such an industry committee could serve to improve its existing
procedures for adjusting the DTV Table of Allotments and for managing
requests for DTV station modifications as the transition to DTV
progresses.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 29, 1999, and reply
comments on or before April 28, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20554
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Stillwell (202-418-2470), Office
of Engineering and Technology.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Notice
of Proposed Rule Making in ET Docket No. 99-34, FCC 99-8, adopted
January 28, 1999, and released February 3, 1999. The full text of this
decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business
hours in the Public Reference Branch (Room 230), 1919 M Street, NW.,
Washington, DC. The complete text of this decision also may be
purchased from the Commission's duplicating contractor, International
Transcription Service, 1231 20th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20036,

Summary of the Notice of Proposed Rule Making
1. In the NPRM, the Commission sought comment on the establishment
of an industry coordination committee to assist in the implementation
of digital television (DTV) service. The Commission indicated that it
believes that such an industry committee may aid its efforts to provide
fair and efficient means for adjusting the DTV Table of Allotments and
for managing requests for DTV station modifications as the transition
to DTV progresses. It stated that a coordination committee might also
serve to provide assistance in managing any further requests for
modification of analog (NTSC) television stations during the transition
and on other issues such as inter-service sharing arrangements.
2. The Commission indicated that it believes that the general
principles and policies that were applied in establishing rules for
frequency coordination in the land mobile services are also relevant
and appropriate for guiding the development of an industry coordination
committee system for broadcast television. It presented a number of
proposals for the DTV industry coordination committee system that were
generally based on a plan suggested in a Petition for Rule Making
submitted by the Broadcasters' Caucus. These proposals, which are
presented below, address the following issues: (a) the structure of a
DTV industry coordination committee system; (b) its functions; (c) the
operation of the Committee system; (d) the selection of the DTV
frequency coordinators; and (e) the Commission's oversight of committee
operations. The Commission invited interested parties to submit
suggestions for any changes in these proposals or alternative
approaches relating to an industry committee system that they believe
would serve to improve the process for modifying the DTV Table and/or
to provide other assistance to the Commission on television spectrum
matters.
3. The Commission also indicated that if it decides to establish a
DTV coordination committee system, it will need to decide whether to
make participation in the committee process mandatory or voluntary. It
therefore requested comment on whether to require that television
station applicants, construction permit holders, licensees and others
with proposals that would affect TV spectrum coordinate their proposals
through the industry committee process or simply make participation in
that process voluntary. It noted that under a mandatory approach, the
industry coordination committee system would replace its existing rules
for voluntary negotiation of DTV allotment and facility modifications.
The Commission also reiterated its statement in the Memorandum Opinion
and Order on Reconsideration of the Sixth Report and Order in the DTV
proceeding, MM Docket No. 87-268, 13 FCC Rcd 6860, 63 FR 15774, April
11, 1998, that it intends that consideration of an industry
coordination committee system not delay the implementation of DTV
service. It therefore advised broadcasters that it will continue to
process applications for DTV stations and requests for modification of
facilities during the course of this proceeding. Broadcasters preparing
DTV applications and/or station modification requests therefore should
not delay the filing of those applications.
4. Under the structural plan proposed by the Commission, the
coordination of allotment and station changes would be organized on the
basis of regional committees operating under the umbrella of a national
organization (national coordinator). The national coordinator would
establish an organizational structure and administrative system for the
regional committees, manage a nationwide data base, maintain procedures
and software systems for performing technical analyses, and monitor the
work of the regional committees. The regional coordinating committees
would conduct evaluations and provide recommendations/advice to the
Commission and would also coordinate among local stations and within
the industry. The Commission did not present a plan for a specific
number of regional coordinating committees or for the boundaries of the
regions in which they would operate. Rather, it requested that
interested parties submit comments and suggestions with regard to this
issue and indicated that it would select an appropriate number of
committees and define the boundaries of the regions in which the
individual committees would operate after considering such submissions.
