Abstract:
Section 76.1601 requires that effective April 2, 1993, a cable operator shall provide written notice to any broadcast TV station at least 30 days prior to either deleting from carriage or repositioning that station. Section 76.1607 states that cable operators shall provide written notice by certified mail to all stations carried on its system per the must carry rules at least 60 days prior to any change in the designation of its principal headend. Section 76.1617 states that within 60 days of activation, a cable operator must notify all qualified NCE stations of its designated principal headend by certified mail, must notify all local commercial/NCE stations that may not be entitled to carriage, and must send by certified mail a listing of all broadcast TV stations carried by its system. Section 76.1708(a) states that the operator of every cable TV system shall maintain for public inspection the designation and location of its principal headend. The Commission is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to clarify that although the estimates discussed in the supporting statement for collection 3060-0649 are discussed in terms of applicability to cable operators and systems, the estimates also encompass the extent to which the rules apply to open video system (OVS) operators and systems. Therefore, the information collection requirements that are contained in the rules that are covered under collection 3060-0649 have applied to OVS operators and systems since OVS was created in 1996. The Commission inadvertently omitted OVS operators and systems from the supporting statements. Nothing else is being changed in the collection, including the estimates contained therein. The supporting statement has been updated accordingly.
