Sec. 76.71 Scope of application.
(a) The provisions of this subpart shall apply to any corporation,
partnership, association, joint-stock company, or trust engaged primarily in
the management or operation of any cable system. Cable entities subject to
these provisions include those systems defined in Sec. 76.5(a), all satellite
master antenna television systems serving 50 or more subscribers, and any
multichannel video programming distributor. For purposes of the provisions
of this subpart, a multichannel video programming distributor is an entity
such as, but not limited to, a cable operator, a BRS/EBS provider, a direct
broadcast satellite service, a television receive-only satellite program
distributor, or a video dialtone program service provider, who makes
available for purchase, by subscribers or customers, multiple channels of
video programming, whether or not a licensee. Multichannel video programming
distributors do not include any entity which lacks control over the video
programming distributed. For purposes of this subpart, an entity has control
over the video programming it distributes, if it selects video programming
channels or programs and determines how they are presented for sale to
consumers. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, the regulations in this subpart
are not applicable to the owners or originators (of programs or channels of
programming) that distribute six or fewer channels of commonly-owned video
programming over a leased transport facility. For purposes of this subpart,
programming services are “commonly-owned” if the same entity holds a
majority of the stock (or is a general partner) of each program service.
(b) Employment units. The provisions of this subpart shall apply to cable
entities as employment units. Each cable entity may be considered a separate
employment unit; however, where two or more cable entities are under common
ownership or control and are interrelated in their local management,
operation, and utilization of employees, they shall constitute a single
employment unit.
(c) Headquarters office. A multiple cable operator shall treat as a separate
employment unit each headquarters office to the extent the work of that
office is primarily related to the operation of more than one employment
unit as described in paragraph (b) of this section.
