SIhdCEREL'Y, OFFICER MICHAEL WINDHAM —775 February 26, 1996 Number 2 THE FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996 What It Means for Cities When President Clinton signed S. 652 into law, it wasn't just the industry moguls smiling. Cities also won a key, last-minute victory in the final version of the landmark telecommunications overhaul: the inclusion of language to guarantee that cities can manage their public rights -of -way and receive fair and reasonable compensation for the use of public rights -of --way by all telecommunications providers. Local governments invest $28 billion a year in acquiring and maintaining public rights -of --way. Congress' recognition of the value of those rights -of -way in the new Telecommunications Act and of the key role of cities in building the information highway is a significant opportunity -- and obligation -- for cities in the days ahead. Cities also turned around a House attempt to preempt local zoning authority over cellular towers. The legislation emerged instead with an affirmation of a city's right to control siting, construction, and modification of wireless facilities. (Note: a last-minute fax from TML to each member of the Texas Congressional delegation drew a large, favorable response.) The new legislation is very complicated. Cities should be very wary of relying on what cable operators and telecommunications providers tell them the legislation means. Cities should not agree to amend any of their cable or telecommunication franchises until they have conducted an independent and thorough review of both the new federal law and applicable state law. When the dust settles, there will be new roles and responsibilities for cities in a variety of important areas. Right -of --Way Management and Compensation Section 253 of the new Act generally preempts barriers to entry to telecommunications markets. It also provides, however, that nothing in that section affects "the authority of a state or local government to manage the public rights -of -way or to require fair and reasonable compensation from telecommunications providers, on a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis, if the compensation required is publicly disclosed by such government." In other words, this section's "barrier to entry" clause should not interfere with a city's ability to manage its public rights -of -way and to be compensated for their use, so long as it manages and charges compensation for the rights -of -way in a nondiscriminatory fashion. The new law makes clear that this authority covers all cable and telecommunications providers who use the municipal rights -of --way. With this traditional local authority protected, cities will need to put in place procedures for negotiating nondiscriminatory rights -of --way ® Printed on recycled paper. agreements with a variety of requirements set by the Federal telecommunications providers. Some cities may Communications Commission (FCC), and can want to enact general telecommunications be required to pay the city a fee in lieu of a ordinances to provide a framework for franchise fee. The scope of the OVS provisions, agreements and compensation. These however, is ambiguous. Cities will need to ordinances will build on the cable franchising participate in FCC rulemaking proceedings experience and should be tailored for a concerning OVS to ensure their interests are particular city's goals and needs. protected. Preempting_Regulation of Telecom Services Section 303 of the new Telecommunications Act prohibits cities from using their cable franchising authority to require or prohibit the provision of telecommunications services by a cable operator. One important exception, however, would permit cites to continue requiring that cable operators provide public, ed!►cational, and government access channels and facilities and institutional networks, as the Cable Act has allowed cities to do in the past. Due to the efforts of cities, Section 303 was amended at the last minute to make clear that the section's restrictions do not prohibit cities from treating cable operators like other telecommunications providers, to the extent cable operators provide telecommunications services. Cable operators providing telecommunications services can be subjected to the same right-of- way compensation requirements as other telecommunications providers. Telco Provision of Video Services Section 302 of the Act grants telephone companies the right to provide video service. The telephone companies may enter through wireless cable, traditional cable, or the new concept of Open Video System (OVS). If a telephone company decides to enter as a wireless cable operator, it will be regulated just like other wireless cable operators. If a telephone company decides to enter as a cable operator, it will be subject to the same local franchise requirements as other cable operators. OVS is a video delivery system in which the local telephone operator makes at least two- thirds of the capacity available to unaffiliated programmers on a nondiscriminatory basis. OVS providers that are certified by the FCC are exempt from obtaining a local cable franchise. They will, however, have to meet public, educational, and government access channel Preempting Local Zoning %x Local governments negotiated a compromise with the cellular industry on the siting of wireless facilities (e.g., cellular towers) in cities. The compromise, brokered by Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), affirms the authority of cities to control siting, construction, and modification of wireless facilities. The legislation protects from federal intrusion any local zoning decision concerning wireless facilities, so long as municipal zoning decisions do not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services or preclude cellular service from a city. All challenges to municipal zoning decisions, except for those dealing with the environmental affects of radio frequency emissions, would have to be appealed to the courts, rather than the C. As a result, the negotiated agreement largely prohibits the FCC from preempting local decisions regarding zoning. The bill does not directly address the issue of local zoning authority over broadcast television antennas and satellite dishes. Section 207 of the legislation requires the FCC to promulgate rules to prohibit restrictions that "impair a viewer's ability to receive video programming services over -the -air." Cities should be prepared to address aggressive claims by broadcast and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) industries that this language allows the FCC to preempt local zoning restrictions on television antennas and satellite dishes. The Unfinished Agenda On Local Taxation Section 602 exempts providers of DBS service "from the collection or remittance, or both of any tax or fee imposed by any local taxing jurisdiction on direct -to -home satellite service." The scope of the prohibited taxes is so vague that the DBS industry is likely to argue that it includes some generally applicable local taxes and fees paid by every other business, to the extent that those taxes and fees apply to DBS providers. State taxation is not prohibited. In a floor colloquy, Commerce Committee Chairman Thomas Bliley (R-Va.), the manager of the bill in the House of Representatives, raised the possibility of further federal legislation to exempt other wireless providers from all local taxes. The House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on this proposal. Cities will need to pay close attention to additional efforts by members of Congress to preempt or erode local taxing authority. Cities also have a new weapon in that arena. Last November, Congress passed the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. That Act was intended to protect state and local governments from federally imposed costs and federally in;posed restrictions on their revenue -raising ability without compensating federal funding. The DBS tax prohibition is an unfunded mandate that could cost cities millions of dollars. When preemption of local taxation of wireless services is revisited, cities must be prepared to raise the unfunded mandates argument. Cable Rate Deregulation Rates for all cable programming service (more commonly referred to as "expanded basic service") will be deregulated as of March 31, 1999. In the case of "small systems" (50,000 subscribers or fewer, not affiliated with an operator serving over I percent of the U.S. and with less than $250 million gross revenue), expanded basic rates are deregulated immediately. Basic service remains regulated as long as there is not "effective competition." However, the definition of "effective competition" is loosened to include the mere offering of a competing video service by a telephone company, regardless of how few customers the telephone company serves in the area. For many small es, this means almost immediate cable rate deregulation. FCC Rulemakin� The new Telecommunications Act requires that within six months the FCC adopt a number of new rules, many of which will affect cities' ability to realize the full potential of telecommunications. For example, Section 702 requires the FCC to update its radiation emissions standards. Another key FCC rulemaking for local governments will involve setting the requirements for public, educational, and governmental access channels and institutional networks on new OVS that telephone companies will build and operate. Cities will need to participate actively in these new FCC rulemakings.

