Summary of the Community Access Preservation (CAP)Act
Public; educational and government("PEG") channels permit schools. governments, individuals and groups
to provide and receive information about local events,emergencies, and issues. The channels encourage
creation of local progranu-ning by civic groups and non-profits,cover government and school meetings,and
promote localism and civic engagement.. The CAP Act responds to four immediate threats to PEG and
these critical local Communications.
1. U nnecessary Limits on the Use of PECK funds.
v
Issue:Under federal law,a cable operator and a local community may negotiate for support for PEG use,
in addition to the hanchise fee payments for use of public rights of way. The FCC recently ruled,subject to
some important exceptions, that this PEG support may only be used for facilities and equipment. and not for _
PEG operating expenses.
Effecr: Some comrnuni ties are closing PEG facilities because there are no funds to operate them.
Solution:The bill amends the Cable Act to ensure that PEG fees can be used for any PEG purpose.
?. Discriminatory Treatment of PECK channels.
Issue. The Cable Act provides that PEG channels should be tree from cable operator interference and
generally available to all cable subscribers. Accordingly, operators historically have provided local
commercial television signals and PEG in the same manner, to all Subscribers, and without additional
charges. Some operators are now providing PEG channels that are less accessible,to%v,er quality, missing
basic functionality and more costly. Three complaints about mistreatment of PEG are before the FCC.but
PEG is suffering in the meantime.
Effect. PEG is less accessible to all subscribers. and the most vulnerable viewers may lose access to
basic local information altogether.
Sohifion:The bill reaffirms that operators must deliver PEG channels to subscribers without additional
charges,and via channels whose quality. accessibility, functionality, and placement is equivalent to local
commercial television stations.
3. Preservation of PEG Support and Localism.
Issue: Federal law envisioned that PEG requirements would be established on a community-by-
community basis. Several States, while intending to preserve PEG, Adopted stateti<<ide video franchising
standards without regard to local needs and interests.
L-ffect: Statewide standards are resulting in widespread elirrtinatio,r ofPEG.
Solution: Immediate action is needed to preserve PEG to permit Congress to review the impact of these
changes on local programming. The FCC is directed to investigate and to report to Congress on the impact
of State video service franchising laws since 2005 on PEG. To ensure PEG is preserved. each cable operator
must provide the channels and critical facilities it had been providing historically. Operators must make
ongoing PEG support payments equal to the greater of the cash payment required under State law. or the
�-.-alue of the PEG support it historically provided.
4. Definition of Cable Sytitem.
Issue: Entities that provide video sen-rices via wired facilities in the rights of way are intended to be
subject to Cable Act rules.regardless of the transmission protocol used to delivc;r service,but some claim
that the laxt'is unclear. creating doubt as to where the rules apply.
Solution: The Act is amended to ensure it is technologically neutral. Providers using%vired facilities in
the rights of«-ay are treated similarly and are subject to similar PEG requirements.

The Community Access Presei-vation (CAP) Act
Section-bv-Section
See. .1, Short Title
Section 1 sets forth the short title of the bill as the 'Community Access Preservation Act
or CAP Act.
Sec. 2, Amendments
Section 7 amends Section 611 of the Con7nlunlcations Act of 1 9 34 (47 U.S.C. 53 I)to
create new subsections: -
Equiyaleiice
Public. educational, and go`--ernniental (PEG)access channels are those cable television
channels that are set aside for use by the general public,by local schools,colleges. and
universities, and by elements of local government. PEG access channels are not mandated
by federal law. But the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 amended the
Communications Act to explicitly allow cable franchising authorities to require cable
operators to set aside channel capacity for PEG use and to provide adequate facilities or
financial support for those channels.
This section clarifies long-standing federal standards for cable operator carriage of
capacity and channels for PEG use. The PEG capacity would have to be: -
■ At least equivalent in quality, accessibility, functionality, and placement to
channel capacity used for local cominercial television stations. In case there are
no local commercial stations, the equivalence standard would be the primary
signal of the network-affiliate carried on the cable system.
■ Provided to and viewable by every subscriber of a cable system without additional
service or equipment charges.
' Carried without material degradation or loss of content front the point of origin to
cable systc m subscribers.
Consistent with existing federal laws and regulations, which perinit local franchising
authorities to expressly waive certain federal requirements for can-iage of PEG channels,
this section provides that a franchising authority could expressly waive these
requirements in a franchise agreement after conducting a.public proceeding to determine
if such a waiver is appropriate and supported by the community.
The equivalence standard could be enforced by either the franchising authority or the
Federal Communications Conunission (FCC).
Preseril ation oLPtiblic, Eclucatlotia1, acid Goyernmenuil Use
The Conlnlunications Act of 1934 stipulates that cable franchise requirements, including
PEG requirements, would generally be established based on an individualized assessment
of local needs, so that cable systems would be responsive to the needs of local
conullunities. .However, several states have adopted statewide video franchising
standards without regard to existing or future individualized local needs and interests.
This section directs the FCC 10 submit a report to Congress oil the impact of state video
service franchising laws since 2005 on PEG use of cable systems.
The section also N(JUll'eS that In states that have enacted state-level fralichising laws since
Nlay 31. 2005, PEG channels would continue to receive financial and infrastrLlcttire
support and channel capacity based on the support historically provided by the cable
provider. Specifically:
• Financial support WOUld be calculated as the greater•of the support provided in the
calendar year prior-to the state video service franchising law, or the average
annual sul)port over the term of the franchise agreement.
• infrastructure support would be the facilities required to continue to carry the
PEG channels from their point of origin to subscribers without material
degradation or loss of content.
• Each operator-would provide at least the same amount of PEG channel capacity
that it Nvas required to provide as of May 31. 2005. If there Nvere no PEG charulel
capacity requirements in a particular-locality as of that date, the State law
requirements xvould apply.
[Possible addition: Support means all support, including in-kind support to the extent an
operator is no longer providing in-kind support on the same basis It ,tixas being provided
before the state-level franchising law went into effect.] The FCC would be responsible
for settling clisputes over amounts otived.
Franchise Fee DeLinitiorl
Section 622(g)(2)(C) of the CUrn1 III Ullications Act of 1934 makes clear that cash paid to a
franchising anti101•ity for PEG``capital costs"are not counted against the franchise fee.
Oil December 201, 20061, the FCC issued a rule that found that cash paid by an operator
and paid to a franchising authority to support the use of PEG facilities. such as staff
salaries is counted against the franchise fee. .
To prevent this limited interpretation for the use of financial support. this section
overturns the FCC iliterpretatiorl, and makes clear that financial support provided for
PEG is not to be counted, or offset, against the franchise fee, whether-used for PEG
capital or operating costs.
Cable Service Definition
This section amends Section 602(6) of the Communications Act to clarify that the
definition of cable service is technology and transmission-protocol neutral. As a result. it
makes it clear that the requirements of the Cable Act apply to systems that use traditional
cable transmission technologies, as Nvell as those that rise digital transmission protocols,
including. but Ilot limited to, IP protocols, to deliver video progranimirlg or other
programming services to subscribers.
