47 CFR Parts 20 and 24

[DA 01-361]

Minor Editorial Amendments to the Commercial Mobile Radio Services and Personal Communications Services

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends two rule sections so that they use the current, rather than previous, names and subpart designations of the Public Mobile Services, and it also amends another rule section in order to revise an erroneous cross-reference.

DATES: Effective February 21, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: B.C. ``Jay'' Jackson, Jr. (202) 418- 1309.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Order makes minor, non-substantive revisions to 47 CFR part 20 and 47 CFR

[[Page 10968]]

part 24. Specifically, 47 CFR 20.9, paragraphs (a)(6) through (a)(9), and 47 CFR 20.20, paragraph (e) of this section, are amended to use the current names and subpart designations of Public Mobile Services as set forth in 47 CFR part 22. These sections currently refer to these services by previous names and subpart designations. Additionally, 47 CFR 24.133(a) is amended to revise an erroneous reference to another rule section. Currently the rule refers to a ``Sec. 99.132(f)''. However, 47 CFR part 99 no longer exists; the correct reference is to ``Sec. 24.132(f)'' (47 CFR 24.132(f)). Because the rule amendments adopted herein are non-substantive, notice and public procedure thereon are found to be unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), and the required publication may be made less than 30 days prior to the effective date, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
