Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small entities subject to the rule. This final action would reduce burden on the affected state and local monitoring agencies by delaying implementation and the associated costs of PAMS monitoring by 2 years. We have, therefore, concluded that this action will relieve regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities. action’’ in section 2–202 of the Executive order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk. E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission 
(Commission), Managing Director, adopted an Order implementing non-
substantive revisions of the Commission's rules to eliminate a 
redundant provision and modify related rules for consistency with the 
amendments that the Commission adopted in a Report and Order published 
in the Federal Register.

DATES: Effective on January 8, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Daly, Office of Managing 
Director at (202) 418-1832.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Order, 
DA 19-1240, released December 6, 2016. The full text of this document

    In the Report and Order, FCC 19-79, 84 FR 43705, August 22, 2019, 
the Commission revised 47 CFR parts 1, 20, and 43 of the Commission's 
rules to create a new Digital Opportunity Data Collection program and 
to modify its existing FCC Form 477 Data Program. This Order implements 
related revisions to eliminate redundancy and conform other rules to 
the amendments adopted in the Report and Order.
    Specifically, both Sec. Sec.  1.7002 and 43.01(d) of the 
Commission's rules (47 CFR 1.7002, 43.01(d)) establish requirements 
regarding the frequency and content of FCC Form 477 filings. This Order 
eliminates this potentially confusing redundancy by deleting Sec.  
43.01(d). In turn, the deletion of

[[Page 838]]

paragraph (d) of Sec.  43.01 requires that paragraph (b) of Sec.  43.01 
be amended to remove the cross-reference to the deleted paragraph (d).

contains references to Sec. Sec.  1.7001 and 43.11 (47 CFR 1.7001, 
43.11) that are inconsistent with the Commission's recent amendment of 
Sec.  1.7001 and its repeal of Sec.  43.11. Accordingly, this Order 
removes Sec.  43.01(d), revises Sec. Sec.  20.15(b)(1) and 43.01(b) for 
conformity with these rule amendments, and corrects an error in Sec.  
1.7001(a)(2)(iv). These changes should not be construed to change any 
substantive requirements.
