dial 202/418-2830, follow the steps and request a document and it will be sent directly to
their fax machine.  Please use the following instructions to guide you:


FAX ON DEMAND


The FCC's fax on demand service allows reporters and others to call in from a fax machine
and receive up-to-date information.  

To receive this information, call 202/418-2830 and press 1 for a listing of fax on demand
indexes.  This will take you to a menu from which you may:

      press 1 for an index of news releases
      press 2 for an index of speeches
      press 3 for an index of fact sheets
      press 4 for a listing of FCC current events
      press 5 for an index of Public Notices 
      press 6 for a listing of all indexes.  

After you select one of those options, enter your fax number, and the pound sign (#) and the
index will be sent to you.  

Once you receive the index, select the document you would like to receive, call the FCC fax
on demand, press 2 to request a document by document number, enter the document number
(found on the list that was just faxed to you) and press the pound sign (#), enter your fax
number, then the pound sign (#) and the document will be faxed to you.  [**Auction
information can be found in the news release and public notice index]

The current day's information is posted no later than 11 a.m.  However, if you call before
that time you receive information from the previous day.
