Implementation of Sections of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
and Competition Act of 1992, Rate Regulation, MM Docket No. 92-266, FCC 
93-177. Among other things, the Report and Order implemented Section 
3(a) of the Cable Television Consumer and Protection and Competition 
Act of 1992 wherein a local franchise authority (LFA) must file with 
the Commission, a written certification when it seeks to regulate basic 
service cable rates. Subsequently, the Commission developed FCC Form 
328 to provide a standardized, simple form for LFAs' to use when 
requesting certification. The data derived from FCC 328 filings is used 
by Commission staff to ensure that an LFA has met the criteria 
specified in Section 3(a) of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
and Competition Act of 1992 for regulating basic service rates.

Federal Communications Commission.
