Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992

In this Memorandum Opinion and Order, we adopt rule changes responsive to the decision of the court in Time Warner Entertainment Co. v. FCC, 56 F.3d 151 (D.C. Cir. 1995). In its decision, the court considered rules adopted by the Commission to implement rate regulation and related provisions of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (``1992 Cable Act''). The rules were largely affirmed by the court. In five discrete areas, however, the court reversed the Commission's implementing decisions and rules. The order is intended to conform the rules to the court's decision. DATES: The amendments to 47 CFR Sections 76.905 and 76.921 shall become effective March 14, 1997, and the amendments to 47 CFR Sections 76.922 and 76.913 will become effective upon approval by the Office of Management and Budget of the information collection requirements, but no sooner than March 14, 1997. The Commission will publish a document at a later date establishing this effective date. Written comments by the public on the modified information collections are due April 14, 1997. ADDRESSES: A copy of any comments on the information collections contained herein should be submitted to Dorothy Conway, Federal Communications Commission, Room 234, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20554, or via the Internet to dconway@fcc.gov.
