The party responding to the request needed only file any oral or written response on the other parties to the proceeding.

This treatment is appropriate since presentations to the Advisory Committee, like comments on a Notice of Inquiry, will not directly result in the promulgation of new rules.

We recognize, however, that there is presently pending a docket entitled In the Matter of the Review of the Emergency Alert System, EB Docket 04-296 (``EAS Rulemaking Proceeding''), which is considering several issues to be addressed by the Advisory Committee.

- forfeiture against Saga. Northeast asserts that Saga's violation is especially egregious since Saga previously accused Northeast of a ex parte violation and was therefore well aware of the ex parte rules. 4. Saga responds that Northeast's complaint is without basis. Saga maintains that the ex parte rules do not require it to serve applications on Northeast because 47 C.F.R. 1.1204(a)(1) exempts from the restrictions of the ex parte rules the filing of ``required forms.'' Saga asserts that an application for modification is a ``required form.'' In addition, Saga observes that Northeast provides no specific basis for alleging that Saga lobbied the Commission. Saga thus urges that Northeast's complaint should be stricken as false and a sham and that Northeast should

We also find that Stu-Comm violated section 1.1210 with respect to its solicitation of public comment with respect to CUCB's application. In this regard, we find that the public comment solicited by Stu-Comm did not fall within the viewer/listener exemption set forth in section 1.1204(a)(8) of the Commission's rules. Section 1.1204(a)(8) classifies as exempt a presentation that: is a written presentation made by a listener or viewer of a broadcast station who is not a party . . . and the presentation relates to a pending application that has not been designated for hearing for a new or modified broadcast station or license, for renewal

Accordingly, it asserts that a hearing is required. WJZD's arguments are without legal merit.

- Section 64.1001 of the rules, International Settlements Policy and Waivers, 47 C.F.R. 64.1001. The Commission's ex parte rules are contained in 47 C.F.R. 1.1200, et seq. The Bureau historically has treated requests for waiver filed under Section 64.1001 of the rules as non-restricted proceedings, in the same manner as Section 214(a) proceedings are treated. See 47 C.F.R. 1.1204(a)(ll) & 1.1206(b)(8). Thus, once a waiver request filed under Section 64.1001 is formally opposed, ex parte presentations are permissible, but are subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 1.1206(a). Whether or not a formal opposition has been filed, informal objectors must comply with the disclosure requirements of Section 1.1206 with respect to then- ex parte presentations at all times

- Commission, Washington, D.C. 20554. 42. This Notice can be ordered in large print, audio cassette or on disk, through the FCC's copy contractor, ITS at (202) 857-3800. An unofficial version of the item is available on the FCC's Internet home page at http://www.fcc.gov. 43. There are no ex parte or disclosure requirements applicable to this proceeding pursuant to 47 C.F.R. 1.1204(a)(4). VI. CONCLUSION; ORDERING CLAUSES 44. We believe that our action today constitutes a significant first step toward implementing the provisions of Section 255 and related sections of the 1996 Act regarding the accessibility of telecommunications equipment and services to persons with disabilities. In seeking comment from a broad spectrum of affected parties, we hope to ensure that persons with disabilities,
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/2000/da000452.doc
- other parties an opportunity to review these facts, and then assess Motorola's request in light of the facts and relevant law. DISCUSSION We disagree with Petitioners' claim that Bureau staff violated the agency's ex parte rules. Section 1.1208 of our rules prohibits ex parte presentations, to or from Commission staff, in restricted proceedings, unless the presentation is exempt under Section 1.1204(b). Pursuant to Section 1.1204(b)(7), in force at the time the application was filed, ex parte communications by the Commission or staff requesting information to clarify or adduce evidence or to resolve issues were exempt from the ex parte prohibition. The party responding to the request needed only file any oral or written response on the other parties to the proceeding.

- March 11, 2003 and in response to questions from the staff. 15 Because of the nexus between the formal complaints and the Investigation, the Bureau treated the Investigation as a restricted proceeding under section 1.1208 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.1208. As a result, the Bureau included Touch America in correspondence between Qwest and the Commission. Pursuant to section 1.1204(a)(10) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.1204(a)(10), the Commission and Qwest conducted bi-lateral settlement discussions. All of the information provided by Qwest during those settlement discussions ``relat[ed] to how a proceeding should or could be settled, as opposed to new information regarding the merits.''

- the FCC's review of the merger between the Applicants. This limited waiver also permits the FTC to allow inspection by the FCC of the H-S-R Materials in the FTC's possession. As noted in the enclosed letter to the FCC, this waiver is based on the Applicants' understanding that the discussions will be treated as exempt ex parte presentations under Section 1.1204 (a)(6) of the FCC Rules (47 C.F.R. 1.204 (a)(6)) and will not be disclosed, except as required under that Section.
