Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain benefits. The statutory authority
for this collection of information is
contained in Sections 4(i), 303(r), 335,
and 336 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i),

Needs and Uses: After the nationwide
DTV transition date of June 12, 2009,
full–power television broadcast stations
must transmit only digital signals, and
may no longer transmit analog signals,
except for limited analog ‘‘nightlight’’
service. The DTV Delay Act directs the
Commission to take any actions
‘‘necessary or appropriate to implement
the provisions, and carry out the

purposes’’ of the DTV Delay Act, and to
do so within 30 days. Congress
extended the transition date in order to
permit analog service to continue until
consumers have had additional time to
prepare. But Congress also directed the
Commission to provide flexibility for
stations wanting to transition prior to
the new date. Stations may have made
extensive preparations for a February 17
digital transition and some may have
difficulty altering their commitments at
this time. The Commission’s challenge
is to provide opportunities for some
stations to end analog broadcasting early
without sacrificing the goal of giving
consumers additional time to prepare.
Therefore, Commission is revising
this information collection to eliminate
most of the requirements after June 30,
2009; however, broadcasters must
continue to comply with the consumer
education information collection
requirements until they have completed,
and are operating, their final, full–
authorized post–transition (DTV)
facility.
The information collection
requirements that will remain in the
collection are as follows:
Broadcaster Education and Reporting
(47 CFR 73.674).
(a) On–air Education. Broadcasters
must provide on–air DTV Transition
consumer education information (e.g.,
via Public Service Announcements
(PSAs), information crawls, snipes or
tickers) to their viewers. Broadcasters
must comply with one of three
alternative sets of rules as provided in
the Report and Order. Stations must also
provide the following additional
information: (1) geographically specific
information detailing areas that are
covered by the Grade B analog contour
but are not predicted to receive digital
service; (2) educational information
describing areas where analog signal
strength is generally sufficient for
viewers to rely on an indoor antenna but
where it is likely that they will need an
outdoor antenna to receive the digital
signal; (3) information to consumers
about the need to periodically ‘‘rescan’’
when using over–the–air digital
reception equipment, particularly
through the end of the transition; (4)
stations that are changing their
broadcast frequency from VHF to UHF
(or vice versa), information to
consumers about the need for additional
or different equipment to avoid loss of
service. Stations may include this
information to satisfy part of their
existing PSA requirements. In addition,
if applicable, stations must provide
specific notice to analog viewers who
are likely to lose over–the–air service
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
from the station due to changes in the
geographic coverage area or population
served by the station during or after the
transition. Broadcasters must continue
to provide on air education to their
viewers until they complete their
transition to digital–only operations and
are operating their final, full–authorized
post–transition (DTV) facility. In most
cases, stations will be operating at full–
authorized post–transition (DTV)
facilities no later than the June 12, 2009
nationwide transition deadline, but, in
some cases, stations will not have
completed construction of their final,
fully–authorized DTV facility by June 12
and, therefore, must continue to provide
on–air DTV Transition consumer
education information to their viewers.
(b) DTV Consumer Education
Quarterly Activity Report, FCC Form
388. Broadcasters must electronically
file a report about its DTV Transition
consumer education efforts to the
Commission on a quarterly basis.
Broadcasters must begin filing these
quarterly reports no later than April 10,
2008. In addition, if the broadcaster has
a public Web site, they must post these
reports on that Web site. Broadcasters
must complete these filings every
quarter until they complete their
transition to digital–only operations and
are operating their final, full–authorized
post–transition (DTV) facility.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is
revising this information collection to
eliminate the information collection
requirements necessitated by the DTV
transition. After the June 12, 2009
nationwide transition deadline, there
will be no further need for these DTV
transition–related collections. In
addition, the Commission is revising
this collection to update the specific
Informal Application filing forms that
may be filed electronically through the
Commission’s Consolidated Database
System (‘‘CDBS’’).
The following information collection
requirements are contained in this
collection:
Special Temporary Authority (STA)
Requests (47 CFR § 73.1635). Broadcast
stations (AM, FM, TV, Class A TV or
LPTV licensees or permittes) may file a
request for STA approval to permit a
station to operate a broadcast facility for
a limited period at a specified variance
from the terms of the station’s
authorization or requirements of the
FCC rules. Stations may file a request
for STA approval for a variety of
reasons. The request must describe the
operating modes and facilities to be
used. Types of STA requests include
Engineering and Legal STAs.
Change in Official Mailing Address
for Broadcast Station (47 CFR § 1.5).
Broadcast stations may file this form to
report any changes in the station’s
mailing address, but cannot use this
form to correct or change the name of
the licensee.
Consummation Notice. Broadcast
stations may file this form to notify the
Commission when an assignment of
license or transfer of control is
consummated. The form also may be
used by the station to request an
extension of time to consummate.
Silent Notifications (47 CFR §
73.1740). Broadcast stations (AM, FM,
TV or Class A TV licensees) may file
this form to notify the Commission of
the station’s suspension of broadcast
operations pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §
73.1740. Broadcast stations also may use
this form to request a silent STA or
extension thereof. Types of Silent
Notifications include Silent STA,
Notification of Suspension, Resumption
of Operations, and Extension of Silent
STA Request.
Section 73.1615 notifications (47 CFR
§ 73.1615). Broadcast stations (AM, FM,
TV or Class A TV licensees) must file a

