improperly failed to address the issue of DBOVS' lack of facilities over which to provide its open video service.  SN- ` Ax5.` ` With regard to information contained in DBOVS' application concerning channel capacity,  S&- xzCCTA asserts that DBOVS' statement that it intends to provide 500 six MHz channels is technically  xinfeasible and that that statement demonstrates DBOVS' lack of technical qualifications sufficient to"F ,>(>(II4"  S- xoperate an open video system.7 U {Oh-ԍId. at 8.7 CCTA argues that the channel capacity anticipated by DBOVS would  xjrequire approximately three GHz of bandwidth, a feat that is not technically feasible. CCTA argues that  S-the Bureau's acceptance of DBOVS' statement concerning channel capacity constitutes a material error. d ZU {O-ԍId. at 9, citing 47 C.F.R.  1.115(b)(2)(iv).d  S`- ` }x6.` ` CCTA states that the Bureau's failure to require DBOVS to provide additional information  xLin its certification application encourages prospective open video system applicants to "stockpile" open  x.video system certifications without the need to provide basic information regarding compliance with the  S- x[Commission's rules governing open video system operations.7 U {Ot -ԍId. at 6.7 Specifically, CCTA argues that DBOVS'  xcertification application is deficient in that it did not provide sufficient information concerning its technical  xqualifications and network capabilities, corporate structure and financing, intention to provide affiliated  xand nonaffiliated programming, compliance with existing legal obligations, and any approvals obtained  xfrom local communities. To guard against the acquisition of multiple certifications by prospective open  xvideo system operators, CCTA suggests that the certification application be modified to require the  S -certification applicant to supply additional information.? ~U {O-ԍId. at 67.?  S - ` x7.` ` In response to CCTA's Application for Review, DBOVS states that CCTA's arguments  xare without merit. DBOVS asserts that CCTA's position in opposing DBOVS' certification as an open  x>video system operator is contrary to the goal of promoting competition within the cable industry, as  S0- xNembodied in the Telecommunications Act of 1996.80U yO-ԍOpposition at 1.8 DBOVS further asserts that the information  xcontained in its certification application shows that, with regard to technical requirements to operate an  S- xopen video system, it is wellqualified and that it satisfies all other requirements of the Commission's  S- xrules governing open video systems. Finally, DBOVS pledges to stand by the representations made in  S-its application for certification on FCC Form 1275.1U {O-ԍId.1  S@- III.xDISCUSSION  S- ` _x8.` ` Under Section 1.115(b)(2), any person aggrieved by an action taken pursuant to delegated  S- x[authority may seek Commission review if the action complained of is in conflict with statute, regulation,  S- xcase precedent, or established Commission policy.C2 U yOr#-ԍ47 C.F.R.  1.115(b)(2).C Under Section 1.115(b)(2)(iv), any aggrieved person  Sx- x{may apply for Commission review if the action complained of is an erroneous finding based on an  SP-important or material question of fact.GP U yO&-ԍ47 C.F.R.  1.115(b)(2)(iv).G "PR ,>(>(II"Ԍ S- ` Bԙx9.` ` CCTA argues that the Bureau's decision to grant DBOVS' application warrants review  S- xbecause the action is inconsistent with Congress' intent to establish the open video system framework for  S- x[facilitiesbased service providers. Section 76.1501 of the Commission's rules describes the qualifications  xfor certification and states, in relevant part, that any person may obtain a certification to operate an open  Sb- xvideo system.zbU {O-ԍ47 C.F.R  76.1501; see also Section 653(a)(1) of the Communications Act.z Further, Section 76.1502 prescribes the specific information which must be provided and  S:- x=the representations that must be made by an applicant for open video system certification.H:ZU yO4-ԍ47 C.F.R.  76.1502.H Nothing in  xOour rules governing the certification process requires an applicant to demonstrate or to make a  xjrepresentation that it is currently a facilitiesbased service provider. CCTA's objection to DBOVS's lack  S-of facilities does not constitute grounds for review.  S-  Sr- `  x10.