As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the FCC invited the general public and other Federal Agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the following information
collection. 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 estimates; (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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks
specific comment on how it might ``further reduce the information
collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25
employees.''

Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements adopted in
FCC 24-29 are as follows:
47 CFR 76.310 requires truth in billing and advertising:
47 CFR 76.310(a) requires cable operators and direct broadcast
satellite (DBS) providers to state an aggregate price for the video
programming that they provide as a clear, easy-to-understand, and
accurate single line item on subscribers' bills, including on bills for
legacy or grandfathered video programming service plans. If a price is
introductory or limited in time, cable and DBS providers shall state on
subscribers' bills the date the price ends, by disclosing either the
length of time that a discounted price will be charged or the date on
which a time period will end that will result in a price change for
video programming, and the post-promotion rate 60 and 30 days before
the end of any introductory period. Cable operators and DBS providers
may complement the aggregate line item with an itemized explanation of
the elements that compose that single line item.
47 CFR 76.310(b) requires cable operators and DBS providers that
communicate a price for video programming in promotional materials to
state the aggregate price for the video programming in a clear, easy-
to-understand, and accurate manner. If part of the aggregate price for
video programming fluctuates based upon service location, then the
provider must state where and how consumers may obtain their
subscriber-specific ``all-in'' price (for example, electronically or by
contacting a customer service or sales representative). If part or all
of the aggregate price is limited in time, then the provider must state
the post-promotion rate, as calculated at that time, and the duration
of each rate that will be charged. Cable operators and DBS providers
may complement the aggregate price with an itemized explanation of the
elements that compose that aggregate price. The requirement in this
paragraph (b) shall not apply to the marketing of legacy or
grandfathered video programming service plans that are no longer
generally available to new customers. For purposes of this section, the
term ``promotional material'' includes communications offering video
programming to consumers such as advertising and marketing.
