In the Matter of Implementation of Section 304 of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996, Commercial Availability of Navigation 
Devices, CS Docket No. 97-80, FCC 05-76. In the Second Report and Order 
and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission extended by 
twelve months the existing 2006 deadline in Section 76.1204(a)(1) 
prohibiting the deployment of integrated navigation devices by 
multichannel video programming distributors in order to promote the 
retail sale of non-integrated navigation devices. This extension was 
intended to afford cable operators additional time to investigate and 
develop a downloadable security solution that will allow common 
reliance by cable operators and consumer electronics manufacturers on 
an identical security function without the additional costs of physical 
separation inherent in the point-of-deployment module, or CableCARD, 
solution. The rules adopted in this proceeding added information 
collection requirements to this collection and also were intended to 
implement Section 629 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 
U.S.C. Sec.  549.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
