ACTION: Final rule; notice of effective date. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT: FCC Form 1230 Approved by Office of Management and Budget. SUMMARY: The FCC Form 1230 was approved by the Office of Management and Budget on August 21, 1995. That date also serves as the effective date for the rules and regulations adopted in the Sixth Report and Order and Eleventh Order on Reconsideration in MM Docket Nos. 92-266 and 93-215, Implementation of Sections of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992: Rate Regulation. The Sixth Report and Order amends definitions of small cable entities to encompass a broader range of cable systems that are eligible for special rate and administrative treatment. To implement these rule changes, the Commission created the FCC Form 1230. In introducing the FCC Form 1230 and new simplified small system rate relief, the Commission continues its ongoing efforts to offer small cable companies administrative relief from rate regulation in furtherance of congressional intent.
