    Sector:

    Communications

    Sub-Sector:

    Broadcasting

    Industry Classification:

    CPC 7524 - Program Transmission Services

    Level of Government:

    Federal

    Measures:

    Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. §§ 309, 325

    Description:

    The United States will ensure that in considering applications for a grant of authority to transmit programming to foreign stations for retransmission into the United States under section 325 of the Communications Act of 1934 ("the Act"), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will not consider the nationality of the affected stations for the purpose of favoring a U.S. station that is competing with a Mexican station for affiliation with a U.S. programmer. Rather, the FCC will apply the criteria for the grant of such a permit in the same manner as they would be applied to a domestic broadcast station application under section 309 of the Act.



    In addition, the term of the section 325 permit shall be extended from one year to five years in all situations where it can be assured that the retransmitting station is and will be in full compliance with applicable treaties. In assessing the public interest, convenience and necessity required by the Act for the grant of authorization under section 325, the primary criterion will be avoiding the creation or maintenance of electrical interference to U.S. broadcast stations that violates applicable treaty provisions. In evaluating this and any other criterion permitted under section 309, the United States will ensure that the section 325 process is not conducted in a manner that would constitute an unnecessary restriction on trade.
