and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of

cable operator owns the home wiring; (2) that it intends to remove the 
wiring; (3) that the subscriber has the right to purchase the wiring; 
and (4) what the per-foot replacement cost and total charge for the 
wiring would be. The information is used to promote competition and 
consumer choice by minimizing potential disruption of service to a 
subscriber switching video providers.
