The FCC form 1240 is used by cable operators to file for annual rate adjustments to maximum permitted rates for regulated services to reflect external costs. The FCC form 1240 implements an optional rate methodology where cable operators are permitted to make annual rate adjustments, as opposed to quarterly FCC form 1210 rate adjustments. Cable operators' initial form 1240 filings are permitted to include projected rate changes attributable to the period between the last date for which historical cost data is available and the effective date of the new rates.
