    Needs and Uses: Section 76.922(h) enables cable operators in some 
circumstances to increase rates when undertaking significant network 
upgrades. The FCC Form 1235 ``Abbreviated Cost of Service Filing for 
Cable Network Upgrades'', is to be used by cable operators when 
undertaking these upgrades. This form allows cable operators to justify 
rate increases related to capital expenditures used to improve services 
to regulated cable subscribers. Operators wishing to establish a 
network upgrade rate increase should file this form following the end 
of month in which upgrade cable services become available and are 
providing benefits to the customers. In addition, this form can be 
filed for pre-approval any time prior to the upgraded services becoming 
available to the subscribers using projected upgrade costs. If the pre-
approval option is exercised, the operator must file the form again 
following the end of the month in which upgrade cable services become 
available and are providing benefits to customers of regulated 
services, using actual costs where applicable.
    Fax Document Retrieval Number: 601235.
