Needs and Uses: In the Cable

directed the FCC to adopt rules 

governing the disposition of home 

wiring owned by a cable operator when 

a subscriber terminates service. The 

rules at 76.800 et seq., implement that 

directive. The intention of the rules is 

to clarify the status and provide for the 

disposition of existing cable operatorowned wiring in single family homes 

and multiple dwelling units upon the 

termination of a contract for cable 

service by the home owner or MDU 

owner. Section 76.613(d) requires that 

when Multichannel Video Programming 

Distributors (MVPDs) cause harmful 

signal interference MVPDs may be 

required by the District Director and/or 

Resident Agent to prepare and submit a 

report regarding the cause(s) of the 

interference, corrective measures 

planned or taken, and the efficacy of the 

remedial measures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0384. 

Title: Sections 64.901, 64.904 and 

64.905, Auditor’s Attestation and 

Certification. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 1 respondent, 1 response. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5–250 

hours. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority is contained in Sections 1, 4, 

201–205, 215, and 218–220 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 151, 154, 

201–205, 215, and 218–220. 

Frequency of Response: On-occasion, 

biennial, and annual reporting 

requirements. 

Total Annual Burden: 255 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,200,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

the respondents submit confidential 

information to the FCC. Respondents 

may, however, request confidential 

treatment for information they believe to 

be confidential under 47 CFR Section 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: Section 64.904(a) 

states that each incumbent LEC required 

to file a cost allocation manual shall 

elect to either have an attest engagement 

performed by an independent auditor 

every two years, covering the prior two 

year period, or have a financial audit 

performed by an independent auditor 

biennially. In either case, the initial 

engagement shall be performed in the 

calendar year after the carrier is first 

required to file a cost allocation manual. 

See Section 64.904(a)–(c). Instead of 

requiring mid-sized carriers to incur the 

expense of a biennial attestation 

engagement, they now file a certification 

with the Commission stating that they 

are in compliance with 47 CFR 64.901 

of the Commission’s rules, which sets 

out the rules regarding allocation of 

costs. The certification must be signed, 

under oath, by an officer of the 

incumbent LEC, and filed with the 

Commission on an annual basis. Such 

certification of compliance represents a 

less costly means of enforcing 

compliance with our cost allocation 

rules. See 47 CFR 64.905 of the 

Commission’s rules. The requirements 

are imposed to ensure that the carriers 

are properly complying with 

Commission rules. They serve as an 

important aid in the Commission’s 

monitoring program. Section 64.905 

requires mid-sized LECs to file a 

certification with the Commission 

stating that they are complying with 

section 64.901. The certification must be 

signed, under oath, by an officer of the 

mid-sized LEC, and filed with the 

Commission on an annual basis at the 

time that the mid-sized incumbent LEC 

files the annual reports required by 

section 43.21(e)(2).
