FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 76

[CS Docket No. 96-85; FCC 99-57]


Implementation of the Cable Act Reform Provisions of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 2, 1999, the Commission published a final rule which 
implemented provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that 
reform several parts of Title VI of the Communications Act of 1934, 
including a provision concerning notice by cable operators to 
subscribers of service and rate changes. This document corrects that 
rule by removing an incorrect amendment and publishing the correct 
amendment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 31, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Stevenson or Marjorie Reed 
Greene, Cable Services Bureau, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    On March 29, 1999, the Commission released a Report and Order, a 
summary of which was published in the Federal Register. See 64 FR 
35948, July 2, 1999. In that rule, published in the Federal Register on 
July 2, 1999, an amendment was made to 47 CFR 76.1603(e). The amendment 
to 47 CFR 76.1603(e) should have instead been made to 47 CFR 76.964(b). 
The Commission has released, and will soon publish in the Federal 
Register, a Report and Order (FCC 99-12) which redesignates 47 CFR 
76.964(b) as 47 CFR 76.1603(e). The change the Commission made to the 
rule published on July 2, 1999 anticipated that the requirement had 
previously been moved. This document corrects that error.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.

    The rule published on July 2, 1999 at 64 FR 35948, is corrected as
