ERRATUM
Released:  March 1, 2021

By the General Counsel and the Managing Director:

On January 14, 2021, the Commission released an Order, FCC 21-17, in the above-captioned proceeding.  This Erratum replaces the Appendix to the Order to conform to the publishing conventions of the National Archives and Records Administration’s Office of the Federal Register.  Pursuant to authority delegated to the Managing Director in 47 CFR § 0.231(b), we also remove the notes following paragraphs (b) and (d) of 47 CFR § 1.104, which refer to text that no longer appears in those paragraphs and thus have no current effect.  See new Appendix attached.
