Article 133.1 of Law 39/2015, of 1 October, on the Common Administrative Procedure of the Public Administrations and article 26.2 of Law 50/1997, of 27 November, of the Government establish that prior to the elaboration of the draft or preliminary draft law or regulation, a public consultation will be held, through the web portal of the competent Administration in which the opinion of the subjects and the most representative organizations potentially affected by the future rule will be sought.
In application of both legal precepts, the present prior public consultation is initiated, in order to elaborate a project of Royal Decree regulating the direct granting of subsidies to providers of the public service of television audiovisual communication at state and regional level, so that any subject, person or interested party can express their opinions or present the comments and documents that they deem appropriate.
The regulation refers to facilitating the compensation to cover the costs of carrying out simulcast broadcasts in a coordinated manner in each geographical area, which must be carried out by public service providers of television audiovisual communication at state and regional level, to enable and facilitate the adaptation of citizens’ digital television reception facilities, which must be carried out as a result of the frequency changes resulting from the release of the 700 MHz band (second digital dividend).
