for the Commission to complete its review of the applications and make the necessary public
interest findings under section 310(d) of the Communications Act, by letter dated August 21, 2014,
we required that Charter submit additional information, documents and clarifications of certain
matters discussed in the applications. Therein, we noted that, if necessary, we would follow up
with additional requests for information and documents. By this letter, we hereby request that
Charter provide such information and documents, as specified in the enclosed Second Information

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Act,3 we request that the Charter provide
written responses and supporting documentation for each request set forth in the enclosed Second
