and standards. The manufacturer or
importer shall maintain records
indicating such compliance in
accordance with the verification
procedure requirements in part 2,
subpart J of this chapter. For each M–
UDCP model, the manufacturer or
importer shall further submit
documentation verifying compliance
with M-Host UNI–DIR–PICS–IOI–
061101 to the testing laboratory
representing cable television system
operators serving a majority of the cable
television subscribers in the United
States.
47 CFR 76.1203 provides that a
multichannel video programming
distributor may restrict the attachment
or use of navigation devices with its
system in those circumstances where
electronic or physical harm would be
caused by the attachment or operation
of such devices or such devices that
assist or are intended or designed to
assist in the unauthorized receipt of
service. Such restrictions may be
accomplished by publishing and
providing to subscribers standards and
descriptions of devices that may not be
used with or attached to its system.
Such standards shall foreclose the
attachment or use only of such devices
as raise reasonable and legitimate
concerns of electronic or physical harm
or theft of service.
47 CFR 76.1205(a) states that
technical information concerning
interface parameters which are needed
to permit navigation devices to operate
with multichannel video programming
systems shall be provided by the system
operator upon request.
47 CFR 76.1205(b)(1) states a
multichannel video programming
provider that is subject to the
requirements of Section 76.1204(a)(1)
must provide the means to allow
subscribers to self-install the
CableCARD in a CableCARD-reliant
device purchased at retail and inform a
subscriber of this option when the
subscriber requests a CableCARD. This
requirement shall be effective August 1,
2011, if the MVPD allows its subscribers
to self-install any cable modems or
operator-leased set-top boxes and
November 1, 2011 if the MVPD does not
allow its subscribers to self-install any
cable modems or operator-leased set-top
boxes.
47 CFR 76.1205(b)(1)(A) states that
this requirement shall not apply to cases
in which neither the manufacturer nor
the vendor of the CableCARD-reliant
device furnishes to purchasers
appropriate instructions for selfinstallation of a CableCARD, and a
manned toll-free telephone number to
answer consumer questions regarding

Jkt 241001
CableCARD installation but only for so
long as such instructions are not
furnished and the call center is not
offered.
The requirements contained in
Section 76.1205 are intended to ensure
that consumers are able to install
CableCARDs in the devices they
purchase because we have determined
this is essential to a functioning retail
market.
47 CFR 76.1205(b)(2) states effective
August 1, 2011, provide multi-stream
CableCARDs to subscribers, unless the
subscriber requests a single-stream
CableCARD. This requirement will
ensure that consumers have access to
CableCARDs that are compatible with
their retail devices, and can request
such devices from their cable operators.
47 CFR 76.1205(b)(5) requires to
separately disclose to consumers in a
conspicuous manner with written
information provided to customers in
accordance with Section 76.1602, with
written or oral information at consumer
request, and on Web sites or billing
inserts. This requirement is intended to
ensure that consumers understand that
retail options are available and that
cable operators are not subsidizing their
own devices with service fees in
violation of Section 629 of the Act.
47 CFR 76.1207 states that the
Commission may waive a regulation
related to Subpart P (‘‘Competitive
Availability of Navigation Devices’’) for
a limited time, upon an appropriate
showing by a provider of multichannel
video programming and other services
offered over multichannel video
programming systems, or an equipment
provider that such a waiver is necessary
to assist the development or
introduction of a new or improved
multichannel video programming or
other service offered over multichannel
video programming systems,
technology, or products. Such waiver
requests are to be made pursuant to 47
CFR 76.7.
47 CFR 76.1208 states that any
interested party may file a petition to
the Commission for a determination to
provide for a sunset of the navigation
devices regulations on the basis that (1)
the market for multichannel video
distributors is fully competitive; (2) the
market for converter boxes, and
interactive communications equipment,
used in conjunction with that service is
fully competitive; and (3) elimination of
the regulations would promote
competition and the public interest.
47 CFR 15.118(a) and 47 CFR 15.19(d)
(label and information disclosure)—The
U.S. Bureau of the Census reports that,
at the end of 2002, there were 571 U.S.
establishments that manufacture audio

and visual equipment. These
manufacturers already have in place
mechanisms for labeling equipment and
including consumer disclosures in the
form of owners’ manuals and brochures
in equipment packaging. The
Commission estimate that
manufacturers who voluntarily decide
to label their equipment will need no
more than 5 hours to develop a label or
to develop wording for a consumer
disclosure for owners’ manuals/
brochures to be included with the
device. Once developed, we do not
anticipate any ongoing burden
associated with the revision/
modification of the label, if used, or the
disclosure.
Status Reports—Periodic reports are
required from large cable multiple
system operators detailing CableCARD
deployment/support for navigation
devices. (This requirement is specified
in FCC 05–76, CS Docket No. 97–80).
