SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–1100. 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 forprofit 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. 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victoria Goldberg, Wireline Competition Bureau, Pricing Policy Division, (202) 418–1520, victoria.goldberg@fcc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After the Commission released the CALLS Order on May 31, 2000, 65 FR 38684, June 21, 2000, four parties filed petitions for reconsideration of that order. These petitions were filed by the Association for Local Telecommunications Services (ALTS) and Focal Communications Corp., One Call Communications, Inc., Pathfinder Communications, Inc., and the Texas Office of Public Utility PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42087 Counsel. The Commission addressed the petition filed by One Call Communications, Inc. in a subsequent order, 68 FR 43327, July 22, 2003, and the Texas Office of Public Utility Counsel withdrew its petition on July 27, 2000. Since these petitions were filed, there has been a court of appeals decision and additional Commission orders addressing the rules adopted in the CALLS Order, including a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, an order on remand, 68 FR 50077, August 20, 2003, and an order on reconsideration, 68 FR 43327, July 22, 2003. In addition, the reform proposal adopted in the CALLS Order has reached the end of its five-year term and the Commission is developing a record on comprehensive intercarrier compensation reform in CC Docket No. 01–92 and on regulation of special access services in WC Docket No. 05–25. Issues raised in the pending petitions for reconsideration may therefore have become moot or outdated. As a result, it was not clear whether issues arising out of the CALLS Order, if any, remained in dispute. On March 5, 2007, the Wireline Competition Bureau (the Bureau) released a public notice inviting interested parties to update the record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration filed with respect to the rules the Commission adopted in the CALLS Order, 72 FR 13283, March 21, 2007. Specifically, the Bureau requested that parties that filed petitions for reconsideration of the CALLS Order file a supplemental notice indicating those issues that they still wish to be reconsidered. On April 5, 2007, COMPTEL and Broadwing Communications, LLC, the successors to ALTS and Focal respectively, withdrew their petition for reconsideration. Thus, the only remaining petition for reconsideration is that filed by Pathfinder. No other notices were received in response to the request to update the record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration. Due to the passage of time, the fact that the CALLS Order has reached the end of its term and the Commission is considering comprehensive reform of the access charge regime, and the fact that no other notices to pursue the petition were received, the Commission hereby dismisses the remaining petition as moot. Authority: 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 201–209, 218–222, 254, 403. E:\FR\FM\01AUN1.SGM 01AUN1
