     on January 15, j981,L[thekresident's third special message
for fir1981as transmitted to the Congress pursuant to
the Impoundment Contrb1 Act of 1974. The special message roposes
33 rescissions of budget authority totalling $1,142.4 million; 15
new deferrals totalling $1,429.9 million and revisions to three
previously-reported deferrals totalling $4.4 million as follows:

          DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

R81-1     National Oceanic and Atmospheric
             Administration
          Operations, Research, and Facilities
          13X1450

R81-2     National Telecommunications and
             Information Administration
          Public Telecommunications Facilities,
             Planning and Construction
          13X0551

     Assistance for planning and construction of public telecom-
munications facilities was provided in the Federal Telecommunica-
tions Financing Act of 1978, Public Law 95-567, Title I, §102,
47 U.S.C. 392. The Act provided for matching grants in order to
extend delivery of public communications services throughout the
United States and to strengthen the capability of existing facil-
ities to provide such services.

     The estimated effects section of this rescission message
states that a rescission of $4 million will have no significant
impact on the National Telecommunications and Information Admin-
istration's ability to meet the start-up and extension require-
ments of the Telecommunications Financing Act of 1978, although
the specific demand by States for funds in fiscal year 1981 is
not known. Officials with the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration, Department of Commerce, supplied
us with information which indicates that while specific demand
by States for grant funds is unknown, the demand will be in
excess of the funds available.
