Abstract: NTIA is proposing to implement a program to provide $40 coupons to consumers for use towards the purchase of digital-to-analog converter boxes. The converter boxes are necessary for consumers who wish to receive broadcast programming over-the-air using analog-only televisions after the date that full-power stations are required to cease analog broadcasting. This information collection requires retailers to certify that they will adhere to and enforce the conditions of the coupon program.
