quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid Office of

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:

that individuals and households 

provide personally identifiable

FCC’s updated system of records notice 

(SORN), FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal 

Complaints, Inquiries and Requests for 

Dispute Assistance.’’ As required by the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 

Commission also published a SORN, 

FCC/CGB–1 ‘‘Informal Complaints, 

Inquiries, and Requests for Dispute 

Assistance,’’ in the Federal Register on 

August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48152) which 

became effective on September 24, 2014. 

It may be reviewed at https://

www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-actinformation#systems. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: The FCC 

completed a Privacy Impact Assessment 

(PIA) on June 28, 2007. It may be 

reviewed at http://www.fcc.gov/omd/ 

privacyact/Privacy-ImpactAssessment.html. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

consolidated all of the FCC informal 

consumer complaint intake into an 

online consumer complaint portal, 

which allows the Commission to better 

manage the collection of informal 

consumer complaints. Informal 

consumer complaints consist of 

informal consumer complaints, 

inquiries and comments. This revised 

information collection requests OMB 

approval for the addition of a layer of 

consumer reported complaint 

information related to the FCC’s 

disability accessibility requirements for 

apparatus designed to receive, play 

back, or record video programming to be 

equipped with built-in closed caption 

decoder circuitry or capability designed 

to display closed-captioned video 

programming. The information 

collection burdens associated with these 

complaints is being transferred from 

OMB Control Number 3060–1162 

(Closed Captioning of Video 

Programming Delivered Using internet 

Protocol, and Apparatus Closed Caption 

Requirements) to OMB Control Number 

3060–0874 to enable consumers to file 

complaints related to the Commission’s 

apparatus closed caption requirements 

through the Commission’s online 

complaint portal.
