Needs and Uses: On November 29, 1999, the Community Broadcasters
Protection Act of 1999 (CBPA), Pub. L. No. 106-113, 113 Stat. Appendix
I at pp. 1501A-594-1501A-598 (1999), codified at 47 U.S.C. 336(f), was
enacted. That legislation provided that a low power television (LPTV)
licensee should be permitted to convert the secondary status of its
station to the new Class A status, provided it can satisfy certain
statutorily-established criteria. The CBPA directs that Class A
licensees be subject to the same license terms and renewal standards as
full-power television licenses and that Class A licensees be accorded
primary status as television broadcasters as long as they continue to
meet the requirements set forth in the statute for a qualifying low
power station. The CBPA sets out certain certification and application
procedures for LPTV licensees seeking Class A designation, prescribes
the criteria LPTV licensees must meet to be eligible for Class A
licenses, and outlines the interference protection Class A applicants
must provide to analog, digital, LPTV and TV translator stations.
The CBPA directs that Class A stations must comply with the
operating requirements for full-service television broadcast stations.
Therefore, beginning on the date of its application for a Class A
license and thereafter, a station must be ``in compliance'' with the
Commission's operating rules for full-service television stations,
contained in 47 CFR part 73.
