Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:

Needs and Uses: Section 73.682(d) of
the Commission’s rules incorporates by
reference the Advanced Television
Systems Committee, Inc. (‘‘ATSC’’)
Program System and Information
Protocol (‘‘PSIP’’) standard ‘‘A/65C.’’
PSIP data is transmitted along with a TV
broadcast station’s digital signal and
provides viewers (via their DTV
receivers) with information about the
station and what is being broadcast,
such as program information. The
Commission has recognized the utility
that the ATSC PSIP standard offers for
both broadcasters and consumers (or
viewers) of digital television (‘‘DTV’’).
ATSC PSIP standard A/65C requires
broadcasters to provide detailed
programming information when
transmitting their broadcast signal. This
standard enhances consumers’ viewing
experience by providing detailed
information about digital channels and
programs, such as how to find a
program’s closed captions, multiple
streams and V-chip information. This
standard requires broadcasters to
populate the Event Information Tables
(‘‘EITs’’) (or program guide) with
accurate information about each event
(or program) and to update the EIT if
more accurate information becomes
available. The previous ATSC PSIP
standard A/65–B did not require
broadcasters to provide such detailed
programming information but only
general information.

programming information when transmitting their broadcast signal. This
standard enhances consumers' viewing experience by providing detailed
information about digital channels and programs, such as how to find a
program's closed captions, multiple streams and V-chip information.
This standard requires broadcasters to populate the Event Information
Tables (``EITs'') (or program guide) with accurate information about
each event (or program) and to update the EIT if more accurate
information becomes available. The previous ATSC PSIP standard A/65-B
did not require broadcasters to provide such detailed programming
information but only general information.
