The statutory authority for this information collection is contained in the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law 111-260, 124 Stat. 2751, and Sections 4(i), 4(j), 303(r), 303(u), 303(aa), 303(bb), and 716(g) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), 303(r), 303(u), 303(aa), 303(bb), and 617(g).                 

*Total Annual Burden:*                     22,198 hours.                 

*Total Annual Cost:*                     $70,500.                

*Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:*                     Confidentiality is an issue to the extent that individuals and households provide personally identifiable information. As required by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the FCC published a system of records notice (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. The Commission believes that it provides sufficient safeguards to protect the privacy of individuals who file complaints under 47 CFR 79.110.                

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for Informal Complaints and Inquiries was completed on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at:                     *http://www.fcc.gov/​omd/​privacyact/​Privacy_​Impact_​Assessment.html.*                     The Commission is in the process of updating the PIA to incorporate various revisions to it as a result of revisions to the SORN.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     On October 31, 2013, in document FCC 13-138, the Commission released a                     *Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking*, MB Docket Nos. 12-108, 12-107, FCC 13-138, adopting rules implementing portions of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) related to accessible user interfaces and video programming guides and menus. These rules are codified at 47 CFR 79.107, 79.108, 79.109, and 79.110. Pursuant to section 204 of the CVAA, the                     *Report and Order*                     adopts rules requiring digital apparatus to make appropriate built-in functions (                    *i.e.*, those used for the reception, play back, or display of video programming) accessible to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Pursuant to section 205 of the CVAA, the                     *Report and Order*                     adopts rules requiring navigation devices to make on-screen text menus and guides for the display or selection of multichannel video programming audibly accessible. The                     *Report and Order*                     also requires Section 204 digital apparatus to provide access to closed captioning and video description through a mechanism that is reasonably comparable to a button, key, or icon, and requires Section 205 navigation devices to provide access to closed captioning through a mechanism that is reasonably comparable to a button, key, or icon.
