providers disclose to consumers at the

outset of operator assisted calls their

identity, and, upon request, rates for the

call, collection methods, and complaint

procedures. In CC Docket No. 94-158,

the Commission modified the term

consumer thereby requiring that

operator service providers disclose their

identities to both parties, rather than

one party to a collect call.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0573.

Title: Application for Franchise

Autohority (‘‘LFA’’) Consent to

Assignment or Transfer of Control of

Cable Television Franchise.

Form: FCC 394.

Type of Review: Revision of existing

collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 2,000 (1,000

system owners + 1,000 LFAs).

Estimated Time Per Response: 1-5

hours. Burden to cable system owners is

estimated to be an average of 5 hours

per application. We estimate that 50%

owners will contract out the burden of

filing and that it will take 1 hour to

coordinate information with those

contractors. The remaining 50% will

employ in house staff to complete the

application. 500 applications (50%

contracted out) x 1 hour = 500 hours.

500 applications (50% in house) x 5

hours = 2,500 hours. Burden for owners

= 500 + 2,500 = 3,000 hours. Burden to

LFAs is estimated to be an average of 4

hours to review each application. This

burden was previously treated as a third

party requirement and was not reported

by the Commission. We now include

this burden in this collection’s

inventory. 1,000 applications x 4 hours

= 4,000 hours.

Total Annual Burden: Total burden

for all respondents: 3,000 + 4,000 =

7,000 hours.

Cost to respondents: $377,000.

Printing and postage costs are estimated

at $2 per application x 1,000 = $2,000.

Assistance by outside legal counsel will

be paid at an average of $150/hour for

50% of the Form 394 applications.

$150/hour x 500 applications x 5 hours

per application = $375,000. Total

annual cost burden to respondents =

$2,000 + $375,000 = $377,000.

Needs and Uses: On 3/15/96, the

Commission adopted an Order in CS

Docket No. 96-56, Implementation of

Sections 202(f), 202(i) and 301(i) of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Among other things, this order

eliminates the three-year holding

requirement of cable systems and

reduces ownership restrictions for cable

systems. Though there are no revisions

necessary to FCC Form 394 to reflect the

Commission’s new rules, its use as an

information collection requirement has

been modified because potential

respondents now may include

broadcasters and multichannel

multipoint distribution service

providers other than cable operators.

The FCC Form 394 is used to apply for

LFA approval to assign or transfer

control of a cable television system. The

data are used by the LFAs to restrict

profiteering transactions and other

transfers that are likely to adversely

affect cable rates or service in the

franchise area.

The companies listed in this notice

have applied to the Board for approval,

pursuant to the Bank Holding Company

and regulations to become a bank

unfair competition, conflicts of

interests, or unsound banking practices’’

a hearing must be accompanied by a

statement of the reasons a written
