(4) The operator of each cable
television system shall conduct triennial
proof-of-performance tests of its system
to determine the extent to which the
system complies with the technical
standards set forth in § 76.605(a)(11).
Note 1 to 47 CFR 76.601 states prior
to additional testing pursuant to Section
76.601(c), the local franchising authority
shall notify the cable operator, who will
then be allowed thirty days to come into
compliance with any perceived signal
quality problems which need to be
corrected.
47 CFR 76.1704 requires that proof of
performance test required by 47 CFR
76.601 shall be maintained on file at the
operator’s local business office for at
least five years. The test data shall be
made available for inspection by the
Commission or the local franchiser,
upon request. If a signal leakage log is
being used to meet proof of performance
test recordkeeping requirement in
accordance with Section 76.601, such a
log must be retained for the period
specified in 47 CFR 76.601(d).
47 CFR 76.1705 requires that the
operator of each cable television system
shall maintain at its local office a
current listing of the cable television
channels which that system delivers to
its subscribers.
47 CFR 76.1717 states that an operator
shall be prepared to show, on request by
an authorized representative of the
Commission or the local franchising
authority, that the system does, in fact,
comply with the technical standards
rules in part 76, subpart K.

Bureau of the Federal Communications
Commission (Commission) announces a

freeze on the filing of digital companion
channels by low power television and
TV translator stations.
DATES: This filing limitation became
effective on January 19, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Shaun Maher, Video Division, Media
Bureau, Federal Communications
Commission, barbara.kreisman@fcc.gov,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
summary of the Commission’s
document, DA 17–69, released January
19, 2017. The complete text of this
document is available for download at
https://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/
Daily_Business/2017/db0119/DA-1769A1.pdf.
Effective immediately, the Media
Bureau announces a freeze on the filing
of applications for digital companion
channels for low power television
(LPTV) and TV translator stations. The
incentive auction is being conducted
pursuant to Title VI of the Middle Class
Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012.
It includes a ‘‘reverse auction’’ and
reorganization or ‘‘repacking’’ of the
broadcast television bands in order to
free up a portion of the ultra-high
frequency band for new flexible uses.
The facilities of LPTV and TV translator
stations are not protected during
repacking. ‘‘Operating’’ LPTV and TV
translator stations displaced by
repacking will be permitted to file
displacement applications in a special
window to be opened following the
completion of the auction. ‘‘Operating’’
stations are defined as those that have
licensed their authorized construction
permit facilities or have an application
for a license to cover on file with the
Commission on the release date of the
incentive auction Closing and Channel
Reassignment Public Notice.
To facilitate the special window for
displaced LPTV and TV translator
stations and to protect the opportunity
for LPTV and TV translator stations
displaced by the repacking of the
television bands to obtain a new
channel in the special window from the
limited number of channels likely to be
available for application after repacking,
the Media Bureau deems it appropriate
to freeze the acceptance of digital
companion channel applications at this
time. Because the Commission has
postponed the digital transition
deadline for LPTV and TV translator
stations until 12 months after the
completion of the 39-month postincentive auction transition period (51
months total), temporary postponement
of the filing of applications for digital
companion channels should not impact
stations’ efforts to transition to digital.

The Media Bureau will continue to
process pending digital companion
channel applications. Following
completion of the special window for
displaced LPTV and TV translator
stations, we will announce when we
will again begin accepting digital
companion channel applications.
The decision to impose this freeze is
procedural in nature, and therefore is
not subject to the notice and comment
and effective date requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(A), (d). Moreover, we find that
there is good cause for not delaying the
effect of these procedures until 30 days
after publication in the Federal
Register. Such a delay would be
impractical, unnecessary, and contrary
to the public interest because it would
undercut the purposes of the freeze.
This action is taken by the Chief,
Media Bureau pursuant to authority
delegated by 47 CFR 0.283 of the
Commission’s rules.
