47 CFR Part 64

[CC Docket 94-129; FCC 97-248]


Unauthorized Changes of Consumer's Long Distance Carriers; 
Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communication Commission published in the Federal 
Register of August 14, 1997, a document which amends the Commission's 
rules and policies governing the unauthorized switching of subscribers' 
primary interexchange carriers (PICs), an activity more commonly known 
as ``slamming.'' In the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission 
disposes of six petitions for reconsideration of its 1995 Report and 
Order, and amends its rules regarding changes in subscribers' long 
distance carriers in three respects. The Commission's decision is 
intended to deter and ultimately eliminate unauthorized changes in 
subscribers' long distance carriers. Inadvertently Sec. 64.1100(a) had 
the word ``or'' omitted. This document adds the word ``or''.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 12, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathy Seidel, Enforcement Division, 
Common Carrier Bureau, [phone].

Register of August 14, 1997, FCC 97-248 (62 FR 43477) FR Doc. No. 97-
21527. The amended Sec. 64.1100(a) inadvertently had the word ``or''
