Sec.  76.613   Interference from a multichannel video programming distributor
(MVPD).

   (a) Harmful interference is any emission, radiation or induction which
   endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or of other safety
   services or seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a
   radiocommunication service operating in accordance with this chapter.

   (b) An MVPD that causes harmful interference shall promptly take appropriate
   measures to eliminate the harmful interference.

   (c) If harmful interference to radio communications involving the safety of
   life and protection of property cannot be promptly eliminated by the
   application of suitable techniques, operation of the offending MVPD or
   appropriate elements thereof shall immediately be suspended upon
   notification by the District Director and/or Resident Agent of the
   Commission's local field office, and shall not be resumed until the
   interference has been eliminated to the satisfaction of the District
   Director and/or Resident Agent. When authorized by the District Director
   and/or Resident Agent, short test operations may be made during the period
   of suspended operation to check the efficacy of remedial measures.

   (d) The MVPD may be required by the District Director and/or Resident Agent
   to prepare and submit a report regarding the cause(s) of the interference,
   corrective measures planned or taken, and the efficacy of the remedial
   measures.
