Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection(s). 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB control number.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
[OMB 3060-0669; FR ID 217402]
Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority
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 of 1995 (PRA), the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the following information collection(s). 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 Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) 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 OMB control number.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before July 2, 2024.
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 contacts below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6c3c3e2d2c0a0f0f420b031a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d282809392b4b1b1fcb5bda4">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a5e6c4d1cddc8bf2ccc9c9ccc4c8d6e5c3c6c68bc2cad3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="125173667a6b3c457b7e7e7b737f61527471713c757d64">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0669.
Title: Section 76.946, Advertising of Rates.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 8,250 respondents; 8,250
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes (0.5 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third
party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 4,125 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection is contained in Section 4(i) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained
in 47 CFR 76.946 states that cable operators that advertise rates for
basic service and cable programming service tiers shall be required to
advertise rates that include all costs and fees. Cable systems that
cover multiple franchise areas having differing franchise fees or other
franchise costs, different channel line-ups, or different rate
structures may advertise a complete range of fees without specific
identification of the rate for each individual area. In such
circumstances, the operator may advertise a ``fee plus'' rate that
indicates the core rate plus the range of possible additions, depending
on the particular location of the subscriber. On March 14, 2024, the
Commission adopted a new rule requiring cable and satellite TV
providers to specify the ``all-in'' price clearly and prominently for
video programming service in their promotional materials and on
subscribers' bills. See All-In Pricing for Cable and Satellite
Television Service, MB Docket No. 23-203, FCC 24-29 (rel. March 19,
2024). The information collection requirements of the new rule, 47 CFR
76.310, may overlap with the information collection requirements of
this rule.
