FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Privacy Act System of Records 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice; one new Privacy Act 

system of records. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or Commission or 

Agency) proposes to add a new system 

of records, FCC/CGB–4, ‘‘Internet-based 

Telecommunications Relay Service-User 

Registration Database (ITRS–URD) 

Program.’’ The FCC’s Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) will 

use the information contained in the 

ITRS–URD Program’s system of records 

to cover the personally identifiable 

information (PII) that is collected, used, 

stored, and maintained as part of the 

management, operations, and functions 

of the ITRS–URD’s Program’s 

database(s). The ITRS–URD Program, 

which is administered under contract 

with the FCC, is a database registration 

system that provides a necessary 

interface for multiple services, which 

include, but are not limited to Internetbased Telecommunications Relay 

Services (ITRS) such as VRS,1 IP Relay,2

and IPCTS,3 for individuals who are 

deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing, and/or 

have speech disabilities, and who are 

eligible under the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (ADA) and who have 

registered to subscribe to/participate in 

the ITRS–URD Program’s services. 

These various forms of 

Telecommunications Relay Services 

(TRS) allow persons who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, and/or have a 

speech disability to engage in 

communication by wire or radio with 

one or more individuals, in a manner 

that is functionally equivalent to the 

ability of a hearing individual who does 

not have a speech disability to 

communicate using voice 

communication services by wire or 

radio. 

DATES: Submit written comments 

concerning this new system of records 

on or before March 11, 2015. The 

Administrator, Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), which 

has oversight responsibility under the 

Privacy Act to review the system of 

records, and Congress may submit 

comments on or before March 23, 2015. 

The proposed new system of records 

will become effective on March 23, 2015 

unless the FCC receives comments that 

require a contrary determination. The 

Commission will publish a document in 

the Federal Register notifying the 

public if any changes are necessary. As 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 

Privacy Act, the FCC is submitting 

reports on this proposed new system to 

OMB and Congress.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and 

(e)(11), this document sets forth notice 

of the proposed new system of records 

maintained by the FCC. This notice is a 

summary of the more detailed 

information about the proposed new 

system of records, which may be 

obtained or viewed pursuant to the 

contact and location information given 

above in the ADDRESSES section. The 

purpose for establishing this new 

system of records, FCC/CGB–4, ‘‘ITRS– 

URD,’’ is to cover the PII of individuals 

in the ITRS–URD Program’s database(s) 

who are eligible to register to subscribe 

to/participate in the ITRS–URD 

Program’s services. The ITRS–URD 

Program, which is administered under 

contract with the FCC, is a database 

registration system that provides a 

necessary interface for multiple 

services, including, but not limited to 

ITRS, individuals who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, and/or have 

speech disabilities and who are eligible 

under the ADA. These various 

Telecommunications Relay Services 

allow people with hearing or speech 

disabilities (or who are deaf-blind) to 

place and receive calls. 

This notice meets the requirement 

documenting the proposed new system 

of records that is to be added to the 

systems of records that the FCC 

maintains, and provides the public, 

OMB, and Congress with an opportunity 

to comment.

F, Telecommunications Relay Services 

and Related Customer Premises 

Equipment for Persons With Disabilities 

(VRS Reform Order). 

PURPOSE(S): 

The ITRS–URD Program, which is 

administered under contract with the 

FCC, is a database registration system 

that provides a necessary interface for 

multiple services, which include, but 

are not limited to VRS, IP Relay, and 

IPCTS, for individuals who are deaf, 

deaf-blind, hard of hearing, and/or have 

speech disabilities, and who are eligible 

under the ADA to register to participate 

in/subscribe to one or more of the ITRS– 

URD Program’s multiple services; are 

registered and currently receiving ITRS– 

URD Program services; and/or are 

minors whose status makes them 

eligible for a parent or guardian to 

register them to participate in/subscribe 

to the ITRS–URD Program’s services. 

The ITRS–URD Program system of 

records will cover the PII that is 

collected, used, stored, and maintained 

in this ITRS–URD Program’s database(s), 

which is operated by the ITRS–URD 

Program’s administrator on behalf of the 

FCC. This PII includes: 

1. The information that is used to 

determine whether an individual who is 

applying for the ITRS–URD Program’s 

services is eligible to register to 

participate in/subscribe to the ITRS– 

URD Program’s services. 

