MB Docket No. 07-91
ERRATUM
Released: January 7, 2008
By the Chief, Media Bureau:
1. On December 31, 2007, the Commission released the Report and Order (FCC 07-228) in the 
above-captioned proceeding.  This Erratum converts old paragraph 193 to an indented quote, adds a third 
sentence to new paragraph 193, and corrects paragraph numbering.  Specifically, this Erratum corrects 
paragraphs 192-194 to read as follows: 
“192. In 2004, the Second DTV Periodic Report and Order extended the V-Chip requirements 
to DTV tuners which are sold without an associated display device, such as analog-to-digital converter 
boxes, DVD recorders, and other nondisplay devices with DTV tuners.  In addition, the Second DTV 
Periodic Report and Order adopted measurement criteria associated with the 16:9 aspect ratio for devices 
that include a display.  Specifically, the Second DTV Periodic Report and Order provided:
Additionally, we are adopting our proposal to apply v-chip rules to digital television receivers 
with displays in the 16:9 aspect ratio that are 7.8 inches or greater in height. Furthermore, we are 
requiring that v-chip technology be included in all digital television receivers with integrated 4:3 
displays measuring at least 13 inches diagonally.  Similar to our requirements for closed caption 
capabilities in digital television receivers, the rules will also be applicable to DTV tuners which 
are sold without an associated display device.577
“193. The Commission, however, did not make the corresponding revisions to section 
15.120(b) as codified in the CFR to reflect these changes. We now make this adjustment to the codified 
rule to reflect the revision adopted in 2004.  We also correct the rule reference to “diameter,” which 
should have been “measured diagonally” in the rules to conform with the description adopted in the V-
Chip Order (Technical Requirements to Enable Blocking of Video Programming Based on Program 
Ratings, 13 FCC Rcd 11248 (1998)).  
“194. These changes are permitted because they simply conform the codified rule to the rule 
amendment adopted by the Commission in the Second DTV Periodic Report and Order after notice and 
comment. Therefore, we find “good cause” under Section 553 of the APA for making this conforming 
change because additional notice and comment is unnecessary.578”
  
577 19 FCC Rcd 18279, 18348 (emphasis added).
578 See 47 U.S.C.  § 553(b). Cf., Federal Express Corp. v. Mineta, 373 F.3d 112, 120 (D.C.Cir. 2004) (agency was 
found to have satisfied the notice and comment requirements of the APA where it provided an opportunity to 
comment before adopting the final rule and requiring the agency to take further comments would serve no useful 
purpose).

2. This Erratum also corrects revised rule Section 15.120(b) in item 3 (on page 101) of Appendix B 
of the Report and Order by replacing the words “in diameter” with “measured diagonally.”  Specifically, 
this Erratum corrects the rule to read as follows: 
“(b) Effective January 1, 2000, all TV broadcast receivers as defined in section 15.3(w) of this 
chapter, including personal computer systems meeting that definition, with picture screens 33 cm 
(13 in) or larger, measured diagonally, or with displays in the 16:9 aspect ratio that are 19.8 cm 
(7.8 in) or greater in height and digital television receivers without an associated display device
shipped in interstate commerce or manufactured in the United States shall comply with the 
provisions of paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section.”
