We therefore retain sections 54.303(b)(1)-(3) because they remain necessary in the public interest. Section 54.313 provides certification deadlines associated with long term support for non-rural carriers. The Commission proposed to delete sections 54.313(d)(1) and (2) because these provisions appear to have expired by their own terms. No parties submitted comments related to these expired provisions.
