Abstract:
Section 623(k) of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 ("1992 Cable Act") requires the Commission to publish an annual statistical report on average rates for basic cable service, cable programming service and equipment. The report must compare the prices charged by cable by systems subject to effective competition and those not subject to effective competition. The price survey is intended to collect data needed to prepare this report. This information collection is being revised due to a small number of changes to the currently approved questionnaire. The Commission edited question 19 of the questionnaire in order to clarify the wording and also the Commission added some additional instructions in Section B. These changes did not impact on the burden estimate. The change in burden is due to an increase in the number of effective competition cable systems and associated increased variability in price responses.
