ERRATUM
Adopted:  February 5, 2010 Released:  February 16, 2010
By the Commission:  Commissioner McDowell dissenting.
1. On January 20, 2010, the Commission released a First Report and Order in the above-
captioned proceeding in which we established rules for (i) complaints alleging unfair acts involving 
terrestrially delivered, cable-affiliated programming; and (ii) requests for a temporary standstill of the 
price, terms, and other conditions of an existing programming contract by a program access complainant 
seeking renewal of such a contract.1 In this Erratum, we make three corrections.  First, we amend 
Sections 76.1000(j) and 76.1003(c)(3) to reflect that a defendant to a program access complaint involving 
terrestrial cable programming will be one of the entities listed in Section 628(b) and not a terrestrial cable 
programming vendor.2 Second, we amend Section 76.1003(g)(3) of the rules, which pertains to the time 
limits for filing program access complaints, to reflect that complaints may be filed alleging unfair acts 
involving terrestrial cable programming.3 Third, we correct the rule by adding the temporary standstill 
provision as Section 76.1003(l), and not 76.1003(i), of the rules. The specific corrections are discussed in 
the following paragraphs.
2. In paragraph 81 of the First Report and Order, we correct the reference to 76.1003(i) to read 
76.1003(l), such that this paragraph reads as follows:
“81.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the rules adopted herein WILL BECOME 
EFFECTIVE 30 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register, except for Sections 
76.1001(b)(2), 76.1003(c)(3), and 76.1003(l) which contain new or modified information 
collection requirements that require approval by the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE after the 
Commission publishes a notice in the Federal Register announcing such approval and the 
relevant effective date.”
  
1 See Review of the Commission’s Program Access Rules and Examination of Programming Tying Arrangements, 
MB Docket No. 07-198, First Report and Order, FCC 10-17 (rel. Jan. 20, 2010) (“First Report and Order”).
2 See id. at ¶ 57.
3 The First Report and Order explained that, with the exception of the certain additional burdens and the additional 
time for defendants to file an Answer, complaints alleging unfair acts involving terrestrially delivered, cable-
affiliated programming will be subject to the same procedures set forth in Sections 76.7 and 76.1003 of the rules that 
apply to complaints involving satellite-delivered, cable-affiliated programming.  See id. at ¶ 49.  While we amended 
Section 76.1003(g)(1)-(2) to reflect that complaints may be filed with respect to terrestrial cable programming, we 
neglected to make a similar amendment to Section 76.1003(g)(3).  See id., Appendix B at ¶ 5.

3. In the final rule text for amended Section 76.1000, found in Appendix B of the First Report 
and Order:
§ We correct the first sentence of paragraph 2 to read:  “Section 76.1000 is amended by revising the 
first sentence of paragraph (b), revising paragraph (c)(1), revising the first sentence of paragraph (j), 
and adding paragraphs (l) and (m) to read as follows:”  
§ We add amended paragraph (j) to state as follows:
“(j) Similarly situated. The term “similarly situated” means, for the purposes of evaluating 
alternative programming contracts offered by a defendant programming vendor or by a terrestrial 
cable programming vendor alleged to have engaged in conduct described in § 76.1001(b)(1)(ii) of 
this part, that an alternative multichannel video programming distributor has been identified by 
the defendant as being more properly compared to the complainant in order to determine whether 
a violation of § 76.1001(a) or § 76.1002(b) of this part has occurred. * * *
* * * * *”
4. In the final rule text for amended Section 76.1003, found in Appendix B of the First Report 
and Order:
§ We correct the first sentence of paragraph 5 to read:  “Section 76.1003 is amended by revising 
paragraph (c)(3), by revising the first sentence of paragraph (e)(1), by revising paragraph (g)(1)-(3), 
and by adding paragraph (l) to read as follows:”  
§ We amend paragraph (c)(3) to state as follows:
“(3) Evidence that the complainant competes with the defendant cable operator, or with a 
multichannel video programming distributor that is a customer of the defendant satellite cable 
programming or satellite broadcast programming vendor or a terrestrial cable programming 
vendor alleged to have engaged in conduct described in § 76.1001(b)(1) of this part;”
§ We add amended paragraph (g)(3) to state as follows:
“(3) The complainant has notified a cable operator, or a satellite cable programming vendor or a 
satellite broadcast programming vendor that it intends to file a complaint with the Commission 
based on a request to purchase or negotiate to purchase satellite cable programming, satellite 
broadcast programming, or terrestrial cable programming, or has made a request to amend an 
existing contract pertaining to such programming pursuant to § 76.1002(f) of this part that has 
been denied or unacknowledged, allegedly in violation of one or more of the rules contained in 
this subpart.”
§ We correct the first sentence of paragraph “(i) Petitions for temporary standstill.” to read “(l) 
Petitions for temporary standstill.”
