FurchtgottRoth l  a8  In re: Notice of Proposed Rule Making l  a28`. 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review Reform of the International  Settlements Policy and Associated Filing Requirements l  aP8lVl Vl VI support adoption of this NPRM. In my view, any reduction of unnecessary regulatory burdens is beneficial. To that extent, this item is good and I am all for it. This item should not, however, be mistaken for complete compliance with Section 11 of the Communications Act.   a 8As I have explained previously, the FCC is not planning to "review all regulations issued under this Act . . . that apply to the operations or activities of any provider of telecommunications service," as required under Subsection 11(a)  a8in 1998 (emphasis added). See generally 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review  a8Review of Computer III  and ONA Safeguards and Requirements  , 13 FCC Rcd  a86040 (released Jan. 30, 1998).  Nor has the Commission issued general principles to guide our public interest analysis and decisionmaking process across the wide range of FCC regulations. In one important respect, however, the FCC's current efforts are more ambitious and difficult than I believe are required by the Communications Act. Subsection 11(a) "Biennial Review" requires only that the Commission  a8"determine whether any such regulation is no longer necessary in the public interest" (emphasis added). It is pursuant to Subsection 11(b) "Effect of Determination" that regulations determined to be no longer in the public interest must be repealed or modified. Thus, the repeal or modification of our rules, which requires notice and comment rule making proceedings, need not be accomplished during the year of the biennial review. Yet the Commission plans to complete roughly thirty such proceedings this year. I encourage parties to participate in these thirty rule making proceedings. I also suggest that parties submit to the Commission either informally or as a formal filing specific suggestions of rules we might determine this year to be no longer necessary in the public interest as well as ideas for a thorough review of all our rules pursuant to Subsection 11(a).  a(8@i* * * * * * *#Xj\  P6G;ynXP#