2. The information that the ITRS–URD 

Program’s administrator uses to 

determine whether information with 

respect to its registered users already in 

the ITRS–URD Program’s database(s) is 

correct and complete. These ITRS–URD 

Program’s VRS providers must furnish 

the ITRS–URD Program’s administrator 

with a subscriber list containing PII that 

includes the individual’s full name 

(first, middle, and last names), parent or 

guardian’s name of the registered 

subscriber who is a minor, full 

residential address, date of birth, last 

four digits of social security number (or 

alternative proof of identification for 

those who do not have a social security 

number), ten digit telephone number(s) 

assigned in the TRS number directory 

and associated URI information, user’s 

registered location information for 

emergency calling purposes, eligibility 

certification (digital copy) for ITRS– 

URD Program’s service(s) and date 

obtained from provider, VRS provider 

and ITRS–URD Program’s initiation date 

and termination date, ITRS–URD 

Program support received per month, 

date of the provision of ITRS–URD 

Program support (if applicable), ITRS– 

URD Program user password, and date 

on which user last placed a point-topoint or relay call, call detail records 

registry for all forms of ITRS–URD 

Program’s services, including CDRs 

supporting requests for reimbursement 

of VRS, IPCTS, and IP Relay service, 

monitoring and reporting information 

on data abnormalities, errors, and 

potential sources of fraud subscriber; 

3. The information that the ITRS–URD 

Program’s administrator will use to 

implement a system for automated 

validation of the registration 

information that has been submitted and 

ensure that the authorized VRS 

providers are unable to register 

individuals who do not pass the 

identification verification check 

conducted through the ITRS–URD 

Program. The ITRS–URD Program’s 

Third Party contractor and 

subcontractors will establish the 

verification protocol to ensure that each 

individual has proven his/her eligibility 

to use the service with their desired 

default VRS provider; 

4. The information VRS providers 

must request to validate each individual 

who seeks to register that he/she is an 

actual person living or visiting in the 

United States; 

5. The information for a user signed 

up with multiple providers for different 

VRS services. Each company acting as 

the default provider will have access to 

their users’ information as it pertains 

only to their service; and 

6. The information that is contained 

in the records of the inquiries that the 

ITRS–URD Program’s VRS providers 

will make available to the ITRS–URD 

Program’s administrator’s Third Party 

contractor and subcontractors who 

manages the database [verification/call/ 

service center(s)] to verify that 

individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind, 

hard of hearing, and/or have speech 

disabilities and who are eligible under 

the ADA to participate in the ITRS–URD 

Program’s services. 

Records in the ITRS–URD Program’s 

system of records are available for 

public inspection after redaction of 

information that could identify the 

individual ITRS–URD Program’s 

participant/subscriber, such as the 

individual’s name(s), date of birth, last 

four digits of social security number 

(including alternative proof of 

identification or other unique ID for 

those individuals who do not have a 

social security number), tribal ID 

number, telephone number(s), 

emergency location, and/or other PII 

that validates their participation in this 

program. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Information about individuals in this 

system of records may routinely be 

disclosed under the following 

conditions. The FCC will determine 

whether disclosure of the records is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected in each of 

these cases. 

1. FCC Program Management—A 

record from this system may be accessed 

and used by the FCC and the ITRS–URD 

Program Administrator and Program 

contractor’s employees (including 

employees of subcontractors) to conduct 

official duties associated with the 

management and operation of the ITRS– 

URD Program, as directed by the 

Commission. The FCC may routinely 

have access to the information in the 

ITRS–URD Program’s database(s), which 

includes, but is not limited to audits, 

oversight, and/or investigations of the 

ITRS–URD Program’s database(s) for the 

purposes of managing and/or 

eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in 

the ITRS services and ITRS–URD 

Program. The information may be 

shared with the FCC’s Enforcement 

Bureau (EB), Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB), 

Office of Managing Director (OMD), 

Office of Inspector General (OIG), 

Telecommunications Relay Services 

(TRS) Fund Administrator and Program 

contractor(s) (and subcontractors), and 

the FCC TRS Fund Program 

Administrator, as necessary; 

