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 Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Federal Communications Commission: Equipment Authorization for Digital Devices 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 (FCC), entitled Equipment Authorization for Digital Devices (ET Docket 95-19; FCC 97- 240). We received the rule on May 27, 1998. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on August 4, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 41879. This final rule was issued in response to petitions for reconsideration filed in connection with a prior FCC rule (Amendment of Parts 2 and 15 of the Commission's Rules to Deregulate the Equipment Authorization Requirement for Digital Devices, ET Docket 95-19; FCC 96-208) which was the subject of our Office's major rule report GAO/OGC-96-21, July 2, 1996. The instant rule clarifies and further relaxes the computer authorization process requirements previously adopted. The rule was only recently forwarded to our Office and the Congress by the FCC. Enclosed is our assessment of the FCC'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 FCC complied with the applicable requirements. GAO/OGC-98-54
