SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0589. Title: FCC Remittance Advice and Continuation Sheet, Bill for Collection, FCC Remittance Advice for Regulatory Fees (E-Form). Form Number(s): FCC Forms 159, 159–C, 159–B, 159–E, and 159–W. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal government; and State, local, or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 156,000. Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours (15 minutes). Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting requirements; Third party disclosure. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Total Annual Burden: 39,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: None. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impacts. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the FCC. Respondents PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 may, however, request confidential treatment for information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR Section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: On August 6, 2007, the FCC released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (‘‘R&O and FNPRM’’), In the Matter of Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2007, MD Docket No. 07–81, FCC 07–XX, in which it applied regulatory fee obligations to interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers. As a result of this action, the FCC is modifying FCC Form 159, 159–C, and 159–E to accommodate this new category of entities subject to regulatory fees. The Commission created a streamlined electronic form, FCC Form 159–E, to associate a mailed or faxed payment with regulatory fees, which are filed on-line. Pertinent information is taken directly from the regulatory fee electronic filing system (Fee Filer) and populated on the FCC Form 159–E, which can be printed by the filer. The FCC Form 159–E, essentially a simple payment voucher, contains summary information, which distinguishes the payment but not detailed information about the fee(s). Specific associated fee information is available on a separate report, which the filer does not need to remit. Beginning with the FY 2005 regulatory fees, the Commission has required FCC Form 159–E to accompany all payments derived from the regulatory fee electronic filing system, except on-line payments, which do not require any paper submission. Payment may be made by check or money order, credit card or wire transfer. The Commission uses this information to apply credit for the remittance against all regulatory fees within the associated electronic submission. The payment instrument must be in the dollar amount specified on the FCC Form 159–E for full credit to be applied. Expanded use of the FCC Form 159– E is possible in the future as additional streamlining for this process is implemented. This form may be used in lieu of pre-populated FCC Form 159s, which are currently produced to facilitate remittance for various electronic filings. The FCC Form 159–E may, therefore, impact users of all electronic filing systems, as well as users of an FCC bill paying system (currently Fee Filer and the Red Light Display system). This information collection may affect some individuals or households; however, the Commission has in place a registration process https:// E:\FR\FM\10DEN1.SGM 10DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 236 / Monday, December 10, 2007 / Notices www.fcc.gov, which issues a Federal Registration Number (FRN) to each applicant/licensee, etc., for use in filing any of these FCC Forms 159/159–C, 159–B, 159–E, and/or 159–W. As part of the registration process, the applicant/ licensee’s SSN or TIN is stored in a secure environment, which minimizes any potential privacy risks. The Commission is merging 3060–0949, Interstate Telephone Service Provider Worksheet, FCC Form 159–W, into this information collection. Once approved by OMB, the Commission will cancel 3060–0949. The FCC bills telecommunications licensees and permittees using the FCC Form 159–W as the invoice. The FCC developed FCC Form 159–W to provide a convenient format for these telecommunications licensees and permittees to verify the information that is extracted from the interstate revenue information (which are already ‘‘populated’’ on this form), to verify the simple calculation of the fee amount that is due, and to correct any inaccuracies as necessary. The FCC uses this form to bill the telecommunications licensee or permittee the amount of its regulatory fee. The FCC is making minor revisions to FCC Form 159–W to provide a clearer format. Respondents may access FCC Form 159–W on line through the FCC’s Web page: https:// www.fcc.gov/frnreg if they wish to submit payment prior to being billed. Federal Communications Commission.

Notice must be given to subscribers a minimum of thirty (30) days in advance of such changes if the change is within the control of the cable operator. In addition, the cable operator shall notify subscribers 30 days in advance of any significant changes in the other information required by Section 76.1602. 47 CFR n 76.1603(c) states that in addition to the requirement set forth in Section 76.1603(b) regarding advance notification to customers of any changes in rates, programming services or channel positions, cable systems shall give 30 days written notice to both subscribers and local franchising authorities before implementing any rate or service change. Such notice shall state the precise amount of any rate change and briefly explain in readily understandable fashion the cause of the rate change (e.g. inflation, changes in external costs or the addition/deletion of channels). When the change involves the addition or deletion of channels, each channel added or deleted must be separately identified. Section 76.1602(c) requires cable operators to inform subscribers in writing of their right to file complaints about changes in cable programming service tier rates and services, and shall provide the address and phone number of the local franchising authority. 47 CFR 76.1619(b) states that in case of a billing dispute, the cable operator must respond to a written complaint from a subscriber within 30 days. In addition, Section 76.1619 sets forth requirements for information on subscriber bills. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.
