Procedural Matters

    Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis: This document does not 
contain new or modified information collections subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521. In 
addition, therefore, it does not contain any new or modified 
information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act 
of 2002, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).
    Congressional Review Act: The Commission has determined, and the 
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget concurs, that this rule is ``non-
major'' under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The 
Commission will send a copy of this Direct Final Rule to Congress and 
the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

Synopsis

    1. This Direct Final Rule continues our efforts to modernize our 
regulatory framework by rescinding certain wireless rules and 
requirements in parts 1, 13, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 30, 54, 74, 80, 
87, 88, 90, 95, 96, 97, and 101. In this proceeding, we have undertaken 
a sweeping review eventually aimed at eliminating outdated rules, 
reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens, accelerating infrastructure 
deployment, promoting network modernization, and spurring innovation. 
Our objective is to streamline, simplify, and smartly deregulate across 
multiple fronts simultaneously to better serve the public and support 
technological progress.
    2. In initiating this proceeding, we generally sought to identify 
rules that are outdated, obsolete, unlawful, anticompetitive, or 
otherwise no longer in the public interest. In this item, we 
specifically focus on the repeal of certain wireless rules in various 
parts for which prior notice and comment are unnecessary, but for which 
we elect to provide an opportunity for input on that assessment. Absent 
any significant adverse comments in response to this Direct Final Rule, 
these rules will be repealed.
    3. Good Cause to Forgo Notice and Comment. Under the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA), when an agency for good cause finds that notice 
and public comment ``are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the 
public interest,'' it need not follow notice and comment procedures 
before modifying or repealing rules. Prior notice and comment are 
``unnecessary'' when `` `the administrative rule is a routine 
determination, insignificant in nature and impact, and inconsequential 
to the industry and to the public.' ''
    4. We have identified approximately 396 rule provisions and rule 
parts, totaling 58,218 words and covering approximately 137 pages in 
the Code of Federal Regulations, that plainly no longer serve the 
public interest because they have sunset by operation of law; \1\ 
govern an expired event; \2\ regulate an

obsolete technology; \3\ regulate virtually a null set of FCC 
licensees; \4\ regulate an outdated market structure; \5\ are no longer 
used in practice by the FCC or licensees; \6\ or are otherwise

    5. Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to section 4(i) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), and 0.331 and 
1.3 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.331 and 1.3, that the June 5, 
2023 date included within Sec.  20.19(b) is extended to December 5, 
2023.
    6. Direct Final Rule Process. In this Direct Final Rule, we follow 
the processes previously outlined by the Commission regarding direct 
final rules, which we briefly summarize here. At times when the 
Commission has found prior notice and comment unnecessary before 
modifying or repealing rules, it simply adopted the relevant rule 
change without any additional process. Although we reserve the right to 
proceed in that manner, we elect in this decision to proceed using what 
is known as a ``direct final rule'' process. By proceeding through a 
direct final rule, the Commission chooses to provide expanded 
opportunities for public comment when it is not legally required to do 
so under the ``good cause'' standard. Under a direct final rule 
process, rule changes are adopted without prior notice and comment, but 
accompanied by an opportunity for the public to file comments--and if 
we conclude that significant adverse comments have been filed, the 
relevant rule changes would not take effect until after a full notice 
and comment process.
    7. In particular, we will publish this item adopting direct final 
rules in the Federal Register, and allow for comment from interested 
parties within 20 days of Federal Register publication. Until 20 days 
after Federal Register publication, this shall be a ``permit-but-
disclose'' proceeding for purposes of our ex parte rules. Because this 
comment process is directed toward the discrete objective of the direct 
final rule process, and to avoid unwarranted delay in that process, we 
prohibit filings addressing the rule changes contemplated in this 
Direct Final Rule more than 20 days after Federal Register publication, 
absent further direction from the Commission published in the Federal 
Register. This both accords with the purpose of the comment process for 
direct final rules, and is similar (though not identical) to actions 
the Commission has taken in other contexts to provide a defined end-
point for public filings to enable the Commission to focus its 
attention on the submissions already before it.
    8. The direct final rules will be effective 60 days after Federal 
Register publication. To the extent that the Commission receives 
comments on these direct final rules, we will evaluate whether they are 
significant adverse comments that warrant further procedures before 
changing the rules. In our assessment, we plan to be guided by ACUS's 
recommendation that ``[a]n agency should consider any comment received 
during direct final rulemaking to be a significant adverse comment if 
the comment explains why: a. The [direct final] rule would be 
inappropriate, including challenges to the rule's underlying premise or 
approach; or b. The [direct final] rule would be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change.''
    9. In the event that we conclude that significant adverse comments 
have been filed, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) will 
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register so that this Direct 
Final Rule does not become effective until any appropriate additional 
procedures have been followed. If significant adverse comments are 
filed only with respect to a subset of the rule revisions addressed by 
this Direct Final Rule, WTB will withdraw the portions of the Direct 
Final Rule that were subject to significant adverse comments. For 
example, if a significant adverse comment is filed regarding a single 
rule within a direct final rule addressing multiple rules, we will 
publish a withdrawal addressing only that rule.
    10. In the event that no comments are filed in response to this 
Direct Final Rule, we do not anticipate publishing a confirmation of 
the effective date in the Federal Register, but simply will allow the 
rule changes to take effect as originally specified. Where comments are 
filed, but none of the comments are significant adverse comments, where 
warranted by the record WTB will issue a Public Notice that will 
briefly explain why any comments filed were not determined to be 
significant adverse comments.

Ordering Clauses

    11. Accordingly, it is ordered that, pursuant to sections 4(i), 
4(j), and 303(r)

[[Page 57703]]

of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), (j), 
303(r), this Direct Final Rule is adopted. Except as specified below, 
this Direct Final Rule shall be effective upon Federal Register 
publication of the rule changes set forth in the Appendix, which also 
shall serve as the date of public notice of that action.
    12. It is further ordered that the amendments of the Commission's 
rules as set forth in the Appendix shall be effective 60 days after 
Federal Register publication. In the event that significant adverse 
comments are filed, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau shall 
publish a timely document in the Federal Register withdrawing the rule 
so that the rule change does not become effective until any additional 
procedures have been followed. In the event that significant adverse 
comments are filed with respect to only a subset of the rule revisions, 
we direct the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau to publish a timely 
document in the Federal Register withdrawing only such rule so that the
