EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendments to 47 CFR 0.457, 43.51, 63.14, 63.16, 63.22, 63.23, 64.1001, and 64.1002 published at 64 FR 34734 (June 29, 1999) became effective on July 29, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 15, 1999, the Commission adopted an order removing and modifying rules that govern the manner in which U.S. international telecommunications carriers provide service in correspondence with foreign carriers that operate in competitive markets, a summary of which was published in the Federal Register. See 64 FR 34734, June 29, 1999. All of the rules contained information collection requirements. We stated that the ``rules contain information collections that have not been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date of these rules.'' The information collections were approved by OMB on July 29, 1999. See OMB Nos. 3060-0454 and 3060-0901. This publication satisfies our statement that the Commission would publish a document announcing the effective date of the rules.