` ` Next, CCTA argues that the Bureau's decision warrants review because DBOVS' statement  xof anticipated channel capacity, given current technology, is not feasible and therefore constitutes a  xmaterial error under Section 1.115(b)(2)(iv). We do not agree. The 10day statutory review period for  S - xzsuch filings requires the Commission to confine its review to the FCC Form 1275. In establishing the  xopen video system certification requirements, we determined that requiring a certification applicant to  x make certain limited representations on FCC Form 1275 would serve the twin goals of maintaining a  x?streamlined certification process while ensuring that the prospective open video system operator  SZ- xacknowledged its responsibilities under Commission rules.WZU {O-ԍSecond Report and Order at  31.W FCC Form 1275 requires open video system  xcertification applicants to state their anticipated channel capacity. Nothing in the Telecommunications Act  xof 1996 or in the Commission's rules requires the Bureau to determine the technical accuracy of an  S- xapplicant's statement of anticipated channel capacity. |U yO- xԍThe Bureau explained the required representations that must be made by an open video system applicant with  {O- xregard to anticipated channel capacity in Metropolitan Fiber Systems of New York, Inc. d/b/a MFS Telecom of New  {O- xYork and Metropolitan Fiber Systems/McCourt, Inc., DA 961912, 11 FCC Rcd 14980 (1996). In that case, the  xiBureau denied the open video system certification application filed by Metropolitan Fiber Systems of New York,  yO"- x;Inc. and Metropolitan Fiber Systems/McCourt, Inc., (collectively "MFS") because MFS improperly failed to provide  xxthe maximum total anticipated channel capacity of its system as required by FCC Form 1275. The Bureau found  xhthat MFS corrected this deficiency in a subsequent filing of its certification application by clearly stating MFS's total  {Oz- xanticipated channel capacity. Metropolitan Fiber Systems of New York, Inc. d/b/a MFS Telecom of New York and  {OD-Metropolitan Fiber Systems/McCourt, Inc. DA 962075 (Cab. Serv. Bur., released December 9, 1996).  The DBOVS Order states that the Commission  x-retains the authority to revoke an open video system operator's certification or impose such other penalties  xit deems appropriate, including forfeiture, should any representations made in its certification application  Sl- x.prove to be materially false or materially inaccurate.\lT U {O`"- xԍDBOVS Order at  7, citing, Second Report and Order at  36. The Commission's rules permit any party  xiaggrieved by conduct that it alleges to be violative of the open video system regulations to file a complaint with  {O#-the Commission. This provision includes video programming providers. 47 C.F.R.  76.1513 et seq. We find that the Bureau's acceptance of DBOVS'  xrepresentation with regard to its anticipated channel capacity does not constitute material error subject to review.  S- "x,>(>(II%"Ԍ S- ` x11.` ` Finally, CCTA argues that the Bureau erred by failing to require DBOVS to provide  S- xcertain information in addition to the information currently required on FCC Form 1275.U yO@- xԍFCC Form 1275 requires open video system certification applicants to provide the following information: (1)  xthe applicant's name, address and telephone number; (2) a statement of ownership, including affiliated entities; (3)  xif the applicant is a cable operator applying for certification in its cable franchise area, a statement that the applicant  xis qualified under Section 76.1501 of the Commission's rules; (4) a statement that the applicant agrees to comply  xand to remain in compliance with each of the Commission's regulations in  76.1503, 76.1504, 76.1506(m),  x76.1508, 76.1509, and 76.1513; (5) if the applicant is required under 47 CFR  64.903(a) to file a cost allocation  x,manual, a statement that the applicant will file changes to its manual at least 60 days before the commencement of  xservice; (6) the names of local communities in which the applicant intends to operate; (7) the anticipated amount  xKand type, i.e., analog or digital, of capacity and, for switched digital systems, the anticipated number of available  xchannel input ports; and (8) a statement that the applicant will comply with the Commission's notice and enrollment requirements for unaffiliated video programming providers. 47 C.F.R.  76.1502(c).  The Bureau  S- xcorrectly determined that DBOVS provided the required information and could not be denied certification  xon the grounds that it did not voluntarily provide information not required by the Commission's rules.  xjCCTA's position appears to reflect its overall views concerning the Commission's implementation of the  xKopen video system provisions of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. CCTA states that it "has consistently  S- xheld [the] position that the Commission's [Second Report and Order and Third Report and Order] violate  xLthe 1996 [Telecommunications] Act in a number of respects." The Commission's application for review  S-process is not intended to revisit issues resolved in its rulemaking decisions.( U {O-ԍSee 47 C.F.R. 1.399 et seq. for Commission rulemaking procedures; Application for Review at n. 12. x  Sr- ` _x12.` ` CCTA has raised no new arguments, nor has it introduced new evidence which bears upon  xNthe adequacy or accuracy of the information which was required to be provided by DBOVS in its  S" - xcertification application. In light of the foregoing, we find that CCTA's Application for Review fails to  S - x]raise issues which warrant review under either Section 1.115(b)(2)(i) or Section 1.115(b)(2)(iv) of  S -Commission rules.
