broadcasting. Most low-power television or translator stations extend 
the service area of a full-power television station by receiving the 
full-power station's off-air signal and then rebroadcasting the 
programming on another channel. After the full-power television station

television station must be able to receive the full-power station's 
digital off-air signal.
    The Act directs NTIA to administer a program through which an 
eligible low-power television or translator station may receive 
compensation toward the cost of the purchase of a digital-to-analog 
conversion device that enables the conversion of the incoming digital 
signal of its corresponding full-power television station to analog 
format for transmission on the station's analog channels.
    The application makes possible the required review process for 
selecting applicants are funded.
    Affected Public: Business or for-profit organizations; not-for-
profit institutions; individuals or households; state, local, or tribal 
government.

    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
