    (a) In General.--Between the date of enactment of this Act and the 
adoption of rules by the Federal Communications Commission pursuant to 
the amendments to the Communications Act of 1934 made by sections 3 and 
4 of this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall follow its 
rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to sections 338, 339, and 
340 of the Communications Act of 1934 as in effect on the day before 
the date of enactment of this Act.
    (b) Translator Stations and Low Power Television Stations.--
Notwithstanding subsection (a), for purposes of determining whether a 
subscriber within the local market served by a translator station or a 
low power television station affiliated with a television network is 
eligible to receive distant signals under section 339 of such Act, the 
Federal Communications Commission shall follow its rules and 
regulations for determining such subscriber's eligibility as in effect 
on the day before the date of enactment of this Act until the date on 
which the translator station or low power television station is 
licensed to broadcast a digital signal.
    (c) Definitions.--As used in this Act:
            (1) Local market; low power television station; satellite 
        carrier; subscriber; television broadcast station.--The terms 
        ``local market'', ``low power television station'', ``satellite 
        carrier'', ``subscriber'', and ``television broadcast station'' 
        have the meanings given such terms in section 338(k) of the 
        Communications Act of 1934.
            (2) Network station; television network.--The terms 
        ``network station'' and ``television network'' have the 
        meanings given such terms in section 339(d) of such Act.
