October 15, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC, Commission, or Agency) proposes to rename and modify an existing system of records, FCC/OMD-13, Information Quality Comments (formerly: FCC/OMD-13, Data Quality Comments), subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the agency. The FCC's Performance Evaluation and Records Management (PERM) division in the Office of Managing Director uses this system to store the public comments (submitted since FY 2003) on information disseminated by the FCC, as required under the Data Quality Act of 2001 and OMB regulations.

In this document, the Commission seeks comment on two cable franchising issues raised by the remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Montgomery County, Md. et al. v. FCC. The Commission tentatively concludes that, with limited exceptions, ``cable-related, in-kind contributions'' required by a franchising agreement should be treated as ``franchise fees'' subject to the statutory five percent cap on franchise fees set forth in Communications Act. It also tentatively concludes that the mixed-use network ruling should be applied to incumbent cable operators to prohibit LFAs from using their video franchising authority to regulate the provision of most non-cable services, including telecommunications services and information services such as broadband internet access service, offered over a cable system by an incumbent cable operator. These tentative conclusions are intended to promote competition by fostering parity between incumbents and new entrants and helping to ensure that local franchising requirements do not discourage cable operators from investing in new facilities and services.
