§ 76.70   Exemption from input selector switch rules.

   (a) In any case of cable systems serving communities where no portion of the
   community is covered by the predicted Grade B contour of at least one full
   service  broadcast  television  station, or non-commercial educational
   television translator station operating with 5 or more watts output power
   and where the signals of no such broadcast stations are “significantly
   viewed” in the county where such a cable system is located, the cable system
   shall be exempt from the provisions of § 76.66. Cable systems may be eligible
   for this exemption where they demonstrate with engineering studies prepared
   in accordance with § 73.686 of this chapter or other showings that broadcast
   signals meeting the above criteria are not actually viewable within the
   community.

   (b)  Where  a  new  full  service broadcast television station, or new
   non-commercial educational television translator station with 5 or more
   watts,  or an existing such station of either type with newly upgraded
   facilities provides predicted Grade B service to a community served by a
   cable system previously exempt under paragraph (a) of this section, or the
   signal  of  any  such  broadcast  station  is  newly  determined to be
   “significantly viewed” in the county where such a cable system is located,
   the  cable  system  at  that time is required to comply fully with the
   provisions  of  § 76.66. Cable systems may retain their exemption under
   paragraph  (a) of this section where they demonstrate with engineering
   studies  prepared  in accordance with § 73.686 of this chapter or other
   showings that broadcast signals meeting the above criteria are not actually
   viewable within the community.
