OCTOBER 1, 1997 MEETING ON FORWARD-LOOKING COST MECHANISM
FOR UNIVERSAL SERVICE SUPPORT FOR NON-RURAL CARRIERS
RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
CC Docket Nos. 96-45 and 97-160

As announced in a previous Public Notice ("Weekly Meetings on Forward-Looking Cost Mechanisms for Universal Service Support," DA 97-1810, rel. Aug. 22, 1997), the Common Carrier Bureau and the staff of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (CC Docket No. 96-45) hold meetings each Wednesday with the proponents of the Hatfield Model and the Benchmark Cost Proxy Model (BCPM) to solicit the model proponents' individual views on the models' current features, the relative merits of the two models, and any changes that the proponents may make in the two models. These meetings are open to the public. These meetings are intended to help the Commission select a forward-looking economic cost mechanism to be used to determine non-rural carriers' cost to provide supported services in rural, insular, and high cost areas. See Federal State Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96-45, Forward- Looking Mechanism for High Cost Support for Non-Rural LECs, CC Docket No. 97-160, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 97-256 (rel. Jul. 18, 1997).
There will be no meeting on Wednesday, October 1, 1997. Instead, a meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 30, 1997. The hour and place will remain unchanged (1:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the conference room of the Universal Service Branch, 2100 M Street, NW, Eighth Floor). Subsequent meetings will be held each Wednesday until further notice. For further information about these meetings, contact Astrid Carlson, (202) 418-7369.
