the Commission to publish annually a

basic cable service, cable programming
service, and equipment. The report must
compare the prices charged by cable
operators subject to ‘‘effective
competition’’ and those not subject to
effective competition. The data from
these supplemental questions are
needed to complete this report.
The Commission determined that a
small number of additional questions
related to the cable industry’s carriage of
digital broadcast signals would be
needed to complete the 2007/2008
report on cable industry prices that will
be prepared later this year based on the
findings from the survey. The increased
burden to this information collection
represents the burden associated with
the supplemental questionnaire.
