Final answer:

A final rule in the Federal Register is an action that finalizes a regulation, not an announcement of a public hearing. Public comment is sought during the notice-and-comment rulemaking process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that a final rule in the Federal Register notifies you of a public hearing and where it will be held is false. A final rule is an agency action that finalizes a particular regulation, often after the process of notice-and-comment rulemaking. During this process, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and other agencies provide the public with notice that they are considering adopting or modifying rules on a particular topic and they seek the public's comments on this matter. The agency then takes these comments into consideration when developing the final rules. If a hearing is to be held, the announcement of such a hearing would typically be part of the preliminary notice or proposed rulemaking stage rather than in the final rule publication.
