and interference from a multichannel video programming distributor, 
access to molding and customer pre-termination access to cable home

of the information collection requirements in 47 CFR 76.613, 76.802 and 
76.804. OMB approved the rule changes on March 13, 1998.
    2. The order stated that the rules as amended would become 
effective upon approval by OMB, and that the Commission would publish a 
document announcing the effective date of the rules. The amendments to
