(a) for systems retransmitting a distant signal on December 31 of the previous year, on January 31 of that year; and
(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 a LPTV or MDS whose signals are not scrambled shall be $100 a year and shall be due
