OMB APPROVES FCC FORM 1230; SMALL SYSTEMS RULES EFFECTIVE

On June 5, 1995, the Commission released a Sixth Report and Order and Eleventh Order on
Reconsideration in MM Docket Nos. 92-266 and 93-215, Implementation of Sections of the
Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992: Rate Regulation ("Sixth
Report and Order").  The Sixth Report and Order amends definitions of small cable entities to
encompass a broader range of cable systems that are eligible for special rate and
administrative treatment and provides additional relief for such systems.

To implement these rule changes, the Commission has created FCC Form 1230.  Form 1230
was approved by the Office of Management and Budget on August 21, 1995.  This date
serves as the effective date for the requirements and regulations adopted in the Sixth Report
and Order.  Copies of FCC Form 1230 can be obtained from the Commission's duplicating
contractor, International Transcription Service (ITS), at (202) 857-3800; and free of charge
from Garcia Consulting, Inc., at (202) 416-0919.  Copies can also be obtained via the
Commission's Fax on Demand System.  To obtain faxed copies, contact (202) 418-0177 from