Miller, an attorney with the Washington, D.C. law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock, and Stone; and by Barrie Tabin of the NLC staff.) MANDATE MADNESS UNJUSTIFIED, COMMISSION SAYS Unfunded federal mandates are a symptom that something is seriously wrong with American federalism, concludes a recent study of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR). Washington's tendency to treat every problem as a national issue has abridged the historic powers of state and local governments and saddled them with complex, one -size -fits -all requirements that impose major costs with little regard for ability to pay or ability to comply, the report says. From among more than 200 separate federal manAates that reach into every nook and cranny of state and local government operations, ACIR took a detailed look at 14 of the most onerous by asking these questions: • Does the national purpose justify federal intrusion in state and local affairs? Are the costs of implementing the mandate • fairly shared a►nong all governments? • Is maximum flexibility given to state and local governments in implementing the mandate`? • Can changes be made in the mandate to relieve intergovernmental stress while still maintaining a commitment to national goals? Recommendations on Individual Mandates Of the 14 federal mandates it studied, the Commission recommends outright repeal of provisions in half of them that extend coverage to state and local governments. Seven other mandates should be modified to permit greater compliance flexibility and to accommodate the budgetary and administrative constraints of state and local governments. While not recommending repeal of the laws themselves, the Commission said that the application of seven federal laws to state and local government should be repealed. The laws are the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Drug and Alcohol Testing of Commercial Drivers, Metric Conversion, the Boren Medicaid Amendment, and the Recycled Crumb Rubber mandate (already repealed). These federal mandates, ACIR concluded, did not have a sufficient national interest to justify the intrusion on state and local government rights and authorities, broLight only by the responsible federal agency. • Safe Drinking Water Act. Enact amendments similar to those approved by the Senate and establish a long-term goal of returning to the states full responsibility for safe drinking water standards. • Endangered Species Act. Give state and local governments a broadened role. • Davis -Bacon Act. Amend the law to exempt more public works projects than are currently exempted. The ACIR report identifies six major problems common to most federal mandates and recommends ways to address them. Federal agencies should provide research and technical assistance for those governments that request it, but state and local governments should be permitted to comply with a mandate in a manner that best suits their needs and conditions. With regard to seven other federal mandates, the Commission found sufficient national policy • Costs. The federal government should purpose to justify their use, but recommended assume some share of mandate costs, both the changes below: to restrain the extent of the mandate and to help in identifying less costly compliance • Clean Water Act.

MORE INVESTMENT TRAINING TO BE AVAILABLE In response to the Orange County (Calif.) investment scandal and other investment controversies, the 1995 Texas Legislature passed H.B. 2459 relating to public funds investments. Among the many provisions of H.B. 2459 are the following: • Each investing entity (including a city) shall appo►►it one or more oflicers or employees to be responsible for the investment of funds. • The treasurer, the chief financial officer if the treasurer is not the chief financial officer, and the investment officer of a local government shall attend at least one training session relating to investment duties within 12 months after taking office or assuming duties. Most home rule cities designate by charter or ordinance a specific person to be the investment officer. Some general law cities do so, as well. In many general law cities, however, the mayor is the investment officer under Section 102.001 of the Local Government Code, unless the city has a city manager or has designated another person to handle investments. The Texas Municipal League offered investment training on October 12, 1995 in Dallas and on February 7 in San Antonio. We are aware that many city officials were unable to attend either session, and the League will be offering additional training in the future. City officials should also be aware that the Texas Rural Water Association has scheduled nine public funds investment seminars. Each one -day seminar will cover: � the Public Funds Investment Act; written investment policies; authorized investments; standards of care, prudence, and due diligence; reporting requirements; investment controls, security risks, and strategy risks; market risks; and compliance and financial viability. The seminars are scheduled for the following dates and locations: March 20 -- Austin April 18 -- Tyler May 16 -- Houston June 13 -- South Padre Island July 16 -- Galveston Ai►gust 8 -- Corpus Christi September 24 -- San Antonio October 3 -- Houston November 5 -- Dallas Further information and registration material can be obtained by contacting the Texas Rural Water Association, 1616 Rio Grande Street, Austin, Texas, 78701-1173.
