and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Pub. L. 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 
of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted 
on or before April 25, 2005. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 76.946 states that cable operators 
that advertise for basic service and cable programming service tiers 
shall be required to advertise rates that include all costs and fees. 
Cable systems that cover multiple franchise areas having differing 
franchise fees or other franchise costs, different channel line-ups, or 
different rate structures, may advertise a complete range of fees 
without specific identification of the rate for each individual area. 
In such circumstances, the operator may advertise a ``fee plus'' rate 
that indicates the core rate plus the range of possible additions, 
depending upon the particular location of the subscriber. The 
Commission has set forth this disclosure requirement to ensure consumer 
awareness of all fees associated with basic service and cable 
programming service tier rates.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
