  • with respect to its SDV deployment, and notes that Oceanic took additional steps to mitigate the impact of its movement of channels to SDV technology by offering subscribers with CableCARDs an opportunity to lease an interactive set-top box for two years for the same monthly charge as a CableCARD. TWC further contends that the only applicable notice requirement is Section 76.1622 of the Commission Rules, which requires that cable operators provide annual equipment compatibility notices to advise consumers that ``some models of TV receivers ... may not be able to receive all of the channels offered by the cable system when connected directly to the cable system.'' According to TWC, it complied with Section 76.1622 in its June 2007 annual equipment

  • in a decision relating to the operator's obligation to provide notice in advance of transitioning to an all digital system, the LFA notice requirements do not apply to SDV deployments. As the Bureau properly recognized, ``[i]n that decision, the Commission advised cable operators that such actions were subject to the notice requirements in both the annual equipment notice rule (Section 76.1622) and Section 76.1603,'' noting that ``although the Commission was discussing notice to subscribers in the relevant passage, it cited to Section 76.1603 as a whole, and did not distinguish the LFA notice language.'' Nor do we find merit in TWC's argument that the absence of a condition to notify the LFA in a waiver grant indicates that the LFA notice

  • Biennial Regulatory Review -- Streamlining of Cable Television Services Part 76 Public File and Notice Requirements, Report and Order, CS Docket 98-132 (FCC 99-12, 14 FCC Rcd 4653 (1999)) was published in the Federal Register on September 5, 2000. The rules revised and streamlined the public file and notice requirements, and reduced the regulatory burden faced by cable operators. Sections 76.1622, 76.1713, and 76.1800 contained information collection requirements that required approval from the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') before they could become effective. OMB approved the information collection requirements on June 7, 2001 (see OMB No. 3060-0981). Accordingly, Sections 76.1622, 76.1713, and 76.1800 will become effective upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Media Contact: Michelle Russo 202-418-7200
