SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0419.

Title: Sections 76.94, 76.95, 76.155,

76.156, 76.157, and 76.159, Syndicated

Exclusivity and Network NonDuplication Rights.

Form Number: N/A.

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business and other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 5,392 (1,141

commercial television stations + 4,251

cable television stations).

Estimated Time Per Response: .5 - 2

hours.

Total Annual Burden: 178,640 hours.

Frequency of Response: On Occasion.

Cost to Respondents: $192,132

(operation and maintenance costs for

notifications and responses).

Needs and Uses: Sections 76.94(a)

and 76.155(a) require television stations

and program distributors to notify cable

television system operators of nonduplication protection and exclusivity

rights being sought. The notification

shall include (1) the name and address

of the party requesting non-duplication

protection/exclusivity rights and the

television broadcast station holding the

non-duplication right; (2) the name of

the program or series for which

protection is sought; and (3) the dates

on which protection is to begin and end.

Section 76.94(b) requires broadcasters

entering into contracts providing for

network non-duplication protection to

notify cable systems within 60 days of

the signing of such a contract. If they are

unable to provide notices as provided

for in Section 74.94(a), they must

provide modified notices that contain

the name of the network which has

extended non-duplication protection,

the time periods by time of day and by

network for each day of the week that

the broadcaster will be broadcasting

programs from that network, and the

duration and extent of the protection.

Section 76.94(d) requires broadcasters

to provide the following information to

cable television systems under the

following circumstances: (1) In the

event the protection specified in the

notices described in paragraphs (a) or

(b) of this section has been limited or

ended prior to the time specified in the

notice, or in the event a time period, as

identified to the cable system in a notice

pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section,

for which a broadcaster has obtained

protection is shifted to another time of

day or another day (but not expanded),

the broadcaster shall, as soon as

possible, inform each cable television

system operator that has previously

received the notice of all changes from

the original notice. Notice to be

furnished ‘‘as soon as possible’’ under

this subsection shall be furnished by

telephone, telegraph, facsimile,

overnight mail or other similar

expedient means. (2) In the event the

protection specified in the modified

notices described in paragraph (b) of

this section has been expanded, the

broadcaster shall, at least 60 calendar

days prior to broadcast of a protected

program entitled to such expanded

protection, notify each cable system

operator that has previously received

notice of all changes from the original

notice.

Section 76.155(d) requires that in the

event the exclusivity specified in

paragraph (a) of this section has been

limited or has ended prior to the time

specified in the notice, the distributor or

broadcaster who has supplied the

original notice shall, as soon as possible,

inform each cable television system

operator that has previously received

the notice of all changes from the

original notice. In the event the original

notice specified contingent dates on

which exclusivity is to begin and/or

end, the distributor or broadcaster shall,

as soon as possible, notify the cable

television system operator of the

occurrence of the relevant contingency.

Notice to be furnished ‘‘as soon as

possible’’ under this subsection shall be

furnished by telephone, telegraph,

facsimile, overnight mail or other

similar expedient means.

Sections 76.94(e)(2) and 76.155(c)(2)

states that if a cable television system

asks a television station for information

about its program schedule, the

television station shall answer the

request.

Sections 76.94(f) and 76.157 require a

distributor or broadcaster exercising

exclusivity to provide to the cable

system, upon request, an exact copy of

those portions of the contracts, such

portions to be signed by both the

network and the broadcaster, setting

forth in full the provisions pertinent to

the duration, nature, and extent of the

non-duplication terms concerning

broadcast signal exhibition to which the

parties have agreed. Providing copies of

relevant portions of the contracts is

assumed to be accomplished in the

notification process set forth in Sections

76.94 and 76.155.

Section 76.159 (requirements for

invocation of protection) requires

broadcasters to obtain amended

contracts when existing contracts have

ambiguous language. We assume all

broadcasters that have enforceable

syndicated rights in their contracts have

by now amended their existing

contracts. Any contracts entered into

after August 18, 1988, would contain

the required language set forth in this

section.

