    SUMMARY:

    On December 5, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) revised Commission rules. That item showed the Commission's adoption of new rules to implement the Safe Connections Act of 2022. When published in the Federal Register , however, an additional change was made that was different from the item adopted by the Commission. This correction reverts the language of the rule to the language as adopted by the Commission.
