Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Notices 21739 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

Public Law 104–104, Sections 301 and 

302, 110 Stat. 56, 114–124. 

Total Annual Burden: 210 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.952 states 

that all cable operators must provide to 

the subscribers on monthly bills the 

name, mailing address and phone 

number of the franchising authority, 

unless the franchising authority in 

writing requests that the cable operator 

omits such information. The cable 

operator must also provide subscribers 

with the FCC community unit identifier 

for the cable system in their 

communities. 

47 CFR 76.990(b)(1) requires that a 

small cable operator may certify in 

writing to its franchise authority at any 

time that it meets all criteria necessary 

to qualify as a small operator. Upon 

request of the local franchising 

authority, the operator shall identify in 

writing all of its affiliates that provide 

cable service, the total subscriber base of 

itself and each affiliate, and the 

aggregate gross revenues of its cable and 

non-cable affiliates. Within 90 days of 

receiving the original certification, the 

local franchising authority shall 

determine whether the operator 

qualifies for deregulation and shall 

notify the operator in writing of its 

decision, although this 90-day period 

shall be tolled for so long as it takes the 

operator to respond to a proper request 

for information by the local franchising 

authority. An operator may appeal to 

the Commission a local franchise 

authority’s information request if the 

operator seeks to challenge the 

information request as unduly or 

unreasonably burdensome. If the local 

franchising authority finds that the 

operator does not qualify for 

deregulation, its notice shall state the 

grounds for that decision. The operator 

may appeal the local franchising 

authority’s decision to the Commission 

within 30 days. 

47 CFR 76.990(b)(3) requires that 

within 30 days of being served with a 

local franchising authority’s notice that 

the local franchising authority intends 

to file a cable programming services tier 

rate complaint, an operator may certify 

to the local franchising authority that it 

meets the criteria for qualification as a 

small cable operator. This certification 

shall be filed in accordance with the 

cable programming services rate 

complaint procedure set forth in 

§ 76.1402. Absent a cable programming 

services rate complaint, the operator 

may request a declaration of CPST rate 

deregulation from the Commission 

pursuant to § 76.7.
