Cable Act of 1992--Small Systems

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; notice of effective date.

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

SUBJECT: FCC Form 1230 Approved by Office of Management and Budget.

SUMMARY: The FCC Form 1230 was approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget on August 21, 1995. That date also serves as the effective date 
for the rules and regulations adopted in the Sixth Report and Order and 
Eleventh Order on Reconsideration in MM Docket Nos. 92-266 and 93-215, 
Implementation of Sections of the Cable Television Consumer Protection 
and Competition Act of 1992: Rate Regulation. The Sixth Report and 
Order amends definitions of small cable entities to encompass a broader 
range of cable systems that are eligible for special rate and 
administrative treatment. To implement these rule changes, the 
Commission created the FCC Form 1230. In introducing the FCC Form 1230 
and new simplified small system rate relief, the Commission continues 
its ongoing efforts to offer small cable companies administrative 
relief from rate regulation in furtherance of congressional intent.

DATES: Regulations published in MM Doc Nos. 92-266 and 93-215 published 
on July 12, 1995 (60 FR 35854) are effective August 21, 1995.
