 ERRATUM 
 Released:  May  26,  2004 
 By  the  Assistant  Division  Chief,  Telecommunications  Access  Policy  Division,  Wireline  Competition  Bureau: 


 On  April  29,  2004,  a  Report  and  Order  and  Further  Notice  of  Proposed  Rulemaking  was  released  modifying  the  Commission’s  rules  to  improve  the  effectiveness  of  the  low-  income  support  mechanism, 
 which  ensures  that  quality  telecommunications  services  are  available  to  low-  income  consumers  at  just,  reasonable,  and  affordable  rates.  1  Further,  the  Commission  sought  comment  on  whether  the  inclusion  of  a 
 broader  income-  based  criterion  in  the  federal  default  eligibility  criteria  would  further  increase  Lifeline/  Link-  Up  subscription  rates  and  whether  adoption  of  rules  governing  advertisement  of  the 
 Lifeline/  Link-  Up  programs  would  strengthen  the  program.  2 
 This  erratum  corrects  the  following  errors  in  the  released  document: 
 1.  Replacing  Paragraph  60  with  the  following  text:  “The  action  contained  herein  has  been  analyzed  with  respect  to  the  Paperwork  Reduction  Act  of  1995  and  found  to  impose 
 new  or  modified  reporting  and  recordkeeping  requirements  or  burdens  on  the  public.  Implementation  of  these  new  or  modified  reporting  and  recordkeeping  requirements  will 
 be  subject  to  approval  by  the  Office  of  Management  and  Budget  (OMB)  as  prescribed  by  the  Act,  and  will  go  into  effect  upon  announcement  in  the  Federal  Register  of  OMB 
 approval.” 
 2.  In  the  first  sentence  of  Paragraph  61,  replacing  “Report  and  Order”  with  “Further  Notice”  so  the  sentence  shall  read:  “Pursuant  to  sections  1.415  and  1.419  of  the 


 Commission’s  rules,  interested  parties  may  file  comments  not  later  than  60  days  after  publication  of  the  Further  Notice  in  the  Federal  Register  and  may  file  reply  comments 
 not  later  than  105  days  after  publication  of  the  Further  Notice  in  the  Federal  Register.” 
 3.  Deleting  Paragraph  67.
