FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
 

Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

December 8, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of this submission may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW., Suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For 
further information on this submission contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214. Persons wishing to comment 
on this information collection should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10214 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 
395-3561.

OMB Number: 3060-0595.
    Title: Updating Maximum Permitted Rates for Regulated Cable 
Services ``Update Form''.
    Form Number: FCC Form 1210.
    Action:  Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: State, local governments and businesses or other for-
profit.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 33,600 responses, 11 hours average burden 
per response, 69,600 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: On 2/22/94, the Commission adopted a Second Order 
on Reconsideration, Fourth Report and Order, and Fifth Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking in MM Docket No. 92-266, Implementation of Sections 
of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 
1992, Rate Regulation. Using a more sophisticated economic model, we 
have recalculated the competitive differential to reflect a more 
accurate estimate of the difference between competitive and 
noncompetitive cable rates. In addition, we have improved the measure 
of equipment and installation revenues. On 11/10/94, the Commission 
adopted a Sixth Order on Reconsideration, Fifth Report and Order, and 
Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, referred to as the ``Going 
Forward'' order. This Order further revised its rules for rate 
adjustments when channels are added or deleted, or new programming 
service tier channels are added or deleted, or new programming service 
tiers are established. To reflect the new rule sections adopted by the 
Commission, Section 76.922(e)(1) and (2), we are expanding the 
Instructions for FCC Form 1210, to enable cable operators to implement 
the revised methodology reflected in these rules. It is anticipated 
that these additional instructions will be used on an interim basis 
between January 1, 1995 and March 31, 1995, for operators who choose to 
use the new methodology. A revised version of the FCC Form 1210 that is 
being submitted to OMB for approval will become effective April 1, 
1995.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
