Title: Section 76.987, New Product

Tiers.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other for

profit.

Number of Respondents: 500.

Estimated Time Per Response: .5

hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement.

Cost to Respondents: Postage and

stationery costs are estimated to be $1

per filing. Therefore, 500 filings x

$1=$500.

Total Annual Burden: The

Commission estimates that

approximately 500 NPT filings will be

received in the next year. The average

burden to cable operators to comply

with this filing requirement is estimated

to be .5 hours per filing. 500 filings x

.5=250 total annual burden hours.

Needs and Uses: Section 76.987(g)

states that within 30 days of the offering

of a new product tier (‘‘NPT’’), operators

shall file with the Commission, a copy

of the new rate card that contains the

following information on their basic

service tiers (‘‘BSTs’’), able

programming service tiers (‘‘CPSTs’’),

and NPTs: (1) The names of the

programming services contained on

each tier; and (2) the price of each tier.

Operators also must file with the

Commission, copies of notifications that

were sent to subscribers regarding the

initial offering of NPTs. After this initial

filing, cable operators must file updated

rate cards and copies of customer

notifications with the Commission

within 30 days of rate or service changes

affecting the NPT.

The information contained in NPT

filings is used by the Commission to

ensure that cable operators are

complying with conditions set forth for

NPTs, i.e., that operators are not making

fundamental changes to what they offer

on their tiers of service, and that

subscribers are given due notice of NPT

offerings.

Title: Policies and Rules Concerning

Unauthorized Changes of Consumers’

Long Distance Carriers, CC Docket No.

94–129.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other for

profit.

Number of Respondents: 500.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2

hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement and third party

disclosure.

Cost to Respondents: N/A.

Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.

Needs and Uses: In CC Docket 94–

129, Report and Order (R&O), Policies

and Rules Concerning Unauthorized

Changes of Consumers’ Long Distance

Carriers, (1995), the Commission

adopted consumer protection

mechanisms that were designed to curb

widespread instances of slamming and

associated deceptive or misleading

marketing practices by many long

distance carriers. In response to six

petitions for reconsideration of the 1995

R&O, we amend our rules in three

respects. First, we modify 47 CFR

64.1150(g) to clarify that interexchange

carriers (IXCS) using letters of agency

(LOAs) must fully translate their LOAs

into the same language(s) as their

associated promotional materials or oral

descriptions and instructions. Second,

we modify 47 CFR 64.1150(e)(4) to

incorporate the terms interLATA and

intraLATA, as well as interstate and

intrastate, in order to remove all

possible confusion or uncertainty about

the scope of our rules, which are

generally relevant to all jurisdictions.

Third, we modify 47 CFR 64.1100(a) to

clarify that IXCs must confirm orders for

long distance service generated by
63340 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 229 / Friday, November 28, 1997 / Notices

telemarketing using only one of four

verification options. The information

will be used to inform long distance

carriers of their additional and

continuing obligations to verify all

orders for long distance service

generated by telemarketing in

accordance with the Commission’s

verification rules. The information

received from the current collection was

used to identify and strengthen the areas

in which increased protection and/or

clarification of our verification rules

were needed.
