new paragraph (4). *Id.* at 1501A-527. The Act amended section 119(d) by substituting new language for paragraphs (9) through (11) and by adding paragraph (12).* Id.* at 1501A-527, 530 and 531. The Act substituted new language for section 119(e). *Id.* at 1501A-529. 56 The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 amended section 119(a)(1) by deleting "primary transmission made by a superstation and embodying a performance or display of a work" and inserting in its place "performance or display of a work embodied in a primary transmission made by a superstation." Pub. L. No. 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, app. I at 1501A-543. This amendatory language did not take into account a prior amendment which had inserted "or by the Public Broadcasting Service satellite feed" after "superstation" into the phrase quoted above that was deleted. Pub. L. No. 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, app. I at 1501A-530. There was no mention of the phrase "or by the Public Broadcasting Service satellite feed" in that second amendment. To accommodate both amendments, the phrase "or by the Public Broadcasting Service satellite feed" has been placed at the end of the new language, after "superstation." 57 The Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1994 states that "The provisions of section 119(a)(5)(D) . . . relating to the burden of proof of satellite carriers, shall take effect on January 1, 1997, with respect to civil actions relating to the eligibility of subscribers who subscribed to service as an unserved household before the date of the enactment of this Act." Pub. L. No. 103-369, 108 Stat. 3477, 3481. 58 It appears that section 1011(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 inadvertently omitted the word "a" when it amended this paragraph. Pub. L. No. 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, app. I at 1501A-528. 59 The Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1994 states that "The provisions of section 119(a)(8)[,] . . . relating to transitional signal intensity measurements, shall cease to be effective on December 31, 1996." Pub. L. No. 103-369, 108 Stat. 3477, 3481. 60 It appears that Congress intended for the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 to amend section 119(a) of title 17, as amended by section 1005(d) of the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999, by adding a new paragraph (12) at the end thereof. Pub. L. No. 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, app. I at 1501A-531. However, due to a drafting error, the reference in the amendmen
