This non-substantial change request is being submitted to OMB for approval in the event that the change in nationwide DTV Transition date is enacted into law. On February 5, 2009, the United States Congress passed legislation, known as the DTV Delay Act, that would extend the date for the completion of the DTV transition from February 17, 2009, to June 12, 2009. This submission will cover information collection requirements through the new transition date (June 12, 2009 or whatever final DTV Transition date is ultimately established by Congress and enacted into law) and, where required by FCC Order, a specified amount of time after such date. This submission applies only if the DTV Delay Act is enacted into law.
The Commission adopted on April 23, 2008, an Order of Reconsideration, In the Matter of DTV Consumer Education Initiative, MB Docket 07-148, FCC 08-119. In this Order, we modify our requirements regarding the timing, scope, and content of manufacturer notices and the method of delivery of eligible telecommunications carriers (ETC) notices, and clarify other manufacturer requirements.
There are no program changes to this information collection. However, there are adjustments to the annual burden hours and annual cost burden. These adjustments are due to the date extension for the conversion from analog to digital TV from February 17, 2009 to June 12, 2009.