Section 76.95(a) states that network

non-duplication provisions of Sections

76.92 through 76.94 shall not apply to

cable systems serving fewer than 1,000

subscribers. Within 60 days following

the provision of service to 1,000

subscribers, the operator of each system

shall file a notice to that effect with the

Commission, and serve a copy of that

notice on every television station that

would be entitled to exercise network

non-duplication protection against it.

Section 76.156(b) states that the

provisions of Sections 76.151 through

76.155 shall not apply to a cable system

serving fewer than 1,000 subscribers.

Within 60 days following the provision

of service to 1,000 subscribers, the

operator of each such system shall file
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 102 /Thursday, May 28, 1998 / Notices 29215

a notice to that effect with the

Commission, and serve a copy of that

notice on every television station that

would be entitled to exercise syndicated

exclusivity protection against it.

The purpose of the various

notification and disclosure requirements

accounted for in this collection is to

protect broadcasters who purchase the

exclusive rights to transmit syndicated

programming in their recognized market

areas. The Commission’s syndicated

exclusivity rules permit, but do not

require, broadcasters and program

distributors to obtain the same

enforceable exclusive distribution rights

for syndicated programming that all

other video programming distributors

possess.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0547.

Title: Section 76.61 Disputes

Total Annual Burden: 18,000 hours.

Frequency of Response: On Occasion.

Cost to Respondents: $198,000

($192,000 for filing fees at $960 per fee;

Needs and Uses: This information

collection accounts for the paperwork

burden associated with disputes

concerning carriage contained in

Section 76.61 as well as must-carry

complaints and other petitions for

special relief contained in Section 76.7.

Section 76.61 states that whenever a

local commercial television or qualified

low power television station believes

that a cable operator has failed to meet

its carriage or channel positioning

obligations, such station shall notify the

cable operator, in writing, of the alleged

failure and identify its reasons for

believing that the cable operator is

obligated to carry the signal of such

station or position such signal on a

particular channel. The cable operator

then must respond in writing within 30

days to the notification and either

commence to carry the station or state

its reasons for believing it is not

obligated to carry such signal. The

television or low power television

station may then file a ‘‘must-carry’’

complaint in accordance with

procedures set forth in Section 76.7.

Qualified local noncommercial

educational television stations may also

file ‘‘must-carry’’ complaints with the

Commission in accordance with

procedures set forth in Section 76.7.

Must-carry complaints shall specifically

allege the manner in which the cable

operator failed to meet its obligations

and the basis for such allegations.

Section 76.7 states that on petition by

a cable television system operator, a

franchising authority, an applicant,

permittee, or licensee of a television

broadcast or translator station, or by any

other interested person, the Commission

may waive any provision of the rules

relating to cable television systems,

impose additional of different

requirements, or issue a ruling on a

complaint or disputed question. The

petition for special relief or must-carry

complaint may be submitted informally,

by letter, but shall be accompanied by

a certificate of service on any cable

television operator, franchising

authority, station licensee, permittee, or

applicant, or other interested person

who may be directly affected if the relief

requested is granted. Interested parties

may submit comments or oppositions to

a petition for special relief or a mustcarry complaint within twenty days

after the date of public notice of the

filing of such petition or complaint. The

petitioner or complainant may file a

reply to the comments or oppositions

within 10 days after their submission.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0548.

Title: Section 76.302 Required

recordkeeping for Must-Carry purposes

and Section 76.56 Signal Carriage

obligations.

Form Number: N/A

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business and other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 11,000

Estimated Time Per Response: .5

hours - 1 hour.

Total Annual Burden: 66,000 hours.

Frequency of Response: On Occasion.

Cost to Respondents: $110,000

(postage and stationary).

Needs and Uses: Section 76.302

requires the operator of every cable

television system to maintain a public

inspection file containing a list of all

broadcast television stations carried by

its system in fulfillment of the mustcarry requirements pursuant to Section

76.56 and the designation and location

of its principal headend. Sections

76.302 and 76.56(e) state that upon

written request from any person, a cable

operator is required to provide the list

of must-carried signals in writing within

30 days of receipt of such request.

