DTV Tuner Requirements
This document proposes to advance the date on which all new television receiving equipment must include the capability to receive over-the-air DTV broadcast signals from July 1, 2007, to a date no later than December 31, 2006. This revision would require all television receivers to include DTV tuners on a schedule not later than the statutory target date for the end of the DTV transition, when analog television service is to end. This proposal is intended to apply the DTV tuner requirement to all TV receivers on an advanced schedule that will allow a more rapid completion of the DTV transition while providing manufacturers with adequate time to include DTV tuners in all their TV products.
Local Telephone Competition and Broadband Reporting
On May 26, 2005, the Federal Communications Commission received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the revised information collection, Local Telephone Competition and Broadband Reporting, WC Docket 04-141, OMB Control No. 3060-0816. The Commission previously stated in the Data Collection Order that the revised information collection requirements had not been approved by OMB, and that it would publish a document announcing the effective date, 69 FR 77912, December 29, 2004. By this document, we announce that OMB Control No. 3060-0816 and the amended rules 47 CFR 1.7001(b), 20.15(b)(1), and 43.11(a) implementing it were effective on May 26, 2005.
DTV Tuner Requirements
This document modifies the schedule by which new broadcast television receivers with screen sizes 25-36 are required to include the capability to receive over-the-air digital television (DTV) broadcast signals. This action was initiated in response to a Petition for Rulemaking from the Consumer Electronics Association and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Association (CEA-CERC) requesting that we eliminate the 50 percent requirement for the 25-36 mid- size receivers and instead advance the date by which 100 percent of these receivers would include DTV tuners to March 1, 2006. This action will serve to minimize any difficulties with the 50 percent provision at the earliest practicable date and will also serve to promote the expeditious completion of the transition from analog to digital broadcast television service.
