§  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.
