• (b) for all other systems, on the last day of the month after the month in which a distant signal is first retransmitted in that year.

(2) A system shall be deemed to be a small retransmission system for a given year if

• (a) on December 31 of the previous year, the system retransmitted a distant signal and was a small retransmission system;
• (b) the system did not retransmit a distant signal on December 31 of the previous year and is a small retransmission system on the last day of the month in which it first retransmits a distant signal in the year; or
• (c) the average number of premises, determined in accordance with the Definition of “Small Retransmission Systems” Regulations, the system served or was deemed to serve on the last day of each month of the previous year during which it retransmitted a distant signal was no more than 2 000.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(c), where a system was included in a unit on December 31 of the previous year and not on December 31, 1993, only those months during which the systems included in the unit were the same as on December 31 of the previous year shall be used.

Unscrambled LPTVs and Unscrambled MDSs

5. The royalty for an LPTV or MDS whose signals are not scrambled shall be $100 a year and shall be due

(2) Reports required under sections 15 through 24 of this tariff related to the additional royalties are due on or before the settlement date.

(3) All additional royalties and interest, and any other royalty or adjustment paid or deducted by or before the settlement date, shall be paid according to the old allocation.

(4) Notwithstanding subsection (3) of this section, all additional royalties not paid by the settlement date, and associated interest, shall be paid according to the allocations in section 14 of this tariff.

37. (1) After having consulted all the Collectives, based on a mutually agreed-upon date or dates (“reallocation dates”), CRC shall provide to the Collectives a final statement indicating the amounts due to a receiving collective as a result of the difference between the new allocation and the old allocation.

(2) The amounts in subsection (1) shall be calculated in two steps as follows: (step 1) for 2016 through 2018, paying collectives will make reallocation payments to receiving collectives in respect of royalties paid by retransmitters using the rates set out in the Interim Tariff, based on the difference between the old allocation and the new allocation, together with simple interest calculated from the original due date of the relevant royalties under the Interim Tariff, to the agreed reallocation date of the payment; and (step 2) for 2016 through 2018, paying collectives will make further reallocation payments to receiving collectives in respect of additional royalties and associated interest paid by retransmitters by or before the settlement date, based on the difference between the old allocation and the new allocation, together with simple interest calculated from the payment date of the additional royalties and interest by the retransmitter to the agreed-upon reallocation date of the payment. For the purposes of the interest calculations, the calculation rules set out in section 35 relating to interest on additional royalties shall apply, as will the interest rates provided for in section 35(4) and 35(3) of this tariff.

(3) All payments to be made pursuant to the final statements referred to in subsection (1) are due by the reallocation dates, which shall not be later than January 31, 2020.

(4) Any required payments not made by the reallocation dates shall be treated as late and subject to payment of interest in accordance with section 30 of this tariff.
