noncommercial TV broadcast stations
are not entitled to retransmission
consent.
In 2019, the Commission adopted new
rules governing the delivery and form of
carriage election notices. Electronic

317, Report and Order and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC
19–69, 34 FCC Rcd 5922(2019) (2019
Report and Order). That decision
modernized the carriage election notice
rules by moving the process online for
most broadcasters and multichannel
video programming distributors
(MVPDs), but the Commission sought
comment on how to apply these
updated rules to certain small broadcast
stations and MVPDs.
In 2020, the Commission adopted a
Report and Order, which is the subject
of this notice, that resolved the
remaining issues regarding carriage
election notice rules for small broadcast
stations and MVPDs. Electronic Delivery

317, Report and Order, FCC 20–14, 85
FR 22646 (rel. Feb. 25, 2020) (2020
Report and Order). Pursuant to that
decision, the obligations of certain small
broadcasters and MVPDs were slightly
modified.
Specifically, 47 CFR 76.64(h)(5) was
amended to require low power
television stations and non-commercial
educational translator stations that are
qualified under 47 CFR 76.55 and
retransmitted by an MVPD to, beginning
no later than July 31, 2020, respond as
soon as is reasonably possible to
messages or calls from MVPDs that are
received via the email address or phone
number the station provides in the
Commission’s Licensing and
Management System (LMS) database.
In addition, the 2020 Report and
Order required that a qualified Low
Power Television (LPTV) station that
changes its carriage election send an
election change notice to each affected
MVPD’s carriage election-specific email
address by the carriage election
deadline. Such change notices must
include, with respect to each station
covered by the notice: The station’s call
sign, the station’s community of license,
the DMA where the station is located,
the specific change being made in
election status, and an email address
and phone number for carriage-related
questions. LPTV notices to cable
operators need to identify specific cable
systems for which a carriage election
applies only if the broadcaster changes

its election for some systems of the
cable operator but not all. In addition,
the broadcaster must carbon copy
ElectionNotices@FCC.gov, the
Commission’s election notice
verification email inbox, when sending
its carriage elections to MVPDs.
The 2020 Report and Order also
required all qualified LPTV stations,
whether being carried pursuant to must
carry or retransmission consent, to send
an email notice to all MVPDs that are or
will be carrying the station no later than
the next carriage election deadline of
October 1, 2020. Qualified LPTVs must
do so even if they are not changing their
carriage status from the current election
cycle. These notifications must be sent
to an MVPD’s carriage election-specific
email address, must be copied to
ElectionNotices@FCC.gov, and must
include the same information required
for a change notification except that the
notification may simply confirm the
existing carriage status rather than a
change in status.
Finally, pursuant to the 2020 Report
and Order, all qualified NCE translator
stations must provide email notice to all
MVPDs that are or will be carrying the
translator no later than the next carriage
election deadline of October 1, 2020.
Similar to qualified LPTVs, these
notifications must be sent to an MVPD’s
carriage election-specific email address,
must be copied to ElectionNotices@
FCC.gov, and must include the station’s
call sign, the station’s community of
license, and the DMA where the station
is located and within which it has
elected to be carried.

in the Atlantic includes king mackerel,
Spanish mackerel, and cobia on the east
coast of Florida, and is managed under
the Fishery Management Plan for
Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of
the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region
(FMP). The FMP was prepared by the
Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic
Fishery Management Councils and is
implemented by NMFS under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by
regulations at 50 CFR part 622. All
weights described for Spanish mackerel
in the Atlantic EEZ apply as either
round or gutted weight.
The commercial annual catch limit
(equal to the commercial quota) for the
Atlantic migratory group of Spanish
mackerel (Atlantic Spanish mackerel) is
3.33 million lb (1.51 million kg).
Atlantic Spanish mackerel are divided
into northern and southern zones for
management purposes. The northern
zone commercial quota for Atlantic
Spanish mackerel is 662,670 lb (300,582
kg) for the current fishing year, which
is March 1, 2020, through February 28,
2021 (50 CFR 622.384(c)(2)(i)).
The northern zone for Atlantic
Spanish mackerel extends in Federal
waters from New York through North
Carolina. The northern boundary of the
northern zone extends from an
intersection point off New York,
Connecticut, and Rhode Island at
41°18′16.249″ N lat.–71°54′28.477″ W

