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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
