FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collections. Comments are requested 
concerning: 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; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 12, 
2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] [email protected] and to [email protected].

    Needs and Uses: The Commission released on October 14, 2010, a 
Third Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 10-181, CS 
Docket 97-80 and PP Docket 00-67, modifying the Commission's rules to 
implement Section 629 of the Communications Act (Section 304 of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996). Section 629 of the Communications Act 
directs the Commission to adopt rules to assure the commercial 
availability of ``navigation devices,'' such as cable set-top boxes. 
One rule modification in the Third Report and Order and Order on 
Reconsideration is intended to prohibit price discrimination against 
retail devices. This modification requires cable operators to disclose 
annually the fees for rental of navigation devices and single and 
additional CableCARDs as well as the fees reasonably allocable to the 
rental of single and additional CableCARDs and the rental of operator-
supplied navigation devices if those devices are included in the price 
of a bundled offer.
