FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0703; FR ID 304438]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

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 (PRA) of 1995, 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 collections. 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 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 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 
22, 2025. 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: 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: 3060-0703.
    Title: Determining Costs of Regulated Cable Equipment and 
Installation, FCC Form 1205.
    Form Number: FCC Form 1205.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 400 respondents; 600 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 4-12 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, Annual reporting 
requirement, Third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Section 301(j) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and 623(a)(7) of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,800 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $360,000.
    Needs and Uses: Information derived from FCC Form 1205 filings is 
used to facilitate the review of equipment and installation rates. This 
information is then reviewed by each cable system's respective local 
franchising authority. Section 76.923 records are kept by cable 
operators in order to demonstrate that charges for the sale and lease 
of equipment for installation have been developed in accordance with 
the Commission's rules. The Commission modified the language in 47 CFR 
76.923 in 90 FR 31145 (July 14, 2025), FCC 25-33, to exclude from 
regulation equipment that is used to receive tiers other than the basic 
tier of service. Due to this exclusion, fewer FCC Form 1205 filings 
will be filed with the Commission. Therefore, Commission is requesting 
approval of this revision to the information collection that reduces 
the paperwork burden.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary.
