Law 111–260, 124 Stat. 2751, and 

Sections 4(i), 4(j), 303, 330(b), 713, and

Total Annual Burden: 9,197 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $95,700. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

As required by OMB Memorandum M– 

03–22 (September 26, 2003), the FC 

completed a Privacy Impact Assessment 

(PIA) on June 28, 2007, that gives a full 

and complete explanation of how the 

FCC collects, stores, maintains, 

safeguards, and destroys the PII covered 

by these information collection 

requirements. The PIA may be reviewed 

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

Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Some assurances of confidentiality are 

being provided to the respondents. 

Parties filing petitions for exemption 

based on economic burden, requests for 

Commission determinations of technical 

feasibility and achievability, requests for 

purpose-based waivers, or responses to 

complaints alleging violations of the 

Commission’s rules may seek 

confidential treatment of information 

they provide pursuant to the 

Commission’s existing confidentiality 

rules. 

The Commission is not requesting 

that individuals who file complaints 

alleging violations of our rules 

(complainants) submit confidential 

information (e.g., credit card numbers, 

social security numbers, or personal 

financial information) to us. We request 

that complainants submit their names, 

addresses, and other contact 

information, which enables us to 

process complaints. Any use of this 

information is covered under the 

routine uses listed in the Commission’s 

SORN, FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal 

Complaints, Inquiries, and Requests for 

Dispute Assistance.’’ The PIA that the 

FCC completed on June 28, 2007 gives 

a full and complete explanation of how 

the FCC collects, stores, maintains, 

safeguards, and destroys PII, as required 

by OMB regulations and the Privacy 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The PIA may be 

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

privacyact/Privacy_Impact_

Assessment.html. The Commission will 

update the PIA to cover the PII collected 

related to this information collection to 

incorporate various revisions to it as a 

result of revisions to the SORN and as 

required by OMB’s Memorandum M– 

03–22 (September 26, 2003) and by the 

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

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

submitting this revised information 

collection to transfer certain information 

collection burdens associated with this 

OMB control number to another OMB 

control number. This change is being 

made to reflect the development of an 

online form for use by consumers in 

filing complaints with the Commission 

that allege violations of the FCC’s 

disability accessibility requirements. 

The online form is part of an 

information collection reflected in OMB 

control number 3060–0874. 

The Twenty-First Century 

Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) 

directed the Commission to revise its 

regulations to mandate closed 

captioning on IP-delivered video 

programming that was published or 

exhibited on television with captions 

after the effective date of the 

regulations. Accordingly, the 

Commission requires video 

programming owners (VPOs) to send 

program files to video programming 

distributors and providers (hereinafter 

VPDs) with required captions, and it 

requires VPDs to enable the rendering or 

pass through of all required captions to 

the end user. The CVAA also directed 

the Commission to revise its regulations 

to mandate that all apparatus designed 

to receive, play back, or record video 

programming be equipped with built-in 

closed caption decoder circuitry or 

capability designed to display closedcaptioned video programming, except 

that apparatus that use a picture screen 

that is 13 inches or smaller and 

recording devices must comply only if 

doing so is achievable. These rules are 

codified at 47 CFR 79.4 and 79.100– 

79.104.

grant or deny the application within 180
