Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Leak Detection and Repair, 42284-42285 [2023-13900]

Download as PDF 42284 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 125 / Friday, June 30, 2023 / Proposed Rules ensure that cable operators and DBS providers present consumers with an easy-to-understand ‘‘all-in’’ subscription price, or whether we need to provide more detail about how cable operators and DBS providers must communicate the price for service and seek comment on these matters. We also considered whether, aside from line-item fees for broadcast television, sports programming (including regional sports programming), and entertainment programming, there are other video programming-related fees that are being categorized as taxes, fees, and surcharges, instead of included in the price for video service. We also considered whether are there also benefits to industry, such as leveling the playing field for MVPDs that do offer transparent pricing. We expect to more fully consider the economic impact and alternatives for small entities following the review of comments and costs and benefits analyses filed in response to the NPRM. Our evaluation of this information will shape the final alternatives we consider, the final conclusion we reach, and any final actions we ultimately take in this proceeding to minimize any significant economic impact that may occur on small entities. Federal Rules that May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict with the Proposed Rule. None. It is ordered that, pursuant to the authority found in sections 1, 4(i), 303(v), 335(a), 632(b), and 642 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 303(v), 335(a), 552(b), and 562, this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is adopted. It is further ordered that the Commission’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a copy of this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, including the Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.
