Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements adopted in FCC 24-29 are as follows:
47 CFR 76.310 requires truth in billing and advertising:
47 CFR 76.310(a) requires cable operators and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) providers to state
an aggregate price for the video programming that they provide as a clear, easy-to-understand,
and accurate single line item on subscribers' bills, including on bills for legacy or grandfathered
video programming service plans. If a price is introductory or limited in time, cable and DBS
providers shall state on subscribers' bills the date the price ends, by disclosing either the length of
time that a discounted price will be charged or the date on which a time period will end that will
result in a price change for video programming, and the post-promotion rate 60 and 30 days
before the end of any introductory period. Cable operators and DBS providers may complement
the aggregate line item with an itemized explanation of the elements that compose that single line
item.
47 CFR 76.310(b) requires cable operators and DBS providers that communicate a price for video
programming in promotional materials to state the aggregate price for the video programming in a
clear, easy-to-understand, and accurate manner. If part of the aggregate price for video
programming fluctuates based upon service location, then the provider must state where and how
consumers may obtain their subscriber-specific “all-in” price (for example, electronically or by
contacting a customer service or sales representative). If part or all of the aggregate price is
limited in time, then the provider must state the post-promotion rate, as calculated at that time,
and the duration of each rate that will be charged. Cable operators and DBS providers may
complement the aggregate price with an itemized explanation of the elements that compose that
aggregate price. The requirement in this paragraph (b) shall not apply to the marketing of legacy

or grandfathered video programming service plans that are no longer generally available to new
customers. For purposes of this section, the term “promotional material” includes
communications offering video programming to consumers such as advertising and marketing.
