Title: Digital Television Transition Information Questionnaires. Form Number: Not applicable. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. Number of Respondents: 844. Estimated Time per Response: 4 to 24 hours. Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 4,823 hours. Total Annual Cost: $251,400. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress directed that every broadcaster be given a second channel for digital operations. Subsequently, the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 established February 17, 2009 as the date certain for the end of analog broadcasts by television licensees. At the end of the transition, broadcasters’ analog channels will be returned to the government and the broadcast spectrum will contract from channels 2–69 to channels 2–51. This 108 MHz of spectrum (channels 52–69) can then be used by advanced wireless services and public safety authorities. There are several key building blocks to a successful transition. First, content— consumers must perceive something significantly different than what they have in analog. Second, distribution— the content must be delivered to consumers in a simple and convenient way. Third, equipment—equipment must be capable, affordable and consumer-friendly. And fourth, education—consumers must be educated about what digital television is, and what it can do for them. These information requests are designed to gather data in these key areas.
