[CG Docket Nos. 21-402, 02-278, 17-59; FCC 23-107; FR ID 207543]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 2, 2024, the Federal Communications Commission
(Commission) published a final rule requiring terminating mobile
wireless providers to block text messages from a particular number
following notification from the Commission. The Commission also
codified that the National Do-Not-Call (DNC) Registry's protections
extend to text messages. An amendment in the final rule with a delayed
effective date provided an incomplete revision of a certain paragraph.
This document corrects that amendatory instruction.
DATES: This correction is effective January 27, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule published January 26,
2024, the Commission amended 47 CFR 64.1200. One of the amendments
revises paragraph (f)(9)(i), effective January 27, 2025. However, the
instruction for the revision incorrectly stated the entire paragraph
(f)(9) is revised, which would result in the loss of paragraph
(f)(9)(ii), as it was not provided in the revised text. The Commission
did not intend to remove paragraph (f)(9)(ii), and this correction
lists the specific revision to paragraph (f)(9).
Correction
In FR Rule Doc. No. 2023-28832 appearing on page 5098 in the
Federal Register of Friday, January 26, 2024, the following correction
is made:
Sec. 64.1200 [Corrected]

``Effective January 27, 2025, further amend Sec. 64.1200 by revising

January 27, 2025, further amend Sec. 64.1200 by revising paragraphs
(f)(9) introductory text and (f)(9)(i) to read as follows:''.
