agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0874.

Protection Act, Slamming Complaints, RDAs and Communications

profit entities; Not for profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 336,004 respondents; 336,004

1934, as amended (the Act).
    Total Annual Burden: 84,012 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue 
to the extent that individuals and households provide personally 
identifiable information, which is covered under the 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-act-information#systems.

Assessment (PIA) on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy-Impact-Assessment.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.

Federal Communications Commission.
