Title: Basic Signal Leakage Performance Report.

Form No.: FCC 320.

[[Page 44879]]

Total Annual Burden: 640,000 hours.

Needs and Uses: Cable television system operators who use

frequencies in the bands 108-137 and 225-400 MHz (aeronautical

fequencies) are required to file a cumulative signal leakage index

(CLI) derived under 47 CFR 76.611(a)(1) or the results of airspace

measurements derived under 47 CFR 76.611(a)(2). This yearly filing is

done in accordance with 47 CFR 76.615 on the FCC Form 320. The data is

used by FCC staff to ensure the safe operation of aeronautical and

marine radio services and to monitor compliance of cable aeronautical

usage which will minimize future interfeence of these safety of life

services.

Fax Document Retrieval Number: 600434.

OMB Approval No: New Collection.

Title: Section 63.16 Construction of Stand-Alone Cable System by a

Carrier in its Exchange Telephone Service Area, CC Docket No. 87-266.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Extension of existing collection.

Respondents: Business and other for-profit.

Number of Respondents: 50.

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour per response.

Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.

Needs and Uses: The Commission finds that the public interest would

be served by providing for reduced ``streamlined'' Section 214

authorization to local exchange telephone companies (LECs) against whom

it is not enforcing the cable/telephone company cross-ownership ban,

who propose to construct a cable system in their service area if the

LEC is willing to certify to three facts. It must certify that (1) the

cable system is a stand-alone system, (2) it will comply with

Commission accounting, cost allocation, affilate transaction rules

applicable to nonregulated activities, and (3) that is has secured a

franchise to provide cable service pursuant to Title VI of the

Communications Act. The Commission believes that if these conditions

are met, more detailed individual scrutiny of Section 214 applications

would not be in the public interest.

Fax Document Retrieval Number: 600001.
