		HOW TO PREPARE COMMENTS FOR THE F.C.C.
		______________________________________

        Comments to the FCC should be on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper
        with the left-hand and top margins being at least 1 1/2
        inches and at least one inch  on  the  right  side  and
        bottom of the page.  Use one side of the paper only and
        double-space your comments, except for long quotations,
        which  may  be  single  spaced.   All  papers  shall be
        typewritten.  Number  your  paragraphs  and   in   your
        comments, refer to the docket paragraph number or rules
        Part number that you are commenting on.

        Be polite and don't insult the  Commission.  Don't  say
        "don't  do" something unless you have an alternative to
	offer, or can list reasons why  it  should not be done.
