               B-276783



               May 1, 1997

               The Honorable John McCain
               Chairman
               The Honorable Ernest F. Hollings
               Ranking Minority Member
               Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
               United States Senate

               The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr.
               Chairman
               The Honorable John D. Dingell

               Committee on Commerce
               House of Representatives

               Subject: Federal Communications Commission: Use of the 28 GHz and 31 GHz
                         Bands for Local Multipoint Distribution Service

               Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report
               on a major rule promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission
               (Commission), entitled Use of the 28 GHz and 31 GHz Bands for Local Multipoint
               Distribution Service (CC Docket No. 92-297; FCC 97-82). We received the rule on
               April 16, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on April 29,
               1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 23148.

               The final rule establishes service and competitive bidding rules for the new Local
               Multipoint Distribution Service, a fixed broadband point-to-multipoint microwave
               service for which the rule allocates additional spectrum in the 31.0-31.3 GHz band.

               Enclosed is our assessment of the Commission's compliance with the procedural
               steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the
               rule. Our review indicates that the Commission complied with the applicable
               requirements.
