SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
were adopted in Implementation of Section 302 of the Telecommunications 
Act of 1996, Open Video Systems (``Fourth Report and Order''). The 
Fourth Report and Order amended our regulations to reflect the 
provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the ``1996 Act'') 
which pertain to the filing requirements for certification 
applications, comments and oppositions, Notices of Intent and 
complaints concerning channel carriage.

Need For Correction

to be misleading and need to be clarified. Certain language was 
inadvertently omitted from Sec. 76.1502(d) as published in the rule 
changes.
