[CS Docket No. 97-248; RM No. 9097; FCC 98-189]
Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission amended its rules regarding access to cable
programming. These rules contained new and modified information
collection requirements and became effective on December 23, 1998.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 23, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steven Broeckaert, Cable Services Bureau, (202) 418-7200.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. On August 6, 1998, the Commission adopted an order revising its
program access rules. The revised rules will further the Commission's
goal of increasing competition in the market for multichannel video
programming by improving access to programming for all providers. See
63 FR 45740, August 27, 1998. Because amended Sec. 76.1003 of the
Commission's rules imposed new or modified information collection
requirements, it could not become effective until approved by the
Office of Management and Budget (``OMB''). OMB approved the rule
changes on December 23, 1998.
2. The order stated that, upon approval by OMB, the Commission
would publish a document announcing the effective date of the rules.
The amendments to 47 CFR 76.1003 became effective on December 23, 1998.
Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
