authority for this collection of
information is contained in the
Telecommunications Act of 1996,
Public Law 104–104, Sections 301 and
302, 110 Stat. 56, 114–124.
Total Annual Burden: 210 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.952 states
that all cable operators 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 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 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

services rate complaint, the operator
may request a declaration of CPST rate
deregulation from the Commission
pursuant to § 76.7.
