    MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES EFFECTIVE DATES OF CABLECARD RULES
    CS Docket No. 97-80; PP Docket No. 00-67
    The Commission released a Third Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration (“Order”) in this
    docket in which the Commission adopted several rules to reform the CableCARD regime.1
    In the Order,
    the Commission stated that the rules would become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal
    Register, except for rule sections that contain information collection requirements subject to the
    Paperwork Reduction Act, which would become effective immediately upon announcement in the
    Federal Register of approval from the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”).2

    The Federal Register published the Order on July 8, 20113
    and the notice of OMB’s approval of the
    information collections on July 25, 2011.4 The rules adopted in the Order are effective on August 8,

    subsequent Order on Reconsideration and Erratum. Implementation of Section 304 of the Telecommunications Act
    of 1996: Commercial Availability of Navigation Devices; Compatibility Between Cable Systems and Consumer

    76 FR 40263 (July 8, 2011).
    4
    76 FR 44279 (July 25, 2011). Rather than being effective immediately upon publication of OMB approval in
    the Federal Register, those rules will have the same effective date as the other rules adopted in the Order: August
    8, 2011.
    2
    2011, with two exceptions. First, Section 76.640(b)(4)(iii), which requires cable operators to include a
    home networking output on high-definition set-top boxes (except for unidirectional, non-recording settop boxes), has an effective date of December 1, 2012. Second, and only with respect to operators that
    did not previously offer self install for leased boxes or cable modems and needed time to establish the
    necessary customer support infrastructure, Section 76.1205(b)(1)’s requirement that cable operators
    provide the means to allow subscribers to self-install CableCARDs becomes effective on November 1,
    2011.
