Problem: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Community Broadcasters Protection
Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that:
(1) Since the creation of low-power television licenses by
the Federal Communications Commission, a number of license
holders have operated their stations in a manner beneficial to
the public good providing broadcasting to their communities
that would not otherwise be available.
(2) These low-power broadcasters have operated their
stations in a manner consistent with the programming objectives
and hours of operation of full-power broadcasters providing
worthwhile services to their respective communities while under
severe license limitations compared to their full-power
counterparts.
(3) License limitations, particularly the temporary nature
of the license, have blocked many low-power broadcasters from
having access to capital, and have severely hampered their
ability to continue to provide quality broadcasting,
programming, or improvements.
(4) The passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has
added to the uncertainty of the future status of these stations
by the lack of specific provisions regarding the permanency of
their licenses, or their treatment during the transition to
high definition, digital television.
(5) It is in the public interest to promote diversity in
television programming formats by encouraging low power
television stations that serve foreign language communities.
These communities should not lose their access to foreign
language programming as a result of the transition to digital
television.

SEC. 3. PRESERVATION OF LOW-POWER COMMUNITY TELEVISION BROADCASTING.

(a) Section 336 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 336)
is amended:
(1) by redesignating subsections (f) and (g) as subsections
(g) and (h), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after subsection (e) the following new
subsection:
''(f) Preservation of Low-Power Community Television
Broadcasting.--
''(1) Creation of class a licenses.--Within 120 days after
the date of enactment of the Community Broadcasters Protection
Act of 1999, the Commission shall prescribe regulations to
establish a class A television license to be available to
licensees of qualifying low-power television stations. Such
license shall be subject to the same license terms, and renewal
standards as the licenses for full-power television stations
except as provided in this section, and each class A licensee
shall be accorded primary status as a television broadcaster as
long as the station continues to meet the requirements for a
qualifying low-power station in paragraph (2). Within 30 days
after the date of enactment of the Community Broadcasters
Protection Act of 1999, the Commission shall send a notice to
the licensees of all low-power television licenses that
describes the requirements for Class A designation. Within 60
days after the date of enactment of the Community Broadcasters
Protection Act of 1999, licensees intending to seek Class A
designation shall submit to the Commission a certification of
eligibility based on the qualification requirements of this
Act. Absent a material deficiency, the Commission shall grant
certification of eligibility to apply for Class A status. The
Commission shall act to preserve the contours of low-power
television licensees pending the final resolution of a Class A
application. Under the requirements set forth in paragraph (2)
(A) and (B) and paragraph (6) of this subsection, a licensee
may submit an application for Class A designation under this
paragraph only within 30 days after final regulations are
adopted, except as provided for in paragraph (6)(A). The
Commission shall, within 30 days after receipt of an
application that is acceptable for filing, award such a Class A
television station license to any licensee of a qualifying low-
power television station. If, after granting certification of
eligibility or a Class A license, unforeseen technical problems
arise that require an engineering solution to a station's
allotted parameters or channel assignment in the digital
television Table of Allotments, the Commission may make such
modifications as are necessary to ensure replication of the
digital television applicant's service area as provided for in
section 622 of the Commission's regulations (47 CFR 602).
''(2) Qualifying low-power television stations.--For
purposes of this subsection, a station is a qualifying low-
power television station if:
''(A) during the 90 days preceding the date of
enactment of the Community Broadcasters Protection Act
of 1999:
''(i) such station broadcast a minimum of
18 hours per day;
''(ii) such station broadcast an average of
at least 3 hours per week of programming that
was produced within the market area served by
such station, or the market area served by a
group of commonly controlled stations that
carry common local programming not otherwise
available to their communities; and
''(iii) such station was in compliance with
the Commission's requirements applicable to
low-power television stations; and
''(B) from and after the date of its application
for a Class A license, the station is in compliance
with the Commission's operating rules for full power
television stations; or
''(C) the Commission determines that the public
interest, convenience, and necessity would be served by
treating the station as a qualifying low-power
television station for purposes of this section, or for
other reasons determined by the Commission.
''(3) Common ownership.--No low-power television station
that is authorized as of the date of enactment of the Community
Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999 shall be disqualified for a
class A license based on common ownership with any medium of
mass communication.
''(4) Issuance of licenses for advanced television services
to qualifying low-power television stations.--The Commission is
not required to issue any additional licenses for advanced
television services to the licensees of the class A television
stations but shall accept such license applications proposing
facilities that will not cause interference to any other
broadcast facility authorized on the date of filing of the
Class A advanced television applications. Such new license or
the original license of the applicant shall be forfeited at the
end of the digital television transition. Low-power television
station licensees may, at the option of licensee, elect to
convert to the provision of advanced television services on its
analog channel, but shall not be required to convert to digital
operation until the end of the digital television transition.
''(5) No preemption of section 337.--Nothing in this
section preempts section 337 of this Act.
''(6) Interim qualification.--
''(A) Stations operating within certain
bandwidth.--The Commission may not grant a Class A
license to a low power television station operating
between 698 and 806 megahertz, but the Commission shall
provide to low power television stations assigned to
and temporarily operating in that bandwidth the
opportunity to meet the qualification requirements for
a Class A license. When such a qualified applicant for
a Class A license is assigned a channel within the core
spectrum, the Commission shall simultaneously issue a
Class A license.
''(B) Certain channels off-limits.--The Commission
may not grant a channel within the core spectrum under
this subsection that includes any of the 175 additional
channels referenced in paragraph 45 of its February 23,
1998, Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration
of the Sixth Report and Order: MM Docket No. 87-268.
Within 18 months after the date of enactment of the
Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999, the
Commission shall identify by channel, location, and
applicable technical parameters those 175 channels.
''(7) No interference requirement.--The Commission may not
grant a Class A license or approve a modification of a Class A
license unless the applicant or licensee shows that the Class A
station for which the license or modification is sought will
not cause:
''(A) interference within the Grade B contour of
any television station (as of the date of enactment of
the Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999, or
as proposed in a minor change application filed on or
before such date) or the digital television service
areas provided in the digital television Table of
Allotments, or subsequently granted by the Commission
prior to the filing of a Class A application;
''(B) interference within the protected contour of
any low power television station or low power
television translator station licensed, authorized by
construction permit, or with a pending application
submitted prior to the date on which the application
for a Class A license, or for the modification of such
a license, was filed; or
''(C) interference within the protected contour of
80 miles from the geographic center of the areas listed
in section 22.625(b)(1) or 90.303 of the Commission's
regulations (47 C.F.R. 22.625(b)(1) and 90.303) for
frequencies in:
''(i) the 470-512 megahertz bank identified
in section 22.621 or 90.303 of such
regulations; or
''(ii) the 482-488 megahertz band in New
York.''.
(b) Section 614 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 533)
is amended:
''(1) by inserting the following in subsection (h)(2)(F)
after the first sentence: 'A television broadcast station shall
not lose its status as a qualified low power station because a
full power television station is subsequently licensed to a
community within the county or other equivalent political
subdivision served by the cable system or because a full power
television station subsequently begins to provide local news
and information to the community.'.''

