Abstract: On September 25, 1998, the Commission released an Order on Reconsideration, FCC 98-214. Among other things, the Order amends our rules by clarifying how Section 207 declaratory rulings and waivers in this matter are to be served on all interested parties. Effective August 6, 1996, the Commission fully implemented Section 207 of the 1996 Act by adopting final rules for a preemption of state, local, and non-governmental regulations that impair viewers' ability to receive over-the-air signals. State, local, and non-governmental entities were permitted to file petitions for waivers.