2. Third Party Contractors—A record 

from this system may be disclosed to an 

employee of a third-party contractor 

(and subcontractors, as required) to 

conduct the verification process that 

allows the ITRS–URD Program’s 

administrator to determine the accuracy 

of the PII provided by the ITRS–URD 

Program’s registrants to the system of 

records, i.e., when an employee of a 

third-party contractor (and/or 

subcontractor), responsible for 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 26 / Monday, February 9, 2015 / Notices 6965 

management registration and fraud 

prevention, verifies the eligibility of the 

participant/registrant/subscriber; 

3. State Agencies and Authorized 

Entities— A record from this system 

may be disclosed to designated state 

agencies and other authorized entities, 

which include, but are not limited to 

state public utility commissions, and 

their agents, as is consistent with 

applicable Federal and State laws, to 

administer the ITRS–URD Program in 

that state and to perform other 

management and oversight duties and 

responsibilities. When necessary, this 

may include the transfer of data to and/ 

or from the Third Party Contractor (and 

subcontractors) to determine or verify 

the accuracy of the PII provided by the 

ITRS–URD Program’s registrants; 

4. FCC Enforcement Actions—When a 

record in this system involves an 

informal complaint filed with the FCC 

alleging a violation of FCC Rules and 

Regulations by an ITRS–URD Program’s 

applicant/subscriber/registrant, 

licensee, certified or regulated entity or 

an unlicensed person or entity, the 

complaint may be served to the alleged 

violator for a response through the 

FCC’s normal course of complaint 

handling process. When an order or 

other Commission-issued document that 

includes consideration of an informal 

complaint or complaints is issued by the 

FCC for resolution or to enforce FCC 

Rules and Regulations, the 

complainant’s name may be made 

public in that order or letter document. 

Where a complainant in filing his or her 

complaint explicitly requests that 

confidentiality of his or her name from 

public disclosure, the Commission will 

endeavor to protect such information 

from public disclosure. Complaints that 

contain requests for confidentiality may 

be dismissed if the Commission 

determines that the request impedes the 

Commission’s ability to investigate and/ 

or resolve the complaint; 

5. Congressional Investigations and 

Inquiries—A record from this system 

may be disclosed to either House of 

Congress, or, to the extent of matter 

within its jurisdiction, any committee or 

subcommittee thereof, for the purposes 

of an official Congressional 

investigation, including but not limited 

to information concerning ITRS and the 

ITRS–URD Program’s services, ITRS– 

URD Program’s Administrator (and 

Third Party Contractors and 

subcontractors) and ITRS–URD Program 

participants/subscribers/registrants, 

and/or in response to an inquiry made 

by an individual to the Congressional 

office for the individual’s own records; 

6. Government-wide Program 

Management and Oversight—When 

requested by the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA), the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 

the General Services Administration 

(GSA), and/or the Government 

Accountability Office (GAO) for the 

purpose of records management studies 

conducted under authority of 44 U.S.C. 

2904 and 2906 (such disclosure(s) shall 

not be used to make a determination 

about individuals); when the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) is contacted 

in order to obtain that department’s 

advice regarding disclosure obligations 

under the Freedom of Information Act; 

or when the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) is contacted in order to 

obtain that office’s advice regarding 

obligations under the Privacy Act; 

7. ADA Eligibility Verification Data— 

A record from this system may be 

disclosed to the appropriate Federal 

and/or State authorities (including 

transfers of PII data to/from the ITRS 

Program’s Administrators, contractors, 

and subcontractors, as required) for the 

purposes of verifying whether 

individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind, 

hard of hearing and/or have speech 

disabilities are eligible under the ADA 

to register to participate in/subscribe to 

the ITRS–URD Program; 

8. Law Enforcement and 

Investigation—Where there is an 

indication of a violation or potential 

violation of a statute, regulation, rule, or 

order, records from this system may be 

shared with appropriate federal, state, or 

local authorities either for purposes of 

obtaining additional information 

relevant to a FCC decision or for 

referring the record for investigation, 

enforcement, or prosecution by another 

(federal or state) agency to investigate 

program participation by VRS providers; 

9. Adjudication and Litigation— 

Where by careful review, the Agency 

determines that the records are both 

relevant and necessary to litigation and 

the use of such records is deemed by the 

Agency to be for a purpose that is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the Agency collected the records, these 

records may be used by a court or 

adjudicative body in a proceeding 

when: (a) The Agency or any component 

thereof; or (b) any employee of the 

Agency in his or her official capacity; or 

(c) any employee of the Agency in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

