This is getting monotonous.... This is, lets see, the fourth time this
popped up in the net in the past 6 months. NO such rulemaking is
pending. There IS no docket number. Some kind soul probably saw this

someone with net access saw it, went into terminal panic overload,
posted it and on, and on, and on.....

excuse for this to pop up again.... <sigh>