authorized by a construction permit and
determines it is necessary to either
discontinue operation or to operate with
temporary facilities to continue program
service for a period not more than 30
days. Licensees or permittees of
directional or nondirectional FM, TV or
Class A TV or nondirectional AM must
file a notification and comply with 47
CFR 73.1615(a). Licensees or permittees
of a directional AM station whose
modification does not involve a change
in operating frequency must file a
notification and comply with 47 CFR
73.1615(b). Licensees or permittees of a
directional AM station whose
modification does involve a change in
frequency and determines it is necessary
to discontinue operation for a period not
more than 30 days must file a
notification and comply with 47 CFR
73.1615(d)(2).
Section 73.1615 informal letter
requests (47 CFR § 73.1615). Broadcast
stations (AM, FM, TV or Class A TV
licensees or permittees) must file an
informal letter request under 47 CFR

limited analog ``nightlight'' service. The DTV Delay Act directs the
Commission to take any actions ``necessary or appropriate to implement

Therefore, Commission is revising this information collection to
eliminate most of the requirements after June 30, 2009; however,
broadcasters must continue to comply with the consumer education
information collection requirements until they have completed, and are
operating, their final, full-authorized post-transition (DTV) facility.
The information collection requirements that will remain in the
collection are as follows:
Broadcaster Education and Reporting (47 CFR 73.674).
(a) On-air Education. Broadcasters must provide on-air DTV
Transition consumer education information (e.g., via Public Service
Announcements (PSAs), information crawls, snipes or tickers) to their
viewers. Broadcasters must comply with one of three alternative sets of
rules as provided in the Report and Order. Stations must also provide
the following additional information: (1) geographically specific
information detailing areas that are covered by the Grade B analog
contour but are not predicted to receive digital service; (2)
educational information describing areas where analog signal strength
is generally sufficient for viewers to rely on an indoor antenna but
where it is likely that they will need an outdoor antenna to receive
the digital signal; (3) information to consumers about the need to
periodically ``rescan'' when using over-the-air digital reception

addition, if applicable, stations must provide specific notice to
analog viewers who are likely to lose over-the-air service from the
station due to changes in the geographic coverage area or population
served by the station during or after the transition. Broadcasters must
continue to provide on air education to their viewers until they
complete their transition to digital-only operations and are operating
their final, full-authorized post-transition (DTV) facility. In most
cases, stations will be operating at full-authorized post-transition
(DTV) facilities no later than the June 12, 2009 nationwide transition
deadline, but, in some cases, stations will not have completed
construction of their final, fully-authorized DTV facility by June 12
and, therefore, must continue to provide on-air DTV Transition consumer
education information to their viewers.
(b) DTV Consumer Education Quarterly Activity Report, FCC Form 388.
Broadcasters must electronically file a report about its DTV Transition
consumer education efforts to the Commission on a quarterly basis.
Broadcasters must begin filing these quarterly reports no later than
April 10, 2008. In addition, if the broadcaster has a public Web site,
they must post these reports on that Web site. Broadcasters must
complete these filings every quarter until they complete their
