ACTION:

Final rule, correction.

SUMMARY:

This document corrects an error in the dates and supplementary sections of a Federal Register document regarding the Commission addressing pending petitions for reconsideration filed by Sprint Corporation, United States Telecom Association, Inc., and MCI Worldcom, Inc. The Commission agreed with petitioners that the Commission should seek recovery from schools and libraries in certain instances, and therefore grants their petitions in part. The Commission resolved the limited question raised in the Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Second FNPRM) in CC Docket No. 02-06 of from whom the Commission will seek recovery of schools and libraries funds disbursed in violation of the statute or a rule. The Commission modified its requirements in this area so that recovery will be sought from whichever party or parties has committed the statutory or rule violation. The summary was published in the Federal Register on September 17, 2004.

DATES:

Effective October 17, 2004.
