Abstract: On August 1, 2011, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order ("Second R&O"), Leased Commercial Access; Development of Competition and Diversity in Video Programming Distribution and Carriage, MB Docket No. 11-131, FCC 11-119. In the Second R&O, the Commission took initial steps to improve the procedures for addressing program carriage complaints by: (i) codifying in the Commission's rules what a program carriage complainant must demonstrate in its complaint to establish a prima facie case of a program carriage violation; (ii) providing the defendant with 60 days (rather than the current 30 days) to file an answer to a program carriage complaint; (iii) establishing deadlines for action by the Media Bureau and Administrative Law Judges ("ALJ") when acting on program carriage complaints; and (iv) establishing procedures for the Media Bureau's consideration of requests for a temporary standstill of the price, terms, and other conditions of an existing programming contract by a program carriage complainant seeking renewal of such a contract. This non-substantial change request is being submitted to OMB to reflect the change in the treatment of exclusive contracts in served areas and the increase in burden hours resulting from additional program access complaints that may be filed as a result of this change.
