  We consider the problem of IR divergences of the action in the covariant
formulation of teleparallel gravity in asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. We
show that divergences are caused by inertial effects and can be removed by
adding an appropriate surface term, leading to the renormalized action. This
process can be viewed as a teleparallel analogue of holographic
renormalization. Moreover, we explore the variational problem in teleparallel
gravity and explain how the variation with respect to the spin connection
should be performed.
