the N11 code could be used to give access to other 
government services, at the discretion of each jurisdiction.
    We invite comment on DJ's request. Comments should be filed by 
October 10, 1996, with the Secretary, FCC, 1919 M Street, N.W.,
