| 2017-15526 | Video Description: Implementation of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 | Rule | In this document, the Commission adopts rules pursuant to Section 202 of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) to expand the availability of video described programming on top-rated broadcast and nonbroadcast networks. Specifically, the document adopts the proposal to increase the amount of described programming on each "included network" carried by a covered broadcast station or multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD), from 50 hours per calendar quarter to 87.5 hours per quarter. Covered broadcast stations and MVPDs must start providing the additional hours of video described programming on "included networks" in the calendar quarter beginning on July 1, 2018. The document also provides more flexibility than exists under the Commission's current rules regarding when the additional hours of described programming may be aired. This update to the Commission's video description rules will help ensure that Americans who are blind or visually impaired can be connected, informed, and entertained by television. | 2017-08-10 | 2017 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/08/10/2017-15526/video-description-implementation-of-the-twenty-first-century-communications-and-video-accessibility | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-08-10/pdf/2017-15526.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Commission adopts rules pursuant to Section 202 of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) to expand the availability of video described programming on top-rated broadcast and... |
