Form Number: N/A. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities; State, local or tribal

157nt, 201, 531, 541 and 542. 

Confidentiality: No need for

collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted on December 20, 2006 a Report 

and Order In the Matter of 

Implementation of Section 621(a)(1) of 

the Cable Communications Policy Act of 

1984 as amended by the Cable 

Television Consumer Protection and 

Competition Act of 1992 (‘‘R&O’’), FCC 

06–180, MB Docket 05–311. This R&O 

provides rules and guidance to 

implement Section 621 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. Section 621 of the 

Communications Act prohibits 

franchising authorities from 

unreasonably refusing to award 

competitive franchises for the provision 

of cable services. The Commission has 

found that the current franchising 

process constitutes an unreasonable 

barrier to entry for competitive entrants 

that impede enhanced cable 

competition and accelerated broadband 

deployment. The information collection 

requirements adopted as a result of FCC 

06–180 are as follows: 

47 CFR 76.41(b) requires a 

competitive franchise applicant to 

include the following information in 

writing in its franchise application, in 

addition to any information required by 

applicable state and local laws: (1) the 

applicant’s name; (2) the names of the 

applicant’s officers and directors; (3) the 

business address of the applicant; (4) 

the name and contact information of a 

designated contact for the applicant; (5) 

a description of the geographic area that 

the applicant proposes to serve; (6) the 

PEG channel capacity and capital 

support proposed by the applicant; (7) 

the term of the agreement proposed by 

the applicant; (8) whether the applicant 

holds an existing authorization to access 

the public rights–of–way in the subject 

franchise service area; (9) the amount of 

the franchise fee the applicant offers to 

pay; and (10) any additional information 

required by applicable state or local 

laws. 

47 CFR 76.41 (d) states when a 

competitive franchise applicant files a 

franchise application with a franchising 

authority and the applicant has existing 

authority to access public rights–of–way 

in the geographic area that the applicant 

proposes to serve, the franchising 

authority grant or deny the application 

within 90 days of the date the 

application is received by the 

franchising authority. If a competitive 

franchise applicant does not have 

existing authority to access public 

rights–of–way in the geographic area 

that the applicant proposes to serve, the 

franchising authority must perform 

grant or deny the application within 180 

days of the date the application is 

received by the franchising authority. A 

franchising authority and a competitive 

franchise applicant may agree in writing 

to extend the 90–day or 180–day 

deadline, whichever is applicable.