The Commission also requested comment on whether it might be more
desirable to adopt an alternative approach under which the Commission
would specify requirements for the organization and administration of
the regional committees and the national coordinator and for the manner
in which they would interact. Parties supporting such an approach were
requested to submit
[[Page 6297]]
specific suggestions for a plan of organizational requirements.
5. The Commission stated that, consistent with its position on
frequency coordinators in the DTV proceeding, it believes it is
important that any coordination system for the broadcast television
industry be open to all affected parties, including low power
television and TV translator stations and the public. It therefore
proposed to require that the membership and processes of the DTV
coordinating committee system be open to all affected parties.
6. The Commission envisioned that the principal function of the DTV
industry coordination system would be to process and evaluate proposals
for changes in DTV and NTSC station facilities and for changes to the
DTV Table of Allotments and to make recommendations to the Commission
on these matters. As suggested by the Caucus, the goal of the
coordination system would be to accommodate reasonable requests for
facility and allotment changes/additions without creating unacceptable
interference to neighboring DTV or NTSC stations. In this regard, the
industry coordinating committees would provide assistance to both
broadcasters and the Commission in assessing the feasibility, in terms
of affects on interference and service areas, of modifications in the
power, antenna height, antenna pattern, or transmitter site of DTV and
NTSC stations, of changes in DTV channels, including negotiated
exchanges on an intra-or inter-market basis, and of proposed new DTV
allotments. In addition to the station/allotment coordination function,
the Commission identified a number of tasks and activities relating to
evaluation of service coverage and interference and selection of
channels that the coordinating committees could possibly perform to aid
in the implementation of DTV service.
7. As indicated above, the national coordinator would be
responsible for maintaining an accurate, up-to-date engineering data
base of allotments, licensed stations, construction permits,
applications and petitions for rule making. This data base, which would
correspond in content and format with the engineering data base
maintained by the FCC, would be used by the regional coordinating
committees in their coordination work. The national coordinator would
also be responsible for maintaining and managing a national system of
methodology and software for use in performing studies and engineering
evaluations. This methodology and software would be required to conform
the Commission's DTV allotment and station modification standards and
to the methodological guidance provided in its OET Bulletin No. 69. The
national coordinator would further be responsible for monitoring the
performance of the regional committees to ensure that studies and
evaluations were being performed in a consistent manner and in
accordance with all applicable policies and regulations.
8. As proposed by the Commission, coordination committee actions
would begin with the submission of a request for facility or allotment
changes or for information on interference and coverage. The request
would be submitted to the appropriate regional coordinating committee
on standard forms, with justification as applicable. The coordinator
would then examine and evaluate the request. The coordinator would also
be responsible for notifying all other stations in the area that would
potentially be affected by the request of its preliminary assessment
and providing them with an opportunity to comment, object or suggest
their own proposals. In this role, the coordinating committee would
also be expected to facilitate negotiations between the party or
parties seeking changes and any stations that would be affected by
those changes. After completing these activities, a committee
coordinator would submit its assessment of the change proposed in the
request and any alternative proposals, as appropriate, to the
Commission, along with its recommendations. Coordinating committee
assessments and recommendations would be limited to the technical
viability of proposals, without regard to whether the requested changes
would be consistent with any other applicable regulations.
9. Consistent with the approach used with land mobile frequency
coordinators and the recommendations of the Caucus, the Commission
proposed to establish certain rules for the processing of coordination
requests by the DTV industry coordination committees. In this regard,
it proposed:
--To require that the DTV industry coordinators accept and process all
requests without discriminating among users;
--To permit the DTV industry coordination committees to charge
reasonable, cost-based fees for providing information to stations and
processing requests for facility and channel changes/additions;
--To require that, as a general practice, the committee coordinators
process requests in the order received and to require that they
maintain logs; and,
--To require that requests be processed in a timely manner.
