Submission for OMB Review
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the emergency
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA).
Title: NTIA Message Testing Focus
Groups for the Digital-to-Analog
Converter Box Coupon Program.
Agency Form Number: None.
Type of Request: Emergency
submission.
Burden: 352 hours.
Average Time Per Response: 2 hours.
Needs and Uses: Congress directed
the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) to
create and implement a program to
provide coupons for consumers to
purchase digital-to-analog converter
boxes. (See Title III of the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109–
171, 120 Stat. 4, 21 (Feb. 8, 2006)).
These converter boxes are necessary for
consumers who wish to continue
receiving broadcast programming over
the air using analog-only television sets
after February 18, 2009—the date that
television stations are required by law to
cease analog broadcasting. The
regulations permit consumers to submit
applications to NTIA for coupons
beginning January 1, 2008. See 47 CFR
301.3(b).
An effective consumer education
campaign, including the development of
a campaign identity, messages, and
consumer materials, is essential to the
Coupon Program. Of particular
importance is the development of an
application for consumers that is easy to
understand and to submit to NTIA. In
an effort to ensure that the materials and
messages developed for the campaign
resonate with all target audiences, these
items will be tested with representatives
from targeted audiences. The targeted
audiences, identified as the more reliant
on over-the-air television, include the

following: (1) Economically
disadvantaged households; (2) rural
residents; (3) minorities; (4) people with
disabilities; and (5) seniors.
Representatives from the target
audiences will participate in ‘‘focus
groups’’ to assist NTIA in determining
the clarity of the message; identifying
difficulty or ease in presenting and
receiving pertinent information; and
improving the presentation of the
information.
Nineteen (19) focus groups are
scheduled in eight cities and via
teleconference. Five additional
participants will be interviewed who are
deaf or hard of hearing for a total
number of 176 participants. The
information will be collected by
Ketchum, Inc., a global public relations
firm, that is leading the consumer
education program as a subcontractor to
IBM, NTIA’s prime contractor. NTIA
awarded a contract to IMB in August
2007 to administer the diverse
operational elements of the Coupon
Program. The information will be used
to develop a consumer application as
well as other consumer education
materials related to the Coupon
Program.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Jasmeet K. Seehra,

collection proposal can be obtained by
