NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE
Adopted:  April 9, 2008 Released: April 10, 2008
By the Commission:
I. INTRODUCTION
1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”), we find that Best Buy Co., Inc. 
(“Best Buy”) apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 15.117(k) of the Commission's Rules 
(“Rules”)1 by failing to place the required Consumer Alert label immediately adjacent to and clearly 
associated with television receiving equipment that contains an analog broadcast television tuner but does 
not contain a digital broadcast television tuner (hereinafter “analog-only tuner”) that it displayed or 
offered for sale or rent.  We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended (“Act”),2 that Best Buy is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of two hundred eighty 
thousand dollars ($280,000).
II. BACKGROUND
2. Congress has established February 17, 2009 as the deadline for the end of analog 
transmissions for full power television stations.  The Commission is statutorily obligated to promote the 
orderly transition to digital television, “a critical step in the evolution of broadcast television.”3 As we 
stated previously, “[w]e are committed to ensuring the rapid completion of that transition in a way that 
delivers the greatest possible benefits to the viewing public.”4 As part of that commitment and in light of 
the upcoming deadline, we recently announced that “it is necessary and appropriate to require retailers to 
provide consumers with information regarding this transition date at the point of sale.”5 We reached this 
conclusion after determining that consumer electronics industry efforts had not adequately informed

consumers how analog-only television equipment purchased now will function when the transition to 
digital broadcasting ends.6
3. To ensure that consumers do not inadvertently buy analog-only television equipment 
without understanding that such devices will not be capable of receiving off-the-air television reception of 
digital signals after analog broadcasting ends unless connected to a digital-to-analog converter or a digital 
subscription service, we adopted rules requiring anyone that sells, offers for sale, or rents television 
receiving equipment that does not contain a digital television (“DTV”) tuner to display a Consumer Alert 
at the point of sale.7 This requirement also applies to the sale or rent of analog-only television receiving 
equipment via direct mail, catalog, or electronic means (e.g., the Internet).  These requirements are 
contained in Section 15.117(k) of the Rules, which became effective on May 25, 2007.8
4. Section 15.117(k)(3) of the Rules requires that the Consumer Alert contain the following 
language:
The Consumer Alert must be in a size of type large enough to be clear, conspicuous and readily legible, 
consistent with the dimensions of the equipment and the label.  The alert either must be printed on a 
transparent material and affixed to the screen, in a manner that is removable by the consumer and does 
not obscure the picture when displayed for sale, or displayed separately immediately adjacent to each 
television receiver offered for sale and clearly associated with the analog-only model to which it pertains.9  
In the case of other analog-only video devices that do not include a display (e.g., VCRs, DVD players), 
the Consumer Alert must be in a prominent location on the device, such as on the top or front, or 
displayed separately immediately adjacent to and clearly associated with the analog-only model to which 
it pertains.10  To the extent that any persons display or offer for sale or rent via direct mail, catalog, or 
electronic means analog-only television receiving equipment, they must prominently display the 
Consumer Alert as part of all advertisements or descriptions of such television receiving equipment, in 
clear and conspicuous print, and in close proximity to any images or descriptions of such equipment.11  
5. Immediately after the rule became effective, the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau began 
inspecting hundreds of stores throughout the country, as well as dozens of popular retailer websites, and

CONSUMER ALERT
This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after 
February 17, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation’s 
transition to digital broadcasting.  Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable 
and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.  For more 
information, call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY: 1-888-835-
5322) or visit the Commission’s digital television website at: www.dtv.gov.

observed many models of analog-only television receiving equipment on display without the required 
Consumer Alert labels. On May 31, 2007, the Enforcement Bureau issued a Citation to Best Buy for 
offering for sale television receiving equipment having an analog-only tuner without displaying the required 
Consumer Alert in close proximity.12 Between May 31 and June 11, 2007, the Enforcement Bureau 
conducted inspections at numerous stores and, based on those inspections, issued additional Citations to 
Best Buy for violations at its stores and its website.13 After affording Best Buy a reasonable opportunity to 
respond to the first Citation,14 agents from the Enforcement Bureau began inspecting numerous additional 
Best Buy stores on June 12, 2007 in various states and once again observed television receiving equipment 
with analog-only tuners on display without the required Consumer Alert labels in 18 Best Buy stores.15  
6. Under Section 503(b)(1) of the Act, any person who is determined by the Commission to 
have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or 
  
