Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-76

  Ottawa, 2 August 2005
 

Call for comments - Proposed amendments to the Specialty Services Regulations, 1990, the Radio Regulations, 1986 and the Pay Television Regulations, 1990

1.

The Television Broadcasting Regulations, 1987 and the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations provide the possibility for a condition of licence that allows the Commission to grant certain licensees with an exception to the program logs and records requirements. The Commission considers that it would be appropriate to amend the Specialty Services Regulations, 1990, the Radio Regulations, 1986 and the Pay Television Regulations, 1990 in order that they would also allow the Commission to grant such a condition of licence. This amendment is intended to decrease the administrative burden on the Commission and licensees in certain circumstances, such as in the case of networks, where duplication of logs and records could occur.

2.

The proposed Regulations Amending the Specialty Services Regulations, 1990, the proposed Regulations Amending the Radio Regulations, 1986 and the proposed Regulations Amending the Pay Television Regulations, 1990 are appended to this public notice.
