Abstract
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopts a proposal filed jointly by the American Cable Association and the National Association of Broadcasters that modifies and extends the exemption from the requirement to carry high definition ("HD") broadcast signals under "material degradation" provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("the Act") that the Commission granted to certain small cable systems in 2012 ("HD carriage exemption").
