   Adopted: September 15, 1998          Released: September 15, 1998  


By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology:

     1.  On October 22, 1991, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry ("NOI"), 6 FCC Rcd 6501
(1991), to solicit information from interested parties to assist the Commission in shaping its position on
international standards to control radio noise generated by Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) equipment.
We also sought information about the desirability and feasibility of harmonizing Part 18 of the FCC rules with
the international standards for ISM equipment.

     2.  Comments received in response to the NOI overwhelmingly opposed any changes to the ISM rules. 
We do not contemplate any general changes to the ISM rules at this time. Therefore, we are terminating this
proceeding.  Specific issues concerning the ISM rules are being addressed in separate proceedings. 

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that this proceeding, ET Docket No. 91-313, IS TERMINATED. 
This action is taken pursuant to authority in Sections 4(i), 302 and 303 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i),  302, 303; and pursuant to Sections 0.31 and 0.241 of the Commission's
Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.31, 0.241.  For further information contact Nancy Walls, Office of Engineering and
Technology, (202) 418-2454.