10. The Commission requested comment on how those who would lead
the DTV coordination committee system should be selected and how it
should provide for the start-up of this organization. It noted that one
approach would be for the Commission to select an entity to head the
national committee organization, and then allow the national
organization to proceed with selection of the regional, in accordance
with that organization's stated plan for the regional committee
structure and administrative system. Another approach would be for the
Commission to select entities to head the national organization and the
regional coordination committees. In selecting parties to lead the
coordination committee system, the Commission proposed to consider a
number of factors, including:
--The extent to which the applicant is representative of all broadcast
television interest groups;
--The applicant's technical knowledge and expertise in performing the
analyses and evaluations used in the coordination process and plans for
the software and methodology to use in accomplishing DTV and NTSC
interference and service area engineering studies on a nationwide
basis; and,
--The applicant's plan for coordinating the DTV service.
11. The Commission stated that it believes it is important to
exercise oversight of the DTV coordination committee system. It stated
that, in addition to the investigation of complaints, it would conduct
regular, perhaps on a six or twelve month basis, and ad hoc discussions
with the regional committees and the national organization to review
their performance, ensure they are conducting evaluations and analyses
in accordance with established policies and regulations, and also to
determine whether any changes might be needed in our policies based on
experience gained through their work. Coordinators found to be
unsatisfactory would be replaced. As suggested by the Caucus, the
Commission's policies in this oversight would be developed on a case-
by-case basis, so that an effective ``common law'' would develop.
Procedural Matters
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis
12. This Notice of Proposed Rule Making has been analyzed with
respect to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
[[Page 6298]]
Pub. L. 104-13, and found to impose no new or modified information
collection requirements on the public.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis
13. As required by Section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 603, the Commission has prepared an Initial Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) of the expected significant economic impact
on small entities by the policies and rules proposed in this Notice of
Proposed Rule Making in ET Docket No. 99-34. Written public comments
are requested on the IRFA. Comments must be identified as responses to
the IRFA and must be filed by the deadlines for comments on the NPRM
provided below.
Need for and Objectives of the Proposed Rule
14. In this rule making action the Commission seeks comment on
proposals for the establishment of an industry DTV coordination
committee system to process and evaluate proposed changes to the Table
of Allotments for digital television (DTV) service and related matters
involving use of the television frequencies. It indicated that it
believes that such an industry committee system may aid its efforts to
provide fair and efficient means for adjusting the DTV Table and for
managing requests for DTV station modifications as the transition to
DTV progresses. In this regard, the Commission indicated that an
industry coordination committee system could serve to improve its
existing procedures by minimizing the number of petitions for rule
making that are filed to change the DTV Table and encouraging the
development of regional solutions to shared problems. A coordination
committee system might also serve to provide assistance in managing any
further requests for modification of analog (NTSC) television stations
during the transition and on other issues such as inter-service sharing
arrangements. The objective of this action is to obtain comment and
information that will assist us in determining whether such an industry
committee system is needed and to establish rules and policies for its
structure, functions, operation, membership selection and oversight by
the Commission.
Legal Basis
15. The proposed action is authorized under Sections 4(i), 7, 301,
303, 307, and 336 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47
U.S.C. 154(i), 301, 302, 303, 307, and 336.
Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which The
Rules Will Apply
I. Definition of a ``Small Business''
16. Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, small entities may
include small organizations, small businesses, and small governmental
jurisdictions. 5 U.S.C. 601(6). The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601(3) generally defines the term ``small business'' as having
the same meaning as the term ``small business concern'' under the Small
Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 632. A small business concern is one which: (1)
is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field
of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by
the Small Business Administration (``SBA''). Id. According to the SBA's
regulations, entities engaged in television broadcasting may have a
maximum of $10.5 million in annual receipts in order to qualify as a
small business concern. 13 CFR 121.201. This standard also applies in
determining whether an entity is a small business for purposes of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
17. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 601(3), the statutory definition of a
small business applies ``unless an agency after consultation with the
Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration and after
opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more definitions of
such term which are appropriate to the activities of the agency and
publishes such definition(s) in the Federal Register.'' For purposes of
this Notice of Proposed Rule Making, we utilize the SBA's definition in
determining the number of small businesses to which the rules apply,
although we believe that that definition of ``small business''
overstates the number of television broadcast stations that are small
businesses. Further, in this IRFA, we will identify the different
classes of small television stations that may be impacted by the rules
adopted in this Notice of Proposed Rule Making.
