and Order in MM Docket No. 95–
176.The Commission modified the rules

process constitutes an unreasonable
barrier to entry for competitive entrants
that impede enhanced cable
competition and accelerated broadband
deployment. The information collection
requirements adopted as a result of FCC
06–180 are as follows:
47 CFR 76.41(b) requires a
competitive franchise applicant to
include the following information in

the name and contact information of a
designated contact for the applicant; (5)
a description of the geographic area that
the applicant proposes to serve; (6) the
PEG channel capacity and capital
support proposed by the applicant; (7)
the term of the agreement proposed by
the applicant; (8) whether the applicant
holds an existing authorization to access
the public rights–of–way in the subject
franchise service area; (9) the amount of
the franchise fee the applicant offers to
pay; and (10) any additional information
required by applicable state or local
laws.
47 CFR 76.41 (d) states when a
competitive franchise applicant files a
franchise application with a franchising
authority and the applicant has existing
authority to access public rights–of–way
in the geographic area that the applicant
proposes to serve, the franchising
authority grant or deny the application
within 90 days of the date the
application is received by the
franchising authority. If a competitive
franchise applicant does not have
existing authority to access public
rights–of–way in the geographic area
that the applicant proposes to serve, the
franchising authority must perform
grant or deny the application within 180
days of the date the application is
received by the franchising authority. A
franchising authority and a competitive
franchise applicant may agree in writing
to extend the 90–day or 180–day
deadline, whichever is applicable.
