AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission's amendments to 47 CFR Sections 76.701 and 
76.702, which contained information collection requirements, became 
effective on October 29, 1997. These amendments, which were published 
in the Federal Register on May 23, 1997, relate to implementation of 
the cable television leased access and public, educational, and 
governmental access indecency provisions of the 1992 Cable Act.

published at 62 FR 28371, became effective on October 29, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Meryl S. Icove, Cable Services Bureau, 
(202) 418-7200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    1. On May 7, 1997, the Commission released an order revising its 
indecency rules for leased access and public, educational and 
governmental access channels, a summary of which was published in the 
Federal Register. See 62 FR 28371, May 23, 1997. Because they imposed 
new or modified information collection requirements, 47 CFR Sections 
76.701 and 76.702 could not become effective until approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget (``OMB''). OMB approved these rule 
changes on October 29, 1997.
    2. The Federal Register summary stated that the Commission would 
publish a document confirming the effective date and notifying parties 
that these rules have become effective. The amendments to 47 CFR 
Sections 76.701 and 76.702 became effective on October 29, 1997.
