Harmonization of U.S. Network Protection Standard With Canadian Network Protection Standard

On February 2, 1996, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). The NPRM is intended to address issues associated with ``harmonizing'' U.S. and Canadian requirements for connection of terminal equipment to the public switched network. It seeks comment on whether amending of the Commission's rules regarding network protection would foster greater efficiencies in manufacturing terminal equipment without threatening the reliability of the public network. The Commission's network protection rules govern the terms and conditions under which customer-provided terminal equipment may be connected to the network.
