            Measures:           Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C.    309, 
                                325  
 
            Description:        The United States will ensure that in 
                                considering applications for a grant of 
                                authority to transmit programming to foreign 
                                stations for retransmission into the United 
                                States under section 325 of the 
                                Communications Act of 1934 ("the Act"), the 
                                Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will 
                                not consider the nationality of the affected 
                                stations for the purpose of favoring a U.S. 
                                station that is competing with a Mexican 
                                station for affiliation with a U.S. 
                                programmer.  Rather, the FCC will apply the 
                                criteria for the grant of such a permit in 
                                the same manner as they would be applied to a 
                                domestic broadcast station application under 
                                section 309 of the Act.  
 
                                In addition, the term of the section 325 
                                permit shall be extended from one year to 
                                five years in all situations where it can be 
                                assured that the retransmitting station is 
                                and will be in full compliance with 
                                applicable treaties.  In assessing the public 
                                interest, convenience and necessity required 
                                by the Act for the grant of authorization 
                                under section 325, the primary criterion will 
                                be avoiding the creation or maintenance of 
                                electrical interference to U.S. broadcast 
                                stations that violates applicable treaty 
                                provisions.  In evaluating this and any other

         ________________________ 
 
 
                                criterion permitted under section 309, the 
                                United States will ensure that the section 
                                325 process is not conducted in a manner that 
                                would constitute an unnecessary restriction 
                                on trade.