Additionally, Section 76.56(d)(3) states

that if a cable operator authorizes

subscribers to install additional receiver

connections, but does not provide the

subscriber with such connections, or

with the equipment and materials for

such connections, the operator shall

notify such subscribers of all broadcast

stations carried on the cable system

which cannot be viewed via cable

without a converter box and shall offer

to sell or lease such a converter box to

such subscribers. The notice, which

may be included in routine billing

statements, shall identify the signals

that are unavailable without an

additional connection, the manner for

obtaining such additional connection,

and instructions for installation. These

notification and recordkeeping

requirements ensure that subscribers are

aware of which channels cannot be

viewed without converter boxes and

which channels are defined as mustcarry. The records kept by cable

television systems are reviewed by

Commission staff during field

inspections and by local public officials

to assess the systems’ compliance with

applicable rules and regulations.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0652.

Title: Section 76.309 Customer

Service Obligations and Section 76.964

Notice to Subscribers.

Form Number: N/A.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit; State, local and tribal

governments.

Number of Respondents: 11,365 cable

systems, 10 franchise authorities.

Estimated Time Per Response: 10

minutes - 1 hour.

Total Annual Burden: 33,975 hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Cost To Respondents: $100,000

(postage and stationary costs).

Needs and Uses: Sections 76.309 and

76.964 set forth various customer

service obligations and notification

requirements for changes in rates,

programming services and channel

positions.

Section 76.309(a) states that franchise

authorities must provide affected cable

operators 90 days written notice of its

intent to enforce customer services

standards set forth in Section 76.309(c).

Section 76.309(c)(3)(i)(A) states that

cable operators shall provide written

information on each of the following

areas at the time of installation of

service, at least annually to all

subscribers, and at any time upon

request: (1) Products and services

offered; (2) Prices and options for

programming services and conditions of

subscription to programming and other

services; (3) Installation and service

maintenance policies; (4) Instructions

on how to use the cable service; (5)
29216 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 102 /Thursday, May 28, 1998 / Notices

Channel positions programming carried

on the system; and, (6) Billing and

complaint procedures, including the

address and telephone number of the

local franchise authority’s cable office.

Section 76.309(c)(3)(i)(B) states that

customers will be notified of any

changes in rates, programming services

or channel positions as soon as possible

in writing. Notice must be given to

subscribers a minimum of thirty (30)

days in advance of such changes if the

change is within the control of the cable

operator. In addition, the cable operator

shall notify subscribers 30 days in

advance of any significant changes in

the other information required by

Section 76.309(c)(3)(i)(A).

Section 76.964 states that in addition

to the requirement set forth in Section

76.309(c)(3)(i)(B) regarding advance

notification to customers of any changes

in rates, programming services or

channel positions, cable systems shall

give 30 days written notice to both

subscribers and local franchising

authorities before implementing any

rate or service change. Such notice shall

state the precise amount of any rate

change and briefly explain in readily

understandable fashion the cause of the

rate change (e.g. inflation, changes in

external costs or the addition/deletion

of channels). When the change involves

the addition or deletion of channels,

each channel added or deleted must be

separately identified. Notices to

subscribers shall inform them of their

right to file complaints about changes in

cable programming service tier rates and

services, shall state that the subscriber

may file the complaint within 90 days

of the effective date of the rate change,

and shall provide the address and

phone number of the local franchising

authority.

Section 76.309(c)(3)(ii)(B) states that

in case of a billing dispute, the cable

operator must respond to a written

complaint from a subscriber within 30

days.

Since the last OMB clearance for this

collection, it has been revised in two

ways. First, the Section 76.309(a)

requirement that franchise authorities

must provide affected cable operators 90

days written notice of intent to enforce

customer services standards was not

previously accounted for in this

collection. We now seek clearance for it

as part of this collection. Second, a

revision to Section 76.309(c)(3)(i)(B) no

longer requires cable operators to

provide notice of any rate change that is

the result of a regulatory fee, franchise

fee, or any other fee, tax, assessment, or

charge of any kind imposed by any

Federal agency, State, or franchising

authority on the transaction between

operators and their subscribers. We

revise this collection accordingly.The

Commission requires the various

disclosure and notifications contained

in this collection as a means of

consumer protection to ensure that

subscribers and franchising authorities

are knowledgeable of cable operators’

business practices, current rates, rate

changes for programming, service and

equipment, and channel line-up

changes.
