§ 37-204. Cable operator information.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The director may require the cable operator to produce information in addition to that submitted, including proprietary information, if reasonably needed to assist the city in making a rate determination.

    (b)

    A cable operator providing information requested to be kept confidential, including proprietary information, to the director for review in connection with a rate submission may make a written request to the director that the information not be made routinely available for public inspection. The cable operator shall attach a copy of the request to and cover all of the information and all copies of the information to which it applies. If feasible, the cable operator shall physically separate information to which the request applies from any information to which the request does not apply. If separation is not feasible, the portion of the information to which the request applies shall be identified. Each request shall contain a statement of the reasons for withholding inspection and a statement of the facts upon which those reasons are based. Casual requests that are overbroad or otherwise do not comply with the requirements of this subsection shall not be considered. The request for nondisclosure shall be treated and construed in accordance with applicable state and federal law, including without limitation the FCC rules and the Texas Open Records Act, Ch. 552, Texas Government Code. The burden of showing eligibility for nondisclosure is on the cable operator.
