Removal of Regulations That 

Implement and Administer a Coupon 

Program for Digital-to-Analog 

Converter Boxes 

AGENCY: National Telecommunications 

and Information Administration, U.S. 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration (NTIA) issues this final 

rule to remove its regulations to 

implement and administer the Digitalto-Analog Converter Box Program 

(Coupon Program). The regulations 

implemented provisions of section 3005 

of the Digital Television Transition and 

Public Safety Act of 2005, as 

subsequently amended. The final 

coupons were issued on August 12, 

2009, and expired on November 9, 2009. 

NTIA is removing its regulations 

because the Coupon Program is closed 

and the regulations are now obsolete. 

DATES: This rule becomes effective on 

November 9, 2010.

I. Background Information 

The Digital Television Transition and 

Public Safety Act of 2005 (the Act), 

Public Law 109–171, as amended by the 

DTV Delay Act, Public Law 111–4, 

directed the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC) to require full-power 

television stations to cease analog 

broadcasting and to broadcast solely 

digital transmissions after June 12, 

2009.1 The returned analog television 

spectrum was auctioned and proceeds 

were deposited into the Digital 

Television Transition and Public Safety 

Fund (the Fund).2

Section 3005 of the Act authorized 

NTIA to establish and implement the 

Coupon Program and provided that 

eligible U.S. households could obtain a 

maximum of two coupons of $40 each 

to apply toward the purchase of 

Coupon-Eligible Converter Boxes 

(CECB).3 Accordingly, on March 15, 

2007, NTIA issued a final rule entitled, 

‘‘Rules to Implement and Administer a 

Coupon Program for Digital-to-Analog 

Converter Boxes.’’ 4 The purpose of the 

program was to provide consumers who 

wished to continue receiving over-theair broadcast programming on their 

analog-only televisions $40 coupons to 

offset the cost of digital-to-analog 

converter boxes. Consumers had the 

option to apply by mail, over the phone, 

via fax, or online. Consumers had 90 

days to redeem their $40 coupon(s) at 

participating retailers.5 The converter 

boxes were manufactured according to 

NTIA minimum technical specifications 

based on ATSC Guidelines A/74 and 47 

CFR part 73.6 Retailers were required to 

provide NTIA with redemption 

information and payment receipts 

related to coupons used in the purchase 

of CECBs, specifically tracking each 

serialized coupon by number with a 

corresponding CECB purchase. 

Participating retailers also were required 

to accept coupons for, and receive 

payment resulting from, only authorized 

purchases made for CECBs.7 The 

regulations required retailers to 

maintain sales records for one year 

following the sales transaction date for 

auditing purposes.8

NTIA subsequently amended its 

regulations to waive the ‘‘eligible 

household’’ requirements in the 

regulations for individuals residing in 

nursing homes, intermediate care 

facilities, and assisted living facilities.9

NTIA also amended its regulations to 

permit otherwise eligible households to 

utilize post office boxes in applying for 

and receiving coupons.10

On March 31, 2009, NTIA amended 

the regulations to conform to the DTV 

Delay Act, which extended the deadline 

for the digital conversion and the 

coupon application period for an 

additional four months.11 The amended 

regulations also permitted households 

to request replacement coupons, and 

gave NTIA flexibility in the manner in 

which it distributed coupons.12

II. Removal of the Regulations To 

Implement and Administer a Coupon 

Program for Digital-to-Analog 

Converter Boxes 

Section 3005 of the Act required 

NTIA to issue coupons through July 31, 

2009, and administer the program until 

the last coupon expired 90 days from 

issuance. The final coupons were issued 

on August 12, 2009, and expired on 

November 9, 2009. Retailers are 

required to maintain sales records for 

one year following the sales transaction 

date, which would be November 8, 

2010. NTIA is removing its regulations 

because the statute no longer obligates 

NTIA to implement and administer the 

program, and after November 8, 2010, 

the regulations are obsolete. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Assistant Secretary for 

Communications and Information 

Administration for NTIA finds good 

cause under the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to 

waive prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment because it is 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. This rulemaking would remove 

from the Code of Federal Regulations 

those regulations that implement 

provisions of section 3005 of the Act, 

which authorized NTIA to establish and 

implement a coupon program in which
