FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0669; FR ID 217402]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection(s). Comments are 
requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before July 2, 2024. 
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 contacts below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0669.
    Title: Section 76.946, Advertising of Rates.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 8,250 respondents; 8,250 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes (0.5 hours).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 4,125 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is contained in Section 4(i) of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in 47 CFR 76.946 states that cable operators that advertise rates 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 
on the particular location of the subscriber. On March 14, 2024, the 
Commission adopted a new rule requiring cable and satellite TV 
providers to specify the ``all-in'' price clearly and prominently for 
video programming service in their promotional materials and on 
subscribers' bills. See All-In Pricing for Cable and Satellite 
Television Service, MB Docket No. 23-203, FCC 24-29 (rel. March 19, 
2024). The information collection requirements of the new rule, 47 CFR 
76.310, may overlap with the information collection requirements of 
this rule.
