On March 16, 2015, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM"), MB Docket No. 15-53, FCC 15-30; In the Matter of Amendment to the Commission's Rules Concerning Effective Competition; Implementation of Section 111 of the STELA Reauthorization Act. The NPRM asks whether the Commission should adopt a rebuttable presumption that cable operators are subject to effective competition. Although Appendix A of the NPRM does not propose revisions to 47 CFR 76.911, reversing the rebuttable presumption and adopting the procedures discussed in the NPRM could result in changes to the information collection burdens, as set forth in this supporting statement.
If the proposed information collection requirements are adopted in a final rulemaking by the Commission, the following figures will be reduced from OMB's inventory at the final rulemaking stage: the total number of annual respondents covered by this information collection would decrease by 10, the total number of annual responses would decrease by 5, and the total annual burden hours would decrease by 90 hours.
There are no adjustments to this collection.
