FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 76

[CS Docket No. 95-174; FCC 96-86]


Uniform Cable Price-Setting Methodology

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission's amendments to 47 CFR 76.922, which contain 
information collection requirements, became effective on September 4, 
1997. These amendments, which were published in the Federal Register on 
March 31, 1997, relate to implementation of the rate regulation 
provisions of the 1992 Cable Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendments to 47 CFR 76.922 published at 62 FR 
15127 became effective on September 4, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rob Fream, Cable Services Bureau, 
(202) 418-7200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    1. On March 14, 1997, the Commission released a Report and Order, a 
summary of which was published in the Federal Register. See 62 FR 
15121, March 31, 1997. The Report and Order establishes rules for an 
optional rate-setting methodology that would enable a cable operator to 
establish uniform rates for uniform cable service tiers offered in 
multiple franchise areas. Because the rules imposed new information 
collection requirements, the amendments to 47 CFR 76.922 could not 
become effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
(``OMB''), and no sooner than April 30, 1997. OMB approved these rule 
changes on September 4, 1997.
    2. The Federal Register summary stated that the Commission would 
publish a document announcing the effective date of the rule changes 
requiring OMB approval. The amendments to 47 CFR 76.922 became 
effective on September 4, 1997. This publication satisfies the 
statement that the Commission would publish a document announcing the 
effective date of the rule changes requiring OMB approval.
