Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission amends a
set-top box rule to eliminate a
requirement that multichannel video
programming distributors rely on
separated security in devices that they
sell, lease, or otherwise provide to
subscribers.
DATES: Effective April 15, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
106 of the STELA Reauthorization Act
of 2014, Public Law 113–200, Section
106(a), 128 Stat. 2059, 2063–4 (2014),
states that the ‘‘second sentence of
section 76.1204(a)(1) of title 47, Code of
Federal Regulations, terminates effective
on’’ December 4, 2015. That second
sentence is the portion of our rules that
we commonly refer to as the
‘‘integration ban,’’ and it required cable
operators to rely on identical security
elements for leased devices and
consumer-owned devices. Section 106
goes on to state that by June 1, 2016,
‘‘the Commission shall complete all
actions necessary to remove the
sentence’’ from our rules. With this
Order, we remove that sentence from
our rules.
This document does not contain
information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition,
therefore, it does not contain any
information collection burden for small
business concerns with fewer than 25
employees, pursuant to the Small
Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.

only the conditional access functions of
such devices.
(2) The foregoing requirement shall
not apply to a multichannel video
programming distributor that supports
the active use by subscribers of
Navigation Devices that:
(i) Operate throughout the continental
United States, and
(ii) Are available from retail outlets
and other vendors throughout the
United States that are not affiliated with
the owner or operator of the
multichannel video programming
system.
(b) Conditional access function
equipment made available pursuant to

contract, agreement, patent, intellectual
property right or otherwise preclude the
addition of features or functions to the
equipment made available pursuant to
this section that are not designed,
intended or function to defeat the
conditional access controls of such
devices or to provide unauthorized

(1) It is not reasonably feasible to
prevent such devices from being used
for the unauthorized reception of
service; or
(2) It is not reasonably feasible to
separate conditional access from other
functions without jeopardizing security.
(e) Paragraphs (a)(1), (b), and (c) of
this section shall not apply to the
provision of any Navigation Device that:
(1) Employs conditional access
mechanisms only to access analog video
programming;
(2) Is capable only of providing access
to analog video programming offered
over a multichannel video programming
distribution system; and
(3) Does not provide access to any
digital transmission of multichannel
video programming or any other digital
service through any receiving, decoding,
conditional access, or other function,
including any conversion of digital
programming or service to an analog
format.

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; extension of
compliance date.
AGENCY:
FMCSA extends the
compliance date by which motor
carriers of passengers operating CMVs
under a lease or interchange agreement
are subject to the FMCSA final rule
published May 27, 2015, for one year, to
January 1, 2018. The Agency received
numerous petitions for reconsideration
of the final rule and based upon a
review of the petitions, determined that
the compliance date should be extended
to provide sufficient time to address the
issues raised by the petitioners. The
Agency is adding a temporary section to
its regulations to inform the public of
this extension. There will no longer be
a need for the section on the compliance
date after January 1, 2018, thus the
temporary section will be in effect only
from March 16, 2016 through January 1,
2018.
DATES: Effective date: March 16, 2016
until January 1, 2018. Compliance date:
As of March 16, 2016, the compliance
date for the requirements in subpart F
to 49 CFR part 390 (§§ 390.301, 390.303,
and 390.305) is extended until January
1, 2018.
