Section 711.810 - Designation of PEG access channels; requirements and procedure; reclamation of channels; applicability1. A local government that requests capacity for PEG access programming may require a holder of a certificate to designate:(a) Not more than two PEG access channels, if the population within the jurisdiction of the local government is less than 55,000.(b) Not more than three PEG access channels, if the population within the jurisdiction of the local government is 55,000 or more.2. The number of PEG access channels set forth in subsection 1 constitutes the total number of PEG access channels that the holder may be required to designate on any single video service network utilizing a single headend or hub office, or on all commonly owned video service networks that share a common headend or hub office, regardless of the number of local governments served from that headend or hub office. If more than one local government is served by a single or common headend or hub office, the populations within the jurisdictions of all those local governments must be aggregated to determine the total number of PEG access channels under subsection 1.3. When a local government submits its request for capacity for PEG access programming, the local government must submit information which establishes that each PEG access channel it has requested will be substantially utilized. If one or more of the PEG access channels available under subsection 1 are being used at the headend or hub office when the local government submits its request, the holder is not required to make any of the remaining PEG access channels available to the local government unless the local government submits information which establishes that all existing PEG access channels at the headend or hub office are being substantially utilized.4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, if a local government does not substantially utilize a PEG access channel made available to it pursuant to this section, the holder may reclaim the channel capacity for its own purposes. After reclaiming the channel capacity, if the local government makes a request for restoration of the PEG access channel and submits to the holder information which establishes that the PEG access channel will be substantially utilized, the holder shall restore the PEG access channel to the local government unless, when the request is submitted to the holder, the maximum number of PEG access channels available under subsection 1 are being used at the headend or hub office which serves the local government. If the restoration can be made within the limits of subsection 1, the holder shall restore the PEG access channel to the local government within a reasonable period of not less than 120 days after the date on which the request is submitted to the holder.5. The provisions of subsection 4 do not apply to the first PEG access channel which is made available to a local government that does not have a PEG access channel in service on June 4, 2007.Added to NRS by 2007, 1367; A 2011, 1316Added to NRS by 2007, 1367; A 2011, 1316
