Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the emergency
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA).
Title: Converter Box Coupon ProgramConsumer and Retailer Pilot Test
Surveys.
OMB Control Number: None.
Agency Form Number: None.
Type of Request: Emergency.
Burden Hours: 150.
Average Time per Response: 15
minutes.
Number of Respondents: 1,100.
Needs and Uses: Congress directed
the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) to
create and implement a program to
provide coupons for consumers to
purchase digital-to-analog converter
boxes (See Title III of the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109–
171, 120 Stat. 4, 21, February 8, 2006).
The converter boxes are necessary for
consumers who wish to continue
receiving broadcast programming over
the air using analog-only television sets
after February 18, 2009—the date that
television stations are required by law to
cease analog broadcasting. On March 15,
2007, NTIA published a Final Rule
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:05 Jan 14, 2008
Jkt 214001
establishing the parameters of the
Coupon Program and describing the
rights and responsibilities of interested
parties (See Rules to Implement and
Administer a Coupon Program for
Digital-to-Analog Converter Boxes, 72
FR 12097 (codified at 47 CFR 301)).
Among other things, the regulations
permit consumers to submit
applications to NTIA for coupons
beginning January 1, 2008. See 47 CFR
301.3(b).
One critical aspect of testing the
coupon program, prior to full launch in
all markets in early February 2008, is a
‘‘live pilot’’ test in which a limited
number of volunteers will apply for the
coupon, receive the coupon through the
U.S. mail, and attempt to redeem the
coupon at a local retailer for an
‘‘eligible’’ converter box. A material part
of the pilot test is that the volunteers
(consumers) will be asked to complete
a survey regarding their experience in
applying for and receiving the coupon
and purchasing the converter box at a
participating retail outlet. The retailers
will be asked to complete a survey to
provide feedback on such matters as
their experience in redeeming the
coupons, inventory issues, and
employee training support. The
information gathered from the surveys is
intended to resolve potential problems
in the system at the earliest stage
possible. Only the data supplied by
actual consumers and retailers through
the surveys can accurately identify
flaws in the process.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: One-time only.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Jasmeet K. Seehra,

collection proposal can be obtained by

information collection should be sent by
January 25, 2008 to Jasmeet Seehra,
