# SUMMARY:

                        The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.

Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

*Form Number:*                     FCC Form 325.                

*Type of Review:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                

*Respondents:*                     Business and other for-profit.                

*Number of Respondents and Responses:*                     1,200 respondents; 1,200 responses.                

*Estimated Time per Response:*                     2.166 hours.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Annual reporting requirement.                

*Obligation to Respond:*                     Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for this information collection is contained in sections 4(i), 601 and 602 of the Commissions Act of 1934, as amended.                

*Total Annual Burden:*                     2,599 hours.                

*Total Annual Costs:*                     None.                

*Privacy Impact Assessment:*                     No impact(s).                

*Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:*                     There is no need for confidentiality.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     The Commission made revisions/refinements to FCC Form 325 to accommodate systems using technologies other than coaxial cable (Section II,4). Previously, the number of these filers was very small. Now the portion of the sample is becoming significant. These revisions/refinements to Form 325 will allow the form to be filed electronically by these filers, avoiding a significant cost. Refinements are also made to the form to eliminate instances where potential subscribers are double counted (Section II,2). This occurs where a competing system enters the market and reports as such. These refinements impose no significant new requirement and will reduce aggregate filing costs by simplifying filing for overbuilders and permitting electronic filing for the increasing number of competing service providers.                

The FCC uses Form 325 “Annual Report of Cable Television” to solicit basic operational information from a sample of cable systems nationwide, including: the operator's name and address; system-wide capacity and frequency information; channel usage; and number of subscribers. Operators of every operational cable television system are required to complete the form to verify, correct and/or furnish the Commission with the most current information on their respective cable systems.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
