the CALM Act requires the Commission
to incorporate by reference the
Advanced Television Systems
Committee (‘‘ATSC’’) A/85
Recommended Practice (‘‘ATSC A/85
RP’’) and make it mandatory ‘‘insofar as
such recommended practice concerns
the transmission of commercial
advertisements by a television broadcast
station, cable operator, or other
multichannel video programming
distributor.’’ As mandated by the
statute, the rules will apply to TV
broadcasters, cable operators and other
multichannel video programming
distributors (‘‘MVPDs’’).The
Commission will use this information to
determine compliance with the CALM
Act.
