            5             MS. MA:  Ms. Richmond, next item.  

            6             MS. RICHMOND:  Our next item are Chief 

            7    Counsel Matters.  Item J Rulemaking; J1 Readoption 

            8    of Proposed Prepaid Mobile Telephony Service 

            9    Regulation 2460, Administration.  

           10             MS. MA:  Okay.  This item does require a 

           11    vote.  So, to the Department, Mr. Kwee, please 

           12    commence your presentation.  Introduce yourself for 

           13    the record.  

           14             MR. KWEE:  Yes.  Good afternoon, Chairwoman 

           15    Ma and Members of the Board.  I am Andrew Kwee with 

           16    the Board's Legal Department; and with me today is 

           17    Bradley Heller, also with the Legal Department.  

           18             We are here to request that the Board vote 

           19    to readopt proposed Regulation 2460, Administration 

           20    with grammatical nonsubstantial and sufficiently 

           21    related changes that the Board authorized staff to 

           22    make last month.  

           23             The sufficiently related changes address 

           24    clarity issues that were raised by the Office of 

           25    Administrative Law staff, and they ensure that the 

           26    regulation clearly prescribes the requirements for 

           27    sellers, other than direct sellers, to register for 

           28    prepaid MTS account with the Board.  




                                                                     3




                                                                      


            1             Staff provided interested parties with an 

            2    opportunity to comment on the changes to the 

            3    original proposed text of Regulation 2460.  And 

            4    staff received one public comment, and that was from 

            5    MuniServices, and that was in support of readoption 

            6    of Regulation 2460 with these changes.  

            7             Thank you.  

            8             MS. MA:  Okay.  Discussion, Members?  

            9             Seeing none, okay -- 

           10             MS. STOWERS:  Move adoption.  

           11             MS. MA:  Is there a second?  

           12             MR. HORTON:  Second.  

           13             MS. MA:  Okay.  Ms. Stowers moves, Mr. 

           14    Horton seconds, to adopt staff recommendation.  

           15             Without objection, motion carries.
