§ 76.501 Cross-ownership.

* * * * *

Note 6 to § 76.501: In applying paragraph

(a) of § 76.501, for purposes of paragraph note

2(i) of this section, attribution of ownership

interests in an entity covered by this rule that

are held indirectly by any party through one

or more intervening organizations will be

determined by successive multiplication of

the ownership percentages for each link in

the vertical ownership chain and application

of the relevant attribution benchmark to the

resulting product. The ownership percentage

for any link in the chain that exceeds 50%

shall be included. [For example, if A owns

10% of company X, which owns 60% of

company Y, which owns 25% of ‘‘Licensee,’’

then X’s interest in ‘‘Licensee’’ would 15%

(0.6x0.25), and A’s interest in ‘‘Licensee’’

would be 1.5% (0.1x0.6x0.25).]

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document resolves a

number of issues concerning the

transition to digital broadcast television

(DTV). Among the issues resolved in the

Report and Order are: when to require

election by licensees of their posttransition DTV channel; whether to

require replication by DTV licensees of

their NTSC Grade B service contours;

whether to require enhanced service to

the principal community served by DTV

licensees; and how we should process

mutually exclusive applications. We

also address in this document a host of

technical issues and determine that at

this time there is no persuasive

information to indicate that there is any

deficiency in the 8–VSB modulation

system of the DTV transmission

standard that would cause us to revisit