II. Issues in Applying the Definition of a ``Small Business''
18. SBA has defined ``annual receipts'' specifically in 13 CFR 104,
and its calculations include an averaging process. We do not currently
require submission of financial data from licensees that we could use
to apply the SBA's definition of a small business. Thus, for purposes
of estimating the number of small entities to which the rules apply, we
are limited to considering the revenue data that are publicly
available, and the revenue data on which we rely may not correspond
completely with the SBA definition of annual receipts.
19. Under SBA criteria for determining annual receipts, if a
concern has acquired an affiliate or been acquired as an affiliate
during the applicable averaging period for determining annual receipts,
the annual receipts in determining size status include the receipts of
both firms. 13 CFR 121.104(d)(1). The SBA defines affiliation in 13 CFR
121.103. While we refer to an affiliate generally as a station
affiliated with a network, the SBA's definition of affiliate is
analogous to our attribution rules. Generally, under the SBA's
definition, concerns are affiliates of each other when one concern
controls or has the power to control the other, or a third party or
parties controls or has the power to control both. 13 CFR
121.103(a)(1). The SBA considers factors such as ownership, management,
previous relationships with or ties to another concern, and contractual
relationships, in determining whether affiliation exists. 13 CFR
121.103(a)(2). Instead of making an independent determination of
whether television stations were affiliated based on SBA's definitions,
we relied on the industry data bases available to us to afford us that
information.
III. Estimates Based on Census and BIA Data
20. According to the Census Bureau, in 1992, there were 1,155 out
of 1,478 operating television stations with revenues of less than ten
million dollars. This represents 78 percent of all television stations,
including non-commercial stations. See 1992 Census of Transportation,
Communications, and Utilities, Establishment and Firm Size, May 1995,
at 1-25. The Census Bureau does not separate the revenue data by
commercial and non-commercial stations in this report. Neither does it
allow us to determine the number of stations with a maximum of 10.5
million dollars in annual receipts. Census data also indicates that 81
percent of operating firms (that owned at least one television station)
had revenues of less than $10 million.
21. We have also performed a separate study based on the data
contained in the BIA Publications, Inc. Master Access Television
Analyzer Database, which lists a total of 1,141 full-power commercial
television stations. It should be noted that the percentage figures
derived from the data base may be underinclusive because the data base
does not list revenue estimates for noncommercial educational stations,
and these are therefore excluded from our calculations based on the
data base.
[[Page 6299]]
Non-commercial stations would be subject to the allotment rules and
policies proposed herein. The data indicate that, based on 1995 revenue
estimates, 440 full-power commercial television stations had an
estimated revenue of 10.5 million dollars or less. That represents 54
percent of commercial television stations with revenue estimates listed
in the BIA program. The data base does not list estimated revenues for
331 stations. Using a worst case scenario, if those 331 stations for
which no revenue is listed are counted as small stations, there would
be a total of 771 stations with an estimated revenue of 10.5 million
dollars or less, representing approximately 68 percent of the 1,141
commercial television stations listed in the BIA data base.
22. Alternatively, if we look at owners of commercial television
stations as listed in the BIA data base, there are a total of 488
owners. The data base lists estimated revenues for 60 percent of these
owners, or 295. Of these 295 owners, 158 or 54 percent had annual
revenues of $10.5 million or less. Using a worst case scenario, if the
193 owners for which revenue is not listed are assumed to be small, the
total of small entities would constitute 72 percent of owners.
23. In summary, based on the foregoing worst case analysis using
census data, we estimate that our rules could affect as many as 1,155
commercial and non-commercial television stations (78 percent of all
stations) that could be classified as small entities. Using a worst
case analysis based on the data in the BIA data base, we estimate that
as many as approximately 771 commercial television stations (about 68
percent of all commercial television stations) could be classified as
small entities. As we noted above, these estimates are based on a
definition that we believe greatly overstates the number of television
broadcasters that are small businesses. Further, it should be noted
that under the SBA's definitions, revenues of affiliates that are not
television stations should be aggregated with the television station
revenues in determining whether a concern is small. The estimates
overstate the number of small entities since the revenue figures on
which they are based do not include or aggregate such revenues from
non-television affiliated companies.
