Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension (no change in reporting, recordkeeping or third party disclosure requirements) after this 60-day comment period to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance. This voluntary collection was implemented in a letter that was sent, following the FCC’s Second E911 Coordination Initiative, to pertinent State officials who had been appointed to oversee their States’ programs to implement emergency (E911) Phase II service.

Total Annual Burden: 25,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: None. Nature of Response: Mandatory. Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted on April 25, 2007, a Second Report and Order, In the Matter of Second Periodic Review of the Commission’s Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket 03–15, FCC 07– 69. The DTV Act amended 47 U.S.C. 309(j)(14)(A) to establish a final date of February 17, 2009 set by Congress for the transition from analog to digital television service by full power television broadcasters. In a continuing effort to inform consumers of this impending deadline, the Commission will require sellers at the point-of-sale to alert consumers about analog-only televisions. Analog-only television equipment will not be able to receive an over-the-air broadcast signal unless they get a digital TV or a box to convert the digital signals to analog or subscribe to VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:12 Jul 31, 2007 Jkt 211001 pay TV service after February 17, 2009. To further protect consumers, the Commission established 47 CFR 15.117(i) which prohibits the manufacture or import of television receivers that do not contain a digital tuner after March 1, 2007. Because the rule does not prohibit sale of analogonly television equipment from inventory, the Commission decided it is necessary to require retailers and other sellers who choose to continue selling analog-only television equipment to display a sign or label disclosing the limitations of analog-only equipment after February 17, 2009. Therefore, the Commission adopted on April 25, 2007, a Second Report and Order, In the Matter of Second Periodic Review of the Commission’s Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket 03–15, FCC 07– 69. This rulemaking established 47 CFR 15.117(k) which became effective on May 25, 2007. 47 CFR 15.117(k) states that any person that displays or offers for sale or rent television receiving equipment that is not capable of receiving, decoding and tuning digital signals that the seller must place conspicuously and in close proximity to the television broadcast receivers a sign containing, in clear and conspicuous print, the Consumer Alert Disclosure. The text should be in a size of type large enough to be clear, conspicuous and readily legible, consistent with the dimensions of the equipment and the label. The information may be printed on a transparent material and affixed to the screen, if the receiver includes a display, in a manner that is removable by the consumer and does not obscure the picture, or, if the receiver does not include a display, in a prominent location on the device, such as on the top or front of the device, when displayed for sale, or the information in this format may be displayed separately immediately adjacent to each television broadcast receiver offered for sale and clearly associated with the analog-only model to which it pertains. This requirement would also apply to persons whom offer for sale or television broadcast receivers via direct mail, catalog, or electronic means. The Consumer Alert Disclosure must contain the following text: This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive overthe-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 similar products.

    Title: 47 CFR Section 15.117, Broadcast Receivers.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On time reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 25,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature of Response: Mandatory.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted on April 25, 2007, a Second 
Report and Order, In the Matter of Second Periodic Review of the 
Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital 
Television, MB Docket 03-15, FCC 07-69. The DTV Act amended 47 U.S.C. 
309(j)(14)(A) to establish a final date of February 17, 2009 set by 
Congress for the transition from analog to digital television service 
by full power television broadcasters. In a continuing effort to inform 
consumers of this impending deadline, the Commission will require 
sellers at the point-of-sale to alert consumers about analog-only 
televisions. Analog-only television equipment will not be able to 
receive an over-the-air broadcast signal unless they get a digital TV 
or a box to convert the digital signals to analog or subscribe to pay 
TV service after February 17, 2009. To further protect consumers, the 
Commission established 47 CFR 15.117(i) which prohibits the manufacture 
or import of television receivers that do not contain a digital tuner 
after March 1, 2007. Because the rule does not prohibit sale of analog-
only television equipment from inventory, the Commission decided it is 
necessary to require retailers and other sellers who choose to continue 
selling analog-only television equipment to display a sign or label 
disclosing the limitations of analog-only equipment after February 17, 
2009. Therefore, the Commission adopted on April 25, 2007, a Second 
Report and Order, In the Matter of Second Periodic Review of the 
Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital 
Television, MB Docket 03-15, FCC 07-69. This rulemaking established 47 
CFR 15.117(k) which became effective on May 25, 2007. 47 CFR 15.117(k) 
states that any person that displays or offers for sale or rent 
television receiving equipment that is not capable of receiving, 
decoding and tuning digital signals that the seller must place 
conspicuously and in close proximity to the television broadcast 
receivers a sign containing, in clear and conspicuous print, the 
Consumer Alert Disclosure. The text should be in a size of type large 
enough to be clear, conspicuous and readily legible, consistent with 
the dimensions of the equipment and the label. The information may be 
printed on a transparent material and affixed to the screen, if the 
receiver includes a display, in a manner that is removable by the 
consumer and does not obscure the picture, or, if the receiver does not 
include a display, in a prominent location on the device, such as on 
the top or front of the device, when displayed for sale, or the 
information in this format may be displayed separately immediately 
adjacent to each television broadcast receiver offered for sale and 
clearly associated with the analog-only model to which it pertains. 
This requirement would also apply to persons whom offer for sale or 
television broadcast receivers via direct mail, catalog, or electronic 
means. The Consumer Alert Disclosure must contain the following text: 
This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will 
require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive over-the-
air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation's transition to 
digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before 
with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD 
players, and similar products. For more information, call the Federal 
Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY: 1-888-835-5322) or
