SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is 
correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on

Connections Act of 2022 (Safe Connections Act or SCA), taking 
significant steps to improve access to communications services for 
survivors of domestic abuse and related crimes.

DATES: 
    Effective date: This correction is effective January 14, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is correcting a final rule 
that appeared in the Federal Register on December 5, 2023, at 88 FR 
84406, which issued final rules implementing the SCA, taking 
significant steps to improve access to communications services for 
survivors of domestic abuse and related crimes. A subsequent rule 
published on December 8, 2023, at 88 FR 85814, also added a paragraph 
(h) to Sec.  64.2010. This document corrects the December 5 rule's 
addition of Sec.  64.2010(h) by redesignating it as paragraph (i) and 
revising it to account for a reference within.

    (i) Compliance date. Compliance with the provision in paragraph (f) 
of this section applicable to line separation requests under 47 U.S.C. 
345 and subpart II of this part will not be required until this

of any information collection requirements in subpart II of this part 
that the Wireline Competition Bureau determines is required under the

Competition Bureau to announce a compliance date for the requirements 
of paragraph (f) by subsequent Public Notice and notification in the 
Federal Register and to cause this section to be revised accordingly.

Federal Communications Commission.