24. The proposed DTV industry coordination committee system could
also affect low power television (LPTV) and TV translator stations. Our
records indicate that currently there are about 1,750 licensed LPTV
stations and 5,050 licensed TV translators. We have also issued about
1,400 construction permits for new LPTV stations. We do not collect
individual station financial data for LPTV and TV translator stations.
However, based on our experience with LPTV and TV translator stations,
we believe that all such stations have revenues of less than $10.5
million. We also seek information on the number of low power stations
that operate commercially and noncommercially.
IV. Alternative Classification of Small Stations
25. An alternative way to classify small television stations is by
the number of employees. We currently apply a standard based on the
number of employees in administering its Equal Employment Opportunity
Rule (EEO) for broadcasting. Thus, radio or television stations with
fewer than five full-time employees are exempted from certain EEO
reporting and recordkeeping requirements. We estimate that the total
numbers of commercial and noncommercial television stations with 4 or
fewer employees are 132 and 136, respectively. These estimates do not
include LPTV stations, for which we do not collect employment data.
Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other Compliance
Requirements
26. The proposals set forth in this action would involve no changes
to reporting, recordkeeping and other compliance requirements beyond
what is already required under the current regulations.
Federal Rules Which Overlap, Duplicate or Conflict With These Rules
27. None.
Significant Alternatives To Proposed Rules Which Minimize Significant
Economic Impact of Small Entities and Accomplish Stated Objectives
28. The DTV industry coordination committee system proposed in this
action would be available for use by all commercial and noncommercial
broadcast television stations desiring to change their DTV facilities
and/or channels or their NTSC facilities and by parties seeking to add
new channel allotments to the DTV Table of Allotments. This
coordination system would be used by existing full service stations,
low power stations and those seeking to establish new stations on a
voluntary basis. Stations would also be allowed to use their own
internal resources or the services of consultants to obtain the
analyses and evaluations that would be performed by the committee
coordinators. We therefore believe that our proposal would result in
the minimum impact on those needing such services. We have, however,
requested comment on whether we should require that facility changes,
channel changes, and new allotments be coordinated through the services
of the industry coordination committee system. In this case, we have
sought to minimize the impact on those using the coordination system by
requiring that charges for services be reasonable and cost based and
that services be provided in a timely manner. At this time we have no
information on the approximate cost of the services that would be
provided by the industry coordinating committees. We also do not know
how many stations may seek such changes, although we expect that most
of the changes sought will be to increase station's DTV service areas.
We expect that the number of requests for addition of new DTV
allotments will be approximately the same as we now receive each year,
i.e. approximately 50 requests.
29. An alternative approach would be to establish specific
allowable charges for services and specific time-periods within which
requests for coordination must be completed. However, we generally
believe that it would be difficult to establish a schedule of
appropriate fees and required completion time-periods due to the great
variation in complexity of the services to be performed and the time
and resources needed to fulfill the requests. We seek comment and
suggestions for alternatives that would further reduce any impact that
an industry coordination committee system would have on those seeking
to modify existing stations or to establish new stations.
30. As we observed in the DTV proceeding, implementation of DTV
service will affect low power television (LPTV) and TV translator
stations. Total investment in the LPTV and TV translator facilities is
estimated to be about $150--$250 million. Studies by our staff indicate
that there is not sufficient spectrum to accommodate both low power
stations and DTV stations. These studies estimate that up to about one-
third of all LPTV stations and one-quarter of all TV translators may
have to cease operation to make way for DTV stations. In general, most
LPTV stations within major markets will be affected, while rural
operations will be affected to lesser degrees. We generally believe
that the industry coordinating committee system would serve to provide
a relatively low-cost
[[Page 6300]]
source of assistance to LPTV and TV translator stations that will need
to modify their existing operations or seek displacement channels to
avoid interference to DTV service. We seek comment on whether there are
specific actions we could take in establishing the industry
coordination system to further aid low power stations.
