1998 Biennial Regulatory Review

Section 11 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), requires that the Commission, in every even-numbered year beginning in 1998, review all regulations that apply to the operations and activities of any provider of telecommunications service and determine whether any of these regulations are no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of the service. As part of its 1998 biennial regulatory review, the Commission revised part 61 to, among other things, eliminate several rules that no longer seem to serve any useful purpose, and to reorganize part 61 to clarify which rules apply to which carriers.
