Abstract:
On September 17, 2010, the Commission adopted the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of Amendment of Parts 73 and 74 of the Commissions Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power Television Translator, and Television Booster Stations and to Amend Rules for Digital Class A Television Stations, MB Docket No. 03-185, FCC 10-172 (LPTV Digital Transition FNPRM). This document contains rules and policies for low power television stations (LPTV) to transition from analog to digital broadcasting. Due to the Commission proposing these rules and policies to effectuate the low power digital transition, the LPTV Digital Transition NPRM proposes a new PRA burdens on licensees. The new proposed policy contains an information collection requirement as follows: LPTV Digital Transition Consumer Education Information. The Commission proposes to require, where technically feasible, stations in the low power television services to provide notice of their upcoming digital transition to their viewers.
