Compensation for Cuban interference with broadcasting in United States (a) Interim assistance to United States broad- casters It is the intent of the Congress that the Sec- retary of State should seek prompt and full set- tlement of United States claims against the Government of Cuba arising from Cuban inter- ference with broadcasting in the United States. Pending the settlement of these claims, it is ap- propriate to provide some interim assistance to the United States broadcasters who are ad- versely affected by Cuban radio interference and who seek to assert their right to measures to counteract the effects of such interference. (b) Money payments pursuant to authority from Federal Communications Commission Accordingly, the Board may make payments to the United States radio broadcasting station licensees upon their application for expenses which they have incurred before, on, or after Oc- tober 4, 1983, in mitigating, pursuant to special temporary authority from the Federal Commu- nications Commission, the effects of activities by the Government of Cuba which directly inter- fere with the transmission or reception of broad- casts by these licensees. Such expenses shall be limited to the costs of equipment replaced (less depreciation) and associated technical and engi- neering costs. (c) Regulations and procedures The Federal Communications Commission shall issue such regulations and establish such procedures for carrying out this section as the Federal Communications Commission finds ap- propriate. Such regulations shall be issued no later than one hundred and eighty days after Oc- tober 4, 1983. (d) Authorization of appropriations There are authorized to be appropriated to the Board, $5,000,000 for use in compensating United States radio broadcasting licensees pursuant to this section. Amounts appropriated under this section are authorized to be available until ex- pended. (e) Four-year availability for appropriated funds Funds appropriated for implementation of this section shall be available for a period of no more than four years following the initial broadcast occurring as a result of programs described in this subchapter. (f) Presidential task force It is the sense of the Congress that the Presi- dent should establish a task force to analyze the level of interference from the operation of Cuban radio stations experienced by broad- casters in the United States and to seek a prac- tical political and technical solution to this problem. (g) Effective Date This section shall enter into effect on October 1, 1984. (Pub. L. 98–111, § 7, Oct. 4, 1983, 97 Stat. 752; Pub. L. 98–411, title V, § 512, Aug. 30, 1984, 98 Stat. 1574; Pub.
