FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
December 4, 2007.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to (PRA) of
1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control
number. Subject to the PRA, no person shall be subject to any penalty
for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not
display a valid control number. Comments are requested concerning (a)
whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including
whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy
of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February
11, 2008. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: You may submit all PRA comments by e-mail or U.S. post mail.
To submit your comments by e-mail, send them to PRA@fcc.gov. To submit
your comments by U.S. mail, mark them to the attention of Cathy
Williams, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C823, 445 12th
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
information collection(s), contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918 or
send an e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0669.
Title: Section 76.946, Advertising of Rates.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 8,250.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 4,125 hours.
Total Annual Costs: None.
Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.946 states that cable operators that
advertise for basic service and cable programming service tiers shall
be required to advertise rates that include all costs and fees. Cable
systems that cover multiple franchise areas having differing franchise
fees or other franchise costs, different channel line-ups, or different
rate structures, may advertise a complete range of fees without
specific identification of the rate for each individual area. In such
circumstances, the operator may advertise a ``fee plus'' rate that
indicates the core rate plus the range of possible additions, depending
upon the particular location of the subscriber. The Commission has set
forth this disclosure requirement to ensure consumer awareness of all
fees associated with basic service and cable programming service tier
rates.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
