FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

December 4, 2007.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to (PRA) of 
1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number. Subject to the PRA, no person shall be subject to any penalty 
for failing to comply with a collection of information 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before February 
11, 2008. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: You may submit all PRA comments by e-mail or U.S. post mail. 
To submit your comments by e-mail, send them to [email protected]. To submit 
your comments by U.S. mail, mark them to the attention of Cathy 
Williams, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C823, 445 12th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0669.
    Title: Section 76.946, Advertising of Rates.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 8,250.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 4,125 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: None.
    Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 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.
