users, examine methods, and may prescribe such regulations as
may be necessary, to enhance the privacy of users of such

''(3) Tampering prevention.--In prescribing regulations
pursuant to paragraph (1), the Commission shall consider

paragraph (1), the Commission shall consider requiring labels
on scanning receivers warning of the prohibitions in Federal

published or disclosed except to authorized users, as further
defined by Commission regulation.''.
