    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. Section 
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.

Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Secretary.