12 Best Buy, Inc., Citation No. C20073248003, (Enf. Bur. Atlanta Office, rel. May 31, 2007).     
13 See Attachment A for a list of the citations issued to Best Buy (collectively “Citations”).  In preparing the 
Citations, Enforcement Bureau staff relied on publicly available information, including retailer websites, to identify 
the television receiving equipment with analog-only tuners. Subsequently, Enforcement Bureau staff determined 
that the following Citations referred, in whole or in part, to erroneously identified equipment models: Citation No. 
C20073270001 (Toshiba model MD20H63); Citation No. C20073294014 (Samsung model DVD-VR357); Citation 
No. C20073294012 (Samsung model DVD-VR357, Sony model RDRGC330).  In light of this evidence, we hereby 
cancel the relevant portions of the above citations with respect to those models.  
14 On June 8, 2007, Best Buy responded to the first Citation.  See Letter from Robert A. Bodeau, corporate counsel 
for Best Buy to Douglas Miller, District Director, Atlanta Office, Enforcement Bureau, dated June 7, 2007
(“Citation Response”).  Best Buy subsequently filed responses to the other Citations.  See Letter from Robert A.

order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty.16 Section 
312(f)(1) of the Act defines willful as “the conscious and deliberate commission or omission of [any] act, 
irrespective of any intent to violate” the law.17 The legislative history to Section 312(f)(1) of the Act 
clarifies that this definition of willful applies to both Sections 312 and 503(b) of the Act18 and the 
Commission has so interpreted the term in imposing forfeitures pursuant to Section 503(b).19 The 
Commission may also assess a forfeiture for violations that are merely repeated, and not willful.20
“Repeated” means that the act was committed or omitted more than once, or lasts more than one day.21  
To impose such a forfeiture penalty, the Commission must issue a notice of apparent liability and the 
person against whom the notice has been issued must have an opportunity to show, in writing, why no 
such forfeiture penalty should be imposed.22 The Commission will then issue a forfeiture if it finds by a 
preponderance of the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule.23 As we set 
forth below, we conclude under this standard that Best Buy is apparently liable for forfeiture for its 
apparent willful and repeated violations of Section 15.117(k) of the Commission’s rules.
III. DISCUSSION
7. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Best Buy apparently willfully and repeatedly
violated Section 15.117(k) of the Rules by failing to display conspicuously and in close proximity to 
equipment with an analog-only tuner, in clear and conspicuous print, the required Consumer Alert label.  
Specifically, as detailed in Attachment B, agents and investigators from the Enforcement Bureau observed a 
number of different models of television receiving equipment having only an analog-only tuner on display 
in 18 Best Buy stores without the required Consumer Alert labels.24 Best Buy previously received 19 
Citations for this same type of conduct prior to the agents’ inspections.25

24 Attachment B lists the date(s) of the Enforcement Bureau inspections, the analog-only models identified in 
violation of Section 15.117(k), as well as the Best Buy store(s) involved.
25 Section 503(b)(5) states that no forfeiture liability shall be determined against any person who does not hold a 
license, permit, certificate, or other authorization issued by the Commission unless, prior to issuance of any Notice 
of Apparent Liability, such person is “(A) sent a citation of the violation charged; (B) is given a reasonable 
opportunity for a personal interview with an official of the Commission at the field office of the Commission which 
is nearest to such person’s place of residence; and (C) subsequently engages in conduct of the type described in such 
citation.”  47 U.S.C. § 503(b)(5).  The violations discussed in this NAL are subject to forfeiture because we have 
issued the Citations and afforded Best Buy an opportunity for a personal interview or to submit a written response.  
See Attachment A and supra note 14 for 3 Citations cancelled in whole or in part.  To the extent that the television 
receiving models involved in this NAL differ from those listed in the Citations, no additional citations are necessary 
because the more recent apparent violations are “conduct of the type described” in the earlier Citations – violations 
of Section 15.117(k).  See HighTech CB Shop, Forfeiture Order, 20 FCC Rcd 12514, 12516 ¶ 9 (Enf. Bur. South 
Central Region 2005), recon. denied, 20 FCC Rcd 19269 (Enf. Bur. 2005).  In any event, the requirements of

