the Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before June 13, 2014. 
If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it 
difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contacts below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, OMB, via 
email Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov; and to Cathy Williams, FCC, via

Docket 97-80 and PP Docket 00-67, modifying the Commission's rules to 
implement Section 629 of the Communications Act (Section 304 of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996). Section 629 of the Communications Act 
directs the Commission to adopt rules to assure the commercial 
availability of ``navigation devices,'' such as cable set-top boxes. 
One rule modification in the Third Report and Order and Order on 
Reconsideration is intended to prohibit price discrimination against 
retail devices. This modification requires cable operators to disclose 
annually the fees for rental of navigation devices and single and 
additional CableCARDs as well as the fees reasonably allocable to the 
rental of single and additional CableCARDs and the rental of operator-
supplied navigation devices if those

devices are included in the price of a bundled offer.
