PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov TTY: 1-888-835-5322 DA 07-3323 Released: July 20, 2007 NOTICE OF PRESENTATIONS IN THE MATTER OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 621(A)(1) OF THE CABLE COMMUNICATIONS POLICY ACT OF 1984 AS AMENDED BY THE CABLE TELEVISION CONSUMER PROTECTION AND COMPETITION ACT OF 1992 (MB DOCKET NO. 05-311) Notice is hereby given that numerous written presentations concerning the above-referenced proceeding (MB Docket No. 05-311) were received by the Commission between December 14, 2006 and March 2, 2007. Generally, Section 1.1203 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1203, prohibits the making of any presentation, with specified exceptions not applicable here, whether ex parte or not, to decision-making personnel concerning any matter listed on the Commission's Sunshine Agenda until the Commission releases the text of a decision or order relating to that matter or removes the item from the Sunshine Agenda. The instant presentations addressed the merits of MB Docket No. 05-311, which was included in the Commission's Sunshine Agenda by Public Notice released December 13, 2006. A Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was released on March 5, 2007. Accordingly, under Section 1.1212 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R § 1.1212, presentations received during the Sunshine period, shall be associated with, but not made a part of, the record in MB Docket No. 05-192.1 The full text of these presentations are available for public inspection and copying during regular business hours at the FCC Reference Information Center, Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW, Room CY-A257, Washington, DC, 20554. Copies of these presentations may also be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW, 1 Our decision here does not apply to a letter dated January 5, 2007 submitted by the City Attorney for the City of Tampa. We have determined, in consultation with the Media Bureau, that it would serve the public interest to waive the sunshine period prohibition with respect to this presentation in the interest of fairness given that the letter responds to specific statements about the City that were made at the Commission meeting where the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was adopted. Accordingly, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a), which gives the Commission and its staff discretion to modify the ex parte rules in particular proceedings, the aforementioned presentation is made part of the record in MB Docket No. 05-311. We also note that the Chairman’s March 13, 2007 response to this letter has been added to the record for the sake of completeness. Room CY-B402, Washington, DC, 20554, telephone 1-800-378-3160, web site www.bcpiweb.com.
