Requirements in the Third DTV Periodic 

Report and Order, FCC 07–228. 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

1,050 respondents; 174,000 responses.

Total Annual Burden: 12,015 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $210,000. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in Section 

154(i) of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No need for confidentiality required 

with this information collection. 

Needs and Uses: Congress has 

mandated that after February 17, 2009, 

full-power television broadcast stations 

must transmit only in digital signals, 

and may no longer transmit analog 

signals. On December 22, 2007, the 

Commission adopted a Report and 

Order, In the Matter of the Third 

Periodic Review of the Commission’s 

Rules and Policies Affecting the 

Conversion to Digital Television, MB 

Docket No. 07–91, FCC 07–228 to 

establish the rules, policies and 

procedures necessary to complete the 

nation’s transition to DTV. In the Report 

and Order, the Commission adopted 

rules to ensure that, by the February 17, 

2009 transition date, all full-power 

television broadcast stations (1) cease 

analog broadcasting and (2) complete 

construction of, and begin operations 

on, their final, full-authorized posttransition (DTV) facility. The 

Commission recognized that 

broadcasters may need regulatory 

flexibility in order to achieve these 

goals. Accordingly, the Commission 

affords broadcasters the opportunity for 

regulatory flexibility, if necessary, to 

meet their DTV construction deadlines. 

The Commission, however, must also 

ensure that no consumers are left 

behind in the DTV transition. Therefore, 

the Commission requires broadcasters 

that choose to reduce or terminate TV 

service to comply with viewer 

notification requirements. 

Specifically, as a result of the Third 

DTV Periodic Report and Order, stations 

must comply with a viewer notification 

requirement (i.e., stations must notify 

viewers about their planned service 

reduction or termination) if: 

(1) The station will permanently 

reduce or terminate analog or pretransition digital service before the 

transition date; or 

(2) The station will not serve at least 

the same population that receives their 

current analog TV and DTV service after 

the transition date. 

Viewer notifications must occur every 

day on-air at least four times a day 

including at least once in primetime for 

the 30/60-days prior to the station’s 

termination of full, authorized analog 

service. These notifications must 

include: (1) The station’s call sign and 

community of license; (2) the fact that 

the station must delay the construction 

and operation of its post-transition 

(DTV) service or the fact that the station 

is planning to or has reduced or 

terminated its analog or digital 

operations before the transition date; (3) 

information about the nature, scope, and 

anticipated duration of the station’s 

post-transition service limitations; (4) 

what viewers can do to continue to 

receive the station, i.e., how and when 

the station’s digital signal can be 

received; (5) information about the 

availability of digital-to-analog 

converter boxes in their service area; 

and (6) the street address, email address 

(if available), and phone number of the 

station where viewers may register 

comments or request information.
