Abstract: On April 21, 2010, the FCC released a Fourth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 10-61, which proposes new rules to improve the CableCARD regime. The proposed rules are intended to improve CableCARD installation procedures, ensure that consumers are charged equal and transparent prices for CableCARDs, and provide consumers who use retail devices access to linear channels that is equivalent to those who lease devices. These proposed changes are intended to meet the directive of Section 629 of the Communications Act. Therefore, the revised information collection requirement for this collection is as follows: 47 CFR 76.1205(b)(1) states a multichannel video programming provider that is subject to the requirements of Section 76.1204(a)(1) must include the charge for the CableCard as a separate line item in the subscriber’s bill.