SEC. 4. COMPETITIVE BIDDING EXCEPTIONS.

Section 309(j)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C.
309(j)(2)) is amended:
(1) by striking ''or'' at the end of subparagraph (B);
(2) by striking the period at the end of subparagraph (C)
and inserting ''; or''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
''(D) for low power television stations if at least
one of the mutually exclusive applicants qualifies as a
Class A licensee. Under such circumstances:
''(i) if only one of the mutually exclusive
applicants qualifies as a Class A licensee, the
Commission shall assign the license to that
applicant;
''(ii) if more than one of the mutually
exclusive applicants qualify as Class A
licensees, the Commission shall assign the
license to an applicant who serves an
underserved area or population. An area or
population is underserved if:
''(I) at least 25 percent of the
area within the station's primary
service contour does not receive
primary service from more than two
commercial television stations licensed
under part 73 of title 47 of the Code
of Federal Regulations; or
''(II) the station's programming is
broadcast in a foreign language that is
spoken by a significant proportion of
population within the station's primary
service contour;
''(iii) if more than one applicant
primarily broadcasts programming to underserved
areas or populations, or more than one
applicant is a Class A licensee and no
applicant primarily broadcasts programming to
underserved areas or populations, then the
Commission shall notify affected parties and
provide them with no fewer than 60 days to
develop an engineering solution so that the
applications are not mutually exclusive. If the
applicants do not reach an engineering solution
to resolve mutual exclusivity, the Commission
shall establish a bidding credit which
encourages, to the extent possible, localism,
diversity of programming, and programming for
underserved communities.''.
Solution: Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999 - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to prescribe regulations to establish a class A license for qualifying low-power television (LPT) stations. Requires notification of LPT licensees of the requirements for class A designation. Requires requesting licensees to submit to the FCC a certification of eligibility based on the requirements of this Act. Requires the FCC to: (1) grant such certification absent a material deficiency; and (2) act to preserve the contours of LPT stations pending final resolution of such applications. Allows an LPT station to submit an application for class A designation only within 30 days after final regulations are adopted.
Defines as a qualifying LPT station one which, during the 90 days preceding the date of enactment of this Act: (1) broadcast for at least 18 hours per day; (2) broadcast an average of at least three hours per week of programming that was produced within the market area served by such station or the market area served by a group of commonly controlled stations that carry common local or specialized programming not otherwise available to their communities; and (3) complied with other requirements applicable to LPT stations and, after the date of its license application, complies with the FCC's operating rules for full power television stations. Allows the FCC to treat non-qualifying stations as LPT stations under this Act if public interest, convenience, and necessity would be so served.
Provides that: (1) the FCC is not required to issue any additional licenses for advanced television services to the licensees of class A television stations; and (2) the FCC shall approve such license applications proposing facilities that will not cause interference to any other broadcast facility authorized on the date of the filing of the class A advanced television application.
States that nothing in this Act shall preempt Federal provisions concerning the allocation and assignment of new public safety services licenses and commercial licenses.
Prohibits the FCC from granting a class A license to an LPT station operating between 698 and 806 megahertz, but requires the FCC to provide to LPT stations assigned to and temporarily operating within such bandwidth the opportunity to meet the licensing requirements.
