the addition or deletion of channels, 

each channel added or deleted must be 

separately identified. Notices to

cable programming service tier rates and

phone number of the local franchising 

authority. 47 CFR 76.1619 states that in 

case of a billing dispute, the cable 

operator must respond to a written

various disclosure and notifications 

contained in this collection as a means 

of consumer protection to ensure that 

subscribers and franchising authorities

business practices, current rates, rate 

changes for programming service and 

equipment, and channel line-up 

changes.

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will amend the eligibility criteria for

exemption from this requirement must 

provide different information to 

establish eligibility for this exemption, 

on the FCC Form 601, based on the 

revised three factors listed under 47 

CFR 1.2110. The information 

requirement will enable the 

Commission to ensure that no bidder 

gains an unfair advantage over other 

bidders in its spectrum auctions and 

thus enhance the competitiveness and 

fairness of its auctions. The information 

collected will be reviewed, and if 

warranted, referred to the Commission’s 

Enforcement Bureau for possible 

investigation and administrative action. 

The Commission may also refer 

allegations of anticompetitive auction 

conduct to the Department of Justice for
