Abstract
This document announces the effective date of certain sections of the Commission's broadcast signal carriage rule, 47 CFR 76.66, which requires satellite carriers, by January 1, 2002, to carry all local television stations seeking carriage in any market in which the carriers provide local-into-local service. Certain sections of the rule contained information collection requirements that required the approval of the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") before they could become effective. Those sections of the broadcast signal carriage rule have been approved by OMB and become effective on June 29, 2001.
