ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, FCC, 
(202) 418-0300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Monday, October 22, 2001, the Commission 
will resume accepting hand-delivered or messenger-delivered paper 
filings only at our Capitol Heights facility located at 9300 East 
Hampton Drive, Capitol Heights, MD 20743. To accommodate this change in 
location, the time deadline for filing at the Capitol Heights facility 
is extended hereafter to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Filings received at the 
Capitol Heights facility will be date-stamped. Filings made pursuant to 
47 CFR 1.13(a) should also be made at the Capitol Heights facility 
where they will be date and time stamped. Subpoenas directed to the 
Commission or its employees in their official capacities will be 
received only at the Capitol Heights facility. The Commission is 
currently looking for an alternative site in Washington, DC, to accept 
delivery of filings on a more permanent basis. The public will be 
notified of that location as quickly as possible.
    We encourage our customers to make full use of the Commission's 
electronic filings systems to facilitate the filing of documents.
    Filings and other documents sent to the Commission by United States 
Postal Service or overnight delivery services should continue to be 
addressed to the Commission at 445--12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20554. The Commission itself will divert those deliveries to the 
Capitol Heights facility.
    This notice supersedes any Commission rules permitting the hand 
filing of documents at the Commission's headquarters.
    The Commission finds it necessary at this time to make these 
changes to its procedures to protect the health and safety of its 
employees and therefore finds good cause to make them effective as 
expeditiously as possible in accordance with this notice.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
