FurchtgottRoth T  X-K  In re: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking T  X-Cm 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review Streamlining of Mass Media Applications, Rules,  Xv-&and Processes  $&A #|\  P6G;P# $&A  TPT  ai<TPT PxI support adoption of this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. To my mind, any reduction in paperwork obligations or simplification of our procedural rules for regulated entities or "streamlining" is always a plus. To that extent, this item is good policy and I am all for it.  a < xThis item should not, however, be mistaken for compliance with section 11 of the Communications Act. xFirst of all, section 11 requires a biennial review of all regulations that  a<govern the operations of "any provider of telecommunications service." 47 U.S.C. section 161(a)(1). It does not by its terms apply to regulations governing those in the broadcasting and cable business, unless they also provide telecommunications service. I therefore understand this mass media item to be premised not on the biennial review requirement of section 11 (notwithstanding the caption, which suggests otherwise) but on our general authority to change  a<our rules when appropriate under section 4(i), id. section 154(i), and related  a <provisions of the Communications Act. ` X-ԍSection 202(h) mandates a review of certain broadcast rules as a part of the section 11 Biennial Review, but only of "ownership" rules, which does not include the regulations at issue here. xSecond, this item focuses mainly, as do some "pure" section 11 items that  a*<we have issued,*K` XG!-ԍBy this I mean items regarding rules applicable to telecommunications service providers. on procedural rules governing filings at the Commission as opposed to substantive rules that limit what companies can do in the  a><marketplace, e.g., regulations that restrict market entry or limit market share. As stated above, it is certainly important that in the course of the Biennial Review we evaluate our procedural rules and modify or eliminate them if  a_ <necessary. But section 11 requires us to look at both procedural and substantive rules and make an affirmative finding of their continued necessity. "v"0*0*0*T$"ԌxIf all we do is "streamline" certain procedures at the Commission, without also examining all pertinent substantive rules and making the statutorilyrequired determinations of necessity, we will fail to meet the express directive of section  a<11. xAs I have previously explained, I question whether the FCC is prepared to meet its statutory obligation to review all of the regulations covered by section  a<<11 in 1998. See generally 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review Review of  aI<Computer III  and ONA Safeguards and Requirements  , 12 FCC Rcd __ (Jan. 29,  aV<1998).  To my knowledge, the FCC has no plans to review affirmatively  all  regulations applicable to the operations or activities of telecommunications providers and to make specific findings as to their continued necessity. Nor has the Commission issued general principles to guide our public interest analysis and decisionmaking process across the wide range of FCC regulations. x We should not let this item, which does not relate to telecommunications rules and focuses almost exclusively on procedural matters, or any other limited Commission analysis be mistaken for full compliance with Section 11.  a<,i* * * * * * *#Xj\  P6G;ߊXP#
