Implementation of Video Description of

Video Programming

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications

Commission seeks comment on The

Weather Channel’s request for

clarification regarding the aural tone

requirements of the Commission’s video

description rules. These rules require

that, if a broadcast station or

multichannel video programming

distributor provides emergency

information through a crawl or a scroll,

it must accompany that information

with an aural tone. The Weather

Channel seeks clarification that it is in

compliance with the rules when it

provides an aural tone prior to the first

time it provides a particular crawl or

scroll; in other words, The Weather

Channel seeks clarification that it need

not accompany each otherwise identical

crawl or scroll with an aural tone. In the

alternative, it seeks an exemption from

the rules.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or

before February 27, 2001; reply

comments must be filed on or before
