The Third R&O amended Section 101.1401 of the Commission's Rules to reflect this change, but inadvertently did not amend Section 101.1412(d). Section 101.1412 addresses the eligibility restrictions for cable operators, and referred to CEAs rather than DMAs in determining whether there is a significant overlap in service area for cable operators.

  • 23, 2002, the Commission released a Memorandum Opinion and Order and Second Report and Order (FCC 02-116) in the above captioned proceeding. This action inadvertently overwrote one paragraph that was recently added to Section 25.208 of the Commission's Rules. Therefore, with this Third Erratum, we correct the rules in Appendix D. In addition, the table of contents description of Section 101.1412 of the Commission's Rules, in Appendix D was incorrect and will be corrected to comport with the text of the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Second Report and Order. Moreover, Section 101.1417 of the Commission's Rules, ``Annual Report'' was incomplete. Therefore, with this Third Erratum we correct Section 101.1417 to conform to the text of the Memorandum Opinion and Order
