  • which decoders look for information where broadcasters have not put the information? We seek comment on whether we should adopt the provisions of the ATSC A/65A standard that require all digital television broadcasters to place the caption service descriptor in the PSIP. If we do so, how would this requirement interact with the requirements of EIA-708-B, Section 79.1 and Section 15.122? 4. V-Chip We seek comment on whether the Commission needs to do more to ensure that v-chip functionality is available in the digital world. For example, the ATSC A/65A terrestrial broadcast standard requires that v-chip program rating information, when present, to be in the PSIP, and makes optional the presence of the rating information in the program stream.

  • the captioning requirements. The TDI Petition contains the results of a recent nationwide sampling of locally broadcast digital television programming, conducted by WGBH's National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM), which showed that 35% of local digital television stations failed to provide any closed captioning and only 20% provided captions in compliance with the Commission's caption decoder rules (47 CFR § 15.122). TDI proposes the establishment of punitive measures, such as specific fines, for noncompliance with the Commission's captioning rules. TDI states that ``[s]uch a forfeiture would create a financial incentive for video programming distributors or providers to comply with the Commission's benchmarks,'' and proposes an $8,000 per violation base forfeiture amount for violations of the captioning benchmark requirements, with each hour

Therefore, while we propose to remove the screen-size limitation entirely from Section 15.119 and Section 15.122 of the Commission's rules, and to not include any screen size limitation in our new rules, we address the issue of achievability below. Additionally, the CVAA provides that ``any apparatus or class of apparatus that are display-only video monitors with no playback capability are exempt from the requirements'' to display or render captions and we subsequently propose adopting this exception