8. Under Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act,26 we may assess an entity that is neither a common 
carrier, broadcast licensee or cable operator a forfeiture of up to $11,000 for each violation or each day of a 
continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation.  
In exercising such authority, we must take into account “the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the 
violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to 
pay, and such other matters as justice may require.”27  
9. The Commission’s Forfeiture Policy Statement28 and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not 
establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the analog-only tuner labeling requirements.  In adopting 
the Consumer Alert labeling requirements, the Commission stated that “[a]ccurate communication of this 
impending change is a highly material disclosure for consumers contemplating the purchase of a 
television.” 29 We also noted that it is a matter of public safety for consumers who rely on analog-only 
televisions to obtain critical emergency information.30  
10. Similar issues arose regarding labeling requirements for wireless hearing aid-compatible 
handsets.  In those cases, the Enforcement Bureau established a base forfeiture amount of $8,000 per 
handset model that failed to comply with the labeling requirements.31 The labeling requirements for 
wireless hearing aid-compatible handsets and the analog-only tuner labeling requirements both serve the 
important goal of ensuring that consumers have access to necessary information.  In light of the 
similarities in these labeling requirements, we conclude that a $8,000 base forfeiture amount per unlabeled 
model or device in each store where Bureau agents and investigators observed a violation is appropriate for 
apparent violations of Section 15.117(k).32  
11. We find that, beginning on June 12, 2007, as detailed in Attachment B, even after receiving 
the Citations warning of violations in its stores across the country, Best Buy displayed numerous different 
models of equipment with an analog-only tuner in 18 stores without the required Consumer Alert label.  As 
a result, Best Buy continued to market television receiving equipment to consumers without adequately

Section 503(b)(5) do not apply to Best Buy, which is a Commission licensee and therefore subject to forfeiture 
under Section 503(b)(2) of the Act without first receiving notice via a citation.  See Call Sign WPSH642.
26 47 U.S.C. § 503(b)(2)(D).  The Commission twice amended Section 1.80(b)(3) of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 
1.80(b)(3), to increase the maximum forfeiture amounts, in accordance with the inflation adjustment requirements 
contained in the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 28 U.S.C. § 2461.  See Amendment of Section 1.80 of 
the Commission’s Rules and Adjustment of Forfeiture Maxima to Reflect Inflation, Order, 15 FCC Rcd 18221 (2000) 
(adjusting the maximum statutory amounts from $10,000/$75,000 to $11,000/$87,500); Amendment of Section 1.80 
of the Commission’s Rules and Adjustment of Forfeiture Maxima to Reflect Inflation, Order, 19 FCC Rcd 10945 
(2004) (adjusting the maximum statutory amounts from $11,000/$87,500 to $11,000/$97,500).

warning that the equipment contained an analog-only television receiver.  Those consumers may not learn of 
their equipment’s limitations until the analog-only devices cease to receive over-the-air television signals, 
long after any period for returning the equipment has expired.  This scenario is precisely the outcome that 
our rule was intended to prevent.33 Applying the analysis set forth above to the facts of this case, we 
conclude that Best Buy is apparently liable for a $280,000 base forfeiture.34

that they cannot receive television broadcasts over-the-air on an analog-only television purchased today if they 
choose to discontinue subscription service or their cable or satellite service is terminated by disaster, service 
disruption, or for non-payment of their bills.”  Second DTV Periodic Report and Order at ¶ 12.
