Implementation of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010

Congress recently passed the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (''STELA'') which was signed by the President on May 27, 2010. This legislation updated and reauthorized the distant signal license for satellite carriers and amended the local-into-local satellite license and the cable statutory license in several respects. The purpose of this Interim Rule is to account for the new statutory provisions.
