        statutory license provided under subsection (a)(2) to the 
        extent necessary to allow such carrier to make secondary 
        transmissions of primary transmissions made by a network 
        station to unserved households located in short markets in 
        which such carrier was not providing local service pursuant to

            for such waiver has failed to act reasonably or has failed 
            to make a good faith effort to provide local-into-local 
            service to all DMAs, such failure--

this title, 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 the 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 the 
Communications Act of 1934, the rules and regulations of the Federal 
Communications Commission for determining such subscriber's eligibility 
as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of this Act 
shall apply 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 subtitle:
        (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.

    implement a phase-out of the statutory licensing requirements set 
    forth in sections 111, 119, and 122 of title 17, United States 
    Code, by making such sections inapplicable to the secondary 
    transmission of a performance or display of a work embodied in a 
    primary transmission of a broadcast station that is authorized to 
    license the same secondary transmission directly with respect to 
    all of the performances and displays embodied in such primary 
    transmission;

would be required or beneficial to consumers, and such other matters as 
the Comptroller General deems appropriate, if Congress implemented a 
phase-out of the current statutory licensing requirements set forth 
under sections 111, 119, and 122 of title 17, United States Code. Among 
other things, the study shall consider the impact such a phase-out and

enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall report to the 
appropriate Congressional committees the results of the study, 
including any recommendations for legislative or administrative

    signals of local broadcast stations assigned to a community of 
    license that is located in a different State;
        (2) the extent to which consumers in each local market have 
    access to in-state broadcast programming over the air or from a 
    multichannel video programming distributor; and
        (3) whether there are alternatives to the use of designated 
    market areas, as defined in section 122 of title 17, United States 
    Code, to define local markets that would provide more consumers 
    with in-state broadcast programming.

            (A) each local market in which it--
                (i) retransmits signals of 1 or more television 
            broadcast stations with a community of license in that 
            market;

    date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications 
    Commission shall initiate a study of--
            (A) incentives that would induce a satellite carrier to 
        provide the signals of 1 or more television broadcast stations 
        licensed to provide signals in local markets in which the 
        satellite carrier does not provide such signals; and
            (B) the economic and satellite capacity conditions 
        affecting delivery of local signals by satellite carriers to 
        these markets.
        (2) Report.--Within 1 year after the date of the initiation of 
    the study under paragraph (1), the Federal Communications

retransmitting a performance or display of a work pursuant to an 
authorization granted by the copyright owner or, if within the scope of 
its authorization, its licensee.
    (b) Limitation.--Nothing in subsection (a) shall be construed to
