1998 Biennial Regulatory Review``Annual Report of Cable Television Systems,'' Form 325

This document revises and streamlines the Form 325, ``Annual Report of Cable Television Systems,'' which is provided for in the Commission's rules. The Form 325 solicits basic operational information from cable television systems. In the past, in order to ensure the accuracy and usefulness of the data obtained, the Form 325 was mailed to every cable system in the country. In an effort to reduce the administrative burdens imposed upon both the cable industry and the Commission, while still allowing the Commission access to the public information necessary for it to carry out its regulatory functions, the Commission not only modified the form but also drastically reduced the universe of system operators required to file the form.
