S -( DISCUSSION ă  SX- ` x4.` ` We are not persuaded by the arguments raised by Douglas. First, with respect to the  x[standard to be used to determine what constitutes a "good quality" signal, we note that 614(h)(1)(b)(iii)  xof the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1992 Cable Act, provide the requisite signal  S- xlevels for VHF and UHF commercial stations at a cable system's headend." yOH- xԍSince these standards address the issue of availability of a station's signal, consistent with Congress' guidance  xZwith respect to VHF and UHF commercial station availability, we see no reason not to utilize the same standards  {O- xwas prima facie tests to initially determine whether a noncommercial educational station provides a cable system with a good quality signal. To establish the availability  xkof a VHF station's signal, a standard of 49 dBm was set at a cable system's headend while a standard  xof 45 dBm was established for UHF stations' signals. In this case, Douglas has allegedly determined that  xKMOSTV's signal strength falls below the requisite level for a VHF station at both of its systems'  x]principal headends. However, we find the engineering data it used to support its determination is unacceptable.  S- ` x5.` ` We note that the measurements taken by Douglas at the Garden City, Missouri headend  xsite were taken over a four hour period. As we set out in our initial decision, in instances where the  xreadings fall between 55 dBm and 49 dBm inclusive, a cable operator is required to take measurements  xover a 24hour period, with readings no more than 4 hours apart to establish reliable test results. Since  xDouglas has not provided signal measurements according to this criteria, we cannot conclude that KMOS S- xTV provides an inadequate signal at Garden City, Missouri.  yOR!- xԍAlthough KMOSTV states that the antenna height used in the signal quality tests at both the East Lynne and  xGarden City headend sites was 20feet, our review indicates that the height used at the Garden City site was  x<appropriate at 115 feet since this is the normal height at which antennas are placed on the Garden City headend tower. Further, with regard to its East Lynne  x>headend, Douglas took the necessary readings at 20 feet. The Commission's criteria requires that the  xheight of the antenna used in the test of a VHF signal be equivalent to the antenna height of other VHF  xstations carried by the system. Douglas has not stated that the 20foot height used in its measurements  xat the East Lynne headend is the normal height above ground level for the antennas it uses to receive other"`,_(_(II"  xVHF stations. Moreover, Douglas failed to indicate the orientation of the reception antenna used to  xmeasure KMOSTV's signal. In view of the above, we find that Douglas has failed to show that KMOSTV does not provide a good quality signal.  S`-1 ORDERING CLAUSES ă  S- ` #x6.` ` Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, and pursuant to 1.106 of the Commission's Rules,  S-the petition for reconsideration filed on behalf of Douglas Cable Communications IS DENIED.