Needs and Uses: Under Section 614 of the Communications Act and the
implementing rules adopted by the Commission, commercial TV broadcast
stations are entitled to assert mandatory carriage rights on cable
systems located within the station's television market. Under Section
325(b) of the Communications Act, commercial TV broadcast stations are
entitled to negotiate with local cable systems for carriage of their

entitled to assert mandatory carriage rights on cable systems located
within
[[Page 44218]]
the station's market; however, noncommercial TV broadcast stations are
not entitled to retransmission consent.
In 2019, the Commission adopted new rules governing the delivery
and form of carriage election notices. Electronic Delivery of MVPD
Communications, Modernization of Media Regulation Initiative, MB Docket
Nos. 17-105, 17-317, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, FCC 19-69, 34 FCC Rcd 5922(2019) (2019 Report and Order).
That decision modernized the carriage election notice rules by moving
the process online for most broadcasters and multichannel video
programming distributors (MVPDs), but the Commission sought comment on
how to apply these updated rules to certain small broadcast stations
and MVPDs.
In 2020, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, which is the
subject of this notice, that resolved the remaining issues regarding
carriage election notice rules for small broadcast stations and MVPDs.
Electronic Delivery of MVPD Communications, Modernization of Media
Regulation Initiative, MB Docket Nos. 17-105, 17-317, Report and Order,
FCC 20-14, 85 FR 22646 (rel. Feb. 25, 2020) (2020 Report and Order).
Pursuant to that decision, the obligations of certain small
broadcasters and MVPDs were slightly modified.
Specifically, 47 CFR 76.64(h)(5) was amended to require low power
television stations and non-commercial educational translator stations
that are qualified under 47 CFR 76.55 and retransmitted by an MVPD to,
beginning no later than July 31, 2020, respond as soon as is reasonably
possible to messages or calls from MVPDs that are received via the
email address or phone number the station provides in the Commission's
Licensing and Management System (LMS) database.
In addition, the 2020 Report and Order required that a qualified
Low Power Television (LPTV) station that changes its carriage election
send an election change notice to each affected MVPD's carriage
election-specific email address by the carriage election deadline. Such
change notices must include, with respect to each station covered by
the notice: The station's call sign, the station's community of
license, the DMA where the station is located, the specific change
being made in election status, and an email address and phone number
for carriage-related questions. LPTV notices to cable operators need to
identify specific cable systems for which a carriage election applies
only if the broadcaster changes its election for some systems of the
cable operator but not all. In addition, the broadcaster must carbon
copy [email protected], the Commission's election notice
verification email inbox, when sending its carriage elections to MVPDs.
The 2020 Report and Order also required all qualified LPTV
stations, whether being carried pursuant to must carry or
retransmission consent, to send an email notice to all MVPDs that are
or will be carrying the station no later than the next carriage
election deadline of October 1, 2020. Qualified LPTVs must do so even
if they are not changing their carriage status from the current
election cycle. These notifications must be sent to an MVPD's carriage
election-specific email address, must be copied to
[email protected], and must include the same information required
for a change notification except that the notification may simply
confirm the existing carriage status rather than a change in status.
Finally, pursuant to the 2020 Report and Order, all qualified NCE
translator stations must provide email notice to all MVPDs that are or
will be carrying the translator no later than the next carriage
election deadline of October 1, 2020. Similar to qualified LPTVs, these
notifications must be sent to an MVPD's carriage election-specific
email address, must be copied to [email protected], and must
include the station's call sign, the station's community of license,
and the DMA where the station is located and within which it has
elected to be carried.
