Sec. 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 Sec. 76.66. Cable systems may be eligible for this exemption where 
they demonstrate with engineering studies prepared in accordance with 
Sec. 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 Sec. 76.66. Cable systems may retain their exemption 
under paragraph (a) of this section where they demonstrate with 
engineering studies prepared in accordance with Sec. 73.686 of this 
chapter or other showings that broadcast signals meeting the above 
criteria are not actually viewable within the community.
