Adopted:  June 9, 1994                Released:

By the Commission:

1.  The Commission has before it for consideration changes in the
organizations of the Mass Media and Common Carrier Bureaus. 
Implementation of these changes requires amendments to Parts 0
and 1 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.

2.  In order to consolidate processing of requests for licenses
that may be used to provide so-called "wireless cable" services
in one organization, the Commission is transferring
responsibility for MultiPoint Distribution Services and
Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services from the Common
Carrier Bureau to the Mass Media Bureau.  The rules adopted
herein reflect this action.

3.  The amendments adopted pertain to agency organization.  The
prior notice procedure and effective date provisions of Section
553 of the Administrative Procedure Act are therefore
inapplicable.  Authority for the amendments adopted herein is
contained in Sections 4(1), 5(b), 5(c)(1), and 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.  

4.  IT IS ORDERED, effective upon publication in the Federal
Register that Parts 0 and 1 of the Rules and Regulations are
amended as set forth in the Appendix hereto.
