On February 19, 2008, the Commission
adopted a Report and Order in MB
Docket No. 07–148, FCC 08–56,
concerning the DTV Consumer
Education Initiative. The Report and
Order noted that many retailers have
agreed to participate in the National
Telecommunications and Information
Agency (NTIA) digital-to-analog
converter box coupon program. Those
retailers claim to have undertaken
significant employee training initiatives
regarding the converter box program
and the digital television transition.
Among other things, the Report and
Order offered the Commission’s
assistance to the NTIA to assess those
training efforts. In this regard, the
Commission’s Enforcement Bureau field
agents will regularly visit participating
retailer stores across the country. They
will conduct on-the-spot interviews
with retail managers to ascertain
whether retailers who participate in the
converter box coupon box program are
PO 00000
Frm 00035

fulfilling their commitment to engage in
extensive employee training on the DTV
transition and converter box program.
The interview will consist of a series of
questions to assess employee training
and whether the retailer’s objectives are
being met at stores. The interview will
not be part of an official investigation
and no penalty would result from the
interview. The information collected
will be forwarded to FCC Headquarters
to be consolidated into an aggregated
report that will then be forwarded to
NTIA for its review and appropriate
action.
