VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:50 Aug 01, 2008
Jkt 214001
must provide to the subscribers on
monthly bills the name, mailing address
and phone number of the franchising
authority, unless the franchising
authority in writing requests that the
cable operator omits such information.
The cable operator must also provide
subscribers with the FCC community
unit identifier for the cable system in
their communities.
47 CFR Section 76.990(b)(1) requires
that a small cable operator, may certify
in writing to its franchise authority at
any time that it meets all criteria
necessary to qualify as a small operator.
Upon request of the local franchising
authority, the operator shall identify in
writing all of its affiliates that provide
cable service, the total subscriber base of
itself and each affiliate, and the
aggregate gross revenues of its cable and
non-cable affiliates. Within 90 days of
receiving the original certification, the
local franchising authority shall
determine whether the operator
qualifies for deregulation and shall
notify the operator in writing of its
decision, although this 90-day period
shall be tolled for so long as it takes the
operator to respond to a proper request
for information by the local franchising
authority. An operator may appeal to
the Commission a local franchise
authority’s information request if the
operator seeks to challenge the
information request as unduly or
unreasonably burdensome. If the local
franchising authority finds that the
operator does not qualify for
deregulation, its notice shall state the
grounds for that decision. The operator
may appeal the local franchising
authority’s decision to the Commission
within 30 days.
47 CFR Section 76.990(b)(3) requires
that within 30 days of being served with
a local franchising authority’s notice
that the local franchising authority
intends to file a cable programming
services tier rate complaint, an operator
may certify to the local franchising
authority that it meets the criteria for
qualification as a small cable operator.
This certification shall be filed in
accordance with the cable programming
services rate complaint procedure set
forth in § 76.1402. Absent a cable
programming services rate complaint,
the operator may request a declaration
of CPST rate deregulation from the
Commission pursuant to § 76.7.
On March 26, 1999, the Commission
released a Report and Order, FCC 99–
12, CS Docket 98–132, that among other
things removed the requirements of
76.1404. With this submission we have
removed the associated burdens.
