 DA  05-  2001 
 WT  Docket  No.  02-  318 
 This  Guide  is  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Section  212  of  the  Small  Business  Regulatory  Enforcement  Fairness  Act  of  1996.  It  is  intended 
 to  help  small  entities—  small  businesses,  small  organizations  (non-  profits),  and  small  governmental  jurisdictions—  to  comply  with  the  new  rule/  s  adopted  in  the 
 above-  referenced  FCC  rulemaking  docket/  s.  This  Guide  is  not  intended  to  replace  the  rule/  s  and,  therefore,  final  authority  rests  solely  with  the  rule/  s. 
 Although  we  have  attempted  to  cover  all  parts  of  the  rule/  s  that  might  be  especially  important  to  small  entities,  the  coverage  may  not  be  exhaustive.  As  a 
 result,  in  any  civil  or  administrative  action  against  a  small  entity  for  a  violation  of  a  rule  or  rules,  the  content  of  the  Small  Entity  Compliance  Guide  may  be 
 considered  only  as  evidence  of  the  reasonableness  or  appropriateness  of  proposed  fines,  penalties  or  damages.  This  Guide  may  not  apply  in  a  particular 
 situation  based  upon  the  circumstances,  and  the  FCC  retains  the  discretion  to  adopt  approaches  on  a  case-  by-  case  basis  that  may  differ  from  this  Guide,  where 
 appropriate.  Any  decisions  regarding  a  particular  small  entity  will  be  based  on  the  statute  and  regulations.  Interested  parties  are  free  to  file  comments 
 regarding  this  Guide  and  the  appropriateness  of  its  application  to  a  particular  situation;  the  FCC  will  consider  whether  the  recommendations  or 
 interpretations  in  the  Guide  are  appropriate  in  that  situation.  The  FCC  may  decide  to  revise  this  Guide  without  public  notice  to  reflect  changes  in  the  FCC’s 
 approach  to  implementing  a  rule,  or  to  clarify  or  update  the  text  of  the  Guide.  Direct  your  comments  and  recommendations,  or  calls  for  further  assistance,  to
