    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105473
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a correcting amendment to fix an error in a previous rule regarding the Universal Service Fund's high-cost program. This correction was initially published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2024. The rule involves changes to part 36 of CFR, which deals with procedures for dividing telecommunications costs. It also includes guidelines for local exchange carriers on filing petitions for changes in study area boundaries.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC made a small fix to some rules about how the money for phones and internet is shared to make sure everyone can connect, but they didn't say exactly what the mistake was. They also mention special rules for phone companies to change where they work, but it's not very clear what those rules are.
