Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with

Needs and Uses: Section 207 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (‘‘1996
Act’’) directs the Commission to
promulgate rules prohibiting restrictions
on viewers’ ability to receive over-theair signals by television broadcast,
multichannel multipoint distribution, or
direct broadcast satellite services.
In a Report and Order, Memorandum
Opinion and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, CS Docket No.
96–83, FCC 96–328, released August 6,
1996, the Commission fully
implemented Section 207 of the 1996
Act by adopting final rules for a
preemption of state, local and nongovernmental regulations that impair
viewers ability to receive over-the-air
signals. In doing so, the FCC
acknowledged the necessity of allowing
state, local and non-governmental
entities to continue to enforce certain
regulations and restrictions, such as
those serving safety purposes, and
therefore exempted them from its
prohibition. Also, state, local and nongovernmental entities were permitted to
file petitions for waivers.
On September 25, 1998, the
Commission released an Order on
Reconsideration, FCC 98–214, in this
proceeding that further modified and
clarified Section 207 rules. Among other
things, the Order on Reconsideration
clarified how declaratory rulings and
waivers in this matter are to be served
on all interested parties. If a local
government seeks a declaratory ruling or
a waiver, it must take steps to afford
reasonable, constructive notice to

26APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 81 / Friday, April 26, 2019 / Notices
residents in its jurisdiction (e.g., by
placing notices in a local newspaper of
general circulation). Certificates of
service and proof of constructive notice
also must be provided to the
Commission with the petition.
In this regard, the petitioner should
provide the Commission with a copy of
the notice and an explanation of where
the notice was placed and how many
people the notice might reasonably have
reached. Effective January 22, 1999, FCC
98–273, the Commission amended the
rules so that it applies to rental property
where the renter has an exclusive use
area, such as a balcony or patio.
In FCC 00–366, the Commission then
further amended the rule so that it
applies to customer-end antennas that
receive and transmit fixed wireless
signals. This amendment became
effective on May 25, 2001.
