Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 82 / Friday, April 26, 1996 / Notices 18597

burden to file a request for modification

of a television market is 20 hours per

request. We estimate that 75 (50% of

entities) will use in-house legal staff to

file requests; while 75 (50% of entities)

will contract out the use of legal

assistance at an average burden of 1

hour per filing to coordinate

information with contracted out legal

assistance. The burden for this

collection is therefore: (75 x 20 hours)

+ (75 x 1 hour) = 1,575 hours.

Total Costs to Respondents: $226,500.

Respondents that use contracted out

legal assistance will pay $150 per hour

for this assistance. 75 x 20 hours @ $150

= $225,000. Also, all respondents will

incur postage and stationery costs of $10

per filing. 150 filings x $10 = $1,500.

Needs and Uses: On 3/11/93, the

Commission adopted a Report and

Order in MM Docket Nos. 92–259, 90–

4 and 92–295, Implementation of the

Cable Television Consumer Protection

and Competition Act of 1992, Broadcast

Signal Carriage Issues. Among other

things, this Report and Order, pursuant

to Section 614(h)(1)(C) of the Cable Act

of 1992, created procedures to enable

the Commission to add communities to

or subtract communities from a station’s

television market to better reflect

marketplace conditions following a

written request. Section 76.59 requires a

television station or cable operator to

file a written request to modify a

television station’s must-carry market.

Television stations and cable operators

are to follow the process specified in

Section 76.7 Petitions for Special Relief.

The information derived from this

collection has been used by the

Commission to determine whether a

television station’s must-carry market

should be modified.

following proposed and/or continuing

information collections, as required by

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13. An agency may not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0685.

Title: Annual Updating of Maximum

Permitted Rates for Regulated Cable

Services.

Form No.: FCC Form 1240.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit; State, Local or Tribal

Governments.

Number of Respondents: 8,475. (5,475

cable operators and 3,000 local

franchise authorities (‘‘LFAs’’).

Estimated Time Per Response: 1–15

hours.

Total Annual Burden: 88,459 hours.

Burden for operators: We estimate that

25% of operators will contract out the

burden of filing and that it will take 1

hour to coordinate information with

those contractors. The remaining 75% of

operators are estimated to employ in

house staff to complete the filing. 1,369

filings (25% contracted out) x 1 hour =

1,369 hours. 4,106 filings (75% in

house) x 15 hours = 61,590 hours.

Additionally, 76.933(g)(2) states: If an

LFA has taken no action within the 90-

day review period, then the proposed

rates may go into effect at the end of the

review period, subject to a prospective

rate reduction and refund if the LFA

subsequently issues a written decision

disapproving any portion of such rates.

However, if an operator inquires as to

whether the LFA intends to issue a rate

order after the initial review period, the

LFA or its designee must notify the

operator of its intent in this regard

within 15 days of the operator’s inquiry.

We estimate this will occur in 25% of

the instances when Form 1240s are filed

by cable operators with their LFAs. 25%

of 3,000 = 750 inquiries at an estimated

1 burden for each inquiry = 750 hours.

Total burden hours to operators = 1,369

+ 61,590 + 750 = 63,709 hours.

Burden to LFAs: The Commission

estimates there will be 3,000 FCC Form

1240s filed with LFAs, annually.

Average LFA reviewing time for each

FCC Form 1240 is estimated to be 8

hours. 3,000 x 8 hours = 24,000 burden

hours.

Additionally, we estimate 750

responses to operator requests pursuant

to 76.933(g)(2). 750 notifications at an

estimated 1 burden hour for each

notification = 750 hours. Total burden

hours to LFAs = (3,000 x 8 hrs.) + (750

x 1 hr.) = 24,750 hrs.

Total burden hours for all

respondents = 63,799 + 24,750 = 88,549

hours.

Costs for Respondents: $2,084,450.

We estimate an annual purchase of

4,000 diskette versions of FCC Form

1240 @ $5 per diskette = $20,000.

Printing, photocopying and postage

costs incurred by respondents is

estimated to be $2 per form (5,475

filings x $2) = $10,950. We estimate

Form 1240 assistance will be performed

by legal and accounting contractors at

an average of $100/hour for 25% of the

filings. $100/hour x 1,369 filings (25%

of Form 1240 filings) x 15 hours =

$2,053,500

Total respondent costs: $20,000 +

$10,950 + 2,053,500 = $2,084,450.

Needs and Uses: Cable operators

submit FCC Form 1240 to their

respective LFAs upon certification to

regulate basic service tier rates and

associated equipment; or with the

Commission (in situations where the

Commission has assumed jurisdiction).

The Form 1240 is also filed with the

Commission pursuant to the cable

programming service tier rate complaint

process. The data will be used by the

Commission and LFAs to adjudicate

permitted rates for regulated cable

of new programming tiers and to

account for the addition and deletion of

Separations Procedures.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Extension of an

existing collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit.
