Implementation of the Cable Operations and Licensing System (COALS) to Allow for Electronic Filing

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposes to amend its regulations governing the filing of forms and applications for the Cable Services Bureau. These proposed rule changes are designed to facilitate the FCC's implementation of the Cable Operations and Licensing Systems (COALS), a new electronic filing system. The Notice constitutes part of the FCC's ongoing review of its regulations consistent with the biennial review process mandated by Section 11 of the Communications Act. COALS will enable all cable services applicants, licensees and registrants to file electronically, thus increasing the speed and efficiency of the application and filing process. COALS will also make license and cable operational information more accessible to Commission staff and will enhance the availability of cable system information to the cable industry and the public.
