In the Report and Order in the above-captioned proceeding, FCC 99-116, which was released May 26, 1999 ("Order"), the Commission amended Section 76.55(e). This Erratum reinstates a sentence from Section 76.55(e)(1) that was inadvertently omitted from the new Section 76.55(e)(2), as follows (reinstated language in bold): (1) Until January 1, 2000, a commercial broadcast television station's market, unless amended pursuant to  76.59, shall be defined as its Area of Dominant Influence (ADI) as determined by Arbitron and published in the Arbitron 1991- 1992 Television ADI Market Guide, as noted below, except that for areas outside the contiguous 48 states, the market of a station shall be defined using Nielsen's Designated Market Area (DMA), where applicable, as published in the Nielsen 1991-92 DMA Market and Demographic Rank Report, and that Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam will each be considered a single market. (2) Effective January 1, 2000, a commercial broadcast television station's market, unless amended pursuant to 76.59, shall be defined as its Designated Market Area (DMA) as determined by Nielsen Media Research and published in its Nielsen Station Index Directory and Nielsen Station Index US Television Household Estimates or any successor publications. Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam will each be considered a single market. (i) For the 1999 election pursuant to 76.64(f), which becomes effective on January 1, 2000, DMA assignments specified in the 1997-98 Nielsen Station Index Directory and September 1997 Nielsen Station Index US Television Household Estimates, available from Nielsen Media Research, 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY, shall be used. (ii) The applicable DMA list for the 2002 election pursuant to 76.64(f) will be the DMA assignments specified in the 2000-2001 list, and so forth for each triennial election pursuant to 76.64(f). 2. This change reflects the fact that Nielsen Media Research does not operate in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands or Guam. By this change we continue the existing designation of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam as each constituting a single market for purposes of the mandatory carriage rules.
