Auction of Lower and Upper Paging Bands Licenses Rescheduled for June 15, 2010; Status of Short-Form Applications to Participate in Auction 87, 21627 [2010-9623]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 79 / Monday, April 26, 2010 / Notices Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required with this collection of information. Needs and Uses: As of the June 12, 2009 statutory digital television (DTV) transition deadline, all full-power television stations stopped broadcasting in analog and are broadcasting only digital signals. Section 15.117(k) of the Commission’s rules requires sellers of TV sets (and other TV receiver equipment) that do not contain a digital tuner to disclose to consumers at the point-of-sale that such devices include only an analog tuner and, therefore, are not able to receive over-the-air TV broadcasts. (Consumers with analogonly television equipment are not 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, such as cable or satellite.) The Commission adopted this labeling (disclosure) requirement in 2007 to protect consumers by ensuring that they are made aware at the point-of-sale about the limitations of analog-only television receivers. Note that, while the Commission’s rules prohibit the manufacture or import of television receivers that do not contain a digital tuner, the rules do not prohibit the sale of analog-only television equipment from inventory. For this reason, the Commission decided it was necessary to impose this requirement. Although the DTV transition deadline has passed, analog-only TV equipment remains available in the marketplace and this disclosure requirement, therefore, remains necessary to continue to protect consumers. Accordingly, the Commission is seeking an extension of this information collection. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
