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.
