Pursuant to Section 76.970(h), cable operators are required to respond to requests for leased access information ``within 15 calendar days of the date on which a request for leased access information is made.'' Fal-Comm does not refute MediaOne's assertion that it forwarded the 1999 leased access rates to petitioner eight days later than required by our rules. While it is clear that MediaOne failed

The record shows that Time Warner provided Kenney with a leased access application and information concerning its leased access policies, procedures, and rates on January 12, 2000.

However, Time Warner provided the requested information 85 days after expiration of the 15 calendar day period provided in Section 76.970(h)(1) of the Commission's rules for a cable operator to respond to a potential leased access programmer's request for leased access information. In view of Time Warner's failure to comply with Section 76.970(h)(1), we are considering separately issuing to Time Warner a notice of apparent liability for forfeiture pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and