Agency has agreed to represent the 

employee; or (d) the United States 

Government is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation; 

10. Department of Justice—A record 

from this system of records may be 

disclosed to the Department of Justice 

(DOJ) or in a proceeding before a court 

or adjudicative body when: 

(a) The United States, the 

Commission, a component of the 

Commission, or, when represented by 

the government, an employee of the 

Commission is a party to litigation or 

anticipated litigation or has an interest 

in such litigation, and 

(b) The Commission determines that 

the disclosure is relevant or necessary to 

the litigation; and 

11. Breach of Federal Data—A record 

from this system may be disclosed to 

appropriate agencies, entities (including 

the ITRS–URD Program’s administrator 

and its employees), and persons when: 

(1) The Commission suspects or has 

confirmed that the security or 

confidentiality of information in the 

system of records has been 

compromised; (2) the Commission has 

determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

there is a risk of harm to economic or 

property interests, identity theft or 

fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by the 

Commission or another agency or entity) 

that rely upon the compromised 

information; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the Commission’s 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed compromise and prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm.

maintain the information in the ITRS– 

URD Program’s databases in accordance 

with the requirements of the ITRS 

Order. The ITRS Order states that: 

1. The data in the ITRS–URD 

Program’s database(s) (including the 

information maintained by the Third 

Party Contractor and subcontractors 

who perform the verification processes) 

are the property of the Federal 

Government, but will be treated as 

propriety information of the contractor 

as the default provider; and 

2. A log of all actions (queries and 

modifications) shall be maintained for a 

period of no less than five years (or for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Administrative Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 3084–0047. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The currently approved 

information collection consists of: (a) 

Applications to the Commission, 

including applications and notices 

contained in the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice (primarily Parts I, II, and IV); 

(b) the FTC’s consumer complaint 

systems; and (c) the FTC’s program 

evaluation activities. 

On November 14, 2014, the 

Commission sought comment on the 

information collection requirements 

pertaining to the Commission’s 

administrative activities. 79 FR 68245. 

No comments were received. As 

required by OMB regulations, 5 CFR 

part 1320, the FTC is providing this 

second opportunity for public comment. 

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 

222,851 hours (150 + 222,622 + 64 + 

15). 

(a) Applications to the Commission, 

including applications and notices 

supported pursuant to the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice: 150 hours. 

Most applications to the Commission 

generally fall within the ‘‘law 

enforcement’’ exception to the PRA and 

are mostly found in Part III (Rules of 

Practice for Adjudicative Proceedings) 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. 

See 16 CFR 3.1–3.83. Nonetheless, there 

are various applications and notices to 

the Commission contained in other 

rules (generally in Parts I, II, and IV of 

the Commission’s Rule of Practice). For 

example, staff estimates that the FTC 

annually receives approximately 15 

requests for clearance submitted by 

former FTC employees in order to 

participate in certain matters and 

screening affidavits submitted by 

partners or legal or business associates 

of former employees pursuant to Rule 

4.1, 16 CFR 4.1. There are also 

procedures set out in Rule 4.11(e) for 

agency review of outside requests for 

Commission employee testimony, 

through compulsory process or 

otherwise, and requests for material 

pursuant to compulsory process in cases 

or matters to which the agency is not a 

party. Rule 4.11(e) requires that a person 

who seeks such testimony or material 

submit a statement in support of the 

request. Staff estimates that agency 

personnel receive approximately 10 

requests per year. Other types of 

applications and notices are either 

infrequent or difficult to quantify. 

Nonetheless, in order to cover any 

potential ‘‘collection of information’’ for 

which separate clearance has not been 

sought, staff conservatively projects the 

FTC will receive 75 applications or 

notices per year. Staff estimates each 

respondent will incur, on average, 

approximately 2 hours of burden to 

submit an application or notice, 

resulting in a cumulative annual total of 

150 burden hours (75 applications or 

notices × 2 burden hours). 

Annual Cost Burden 

Using the burden hours estimated 

above, staff estimates that the total 

annual labor cost, based on an estimated 

average of $115/hour for executives’ and 

attorneys’ wages, would be 

approximately $17,250 (150 hours × 

$115).1 There are no capital, start-up, 

operation, maintenance, or other similar 

costs to respondents. 

(b) Complaint Systems: 222,622 

annual hours. 

Consumer Response Center (CRC) 

Consumers can submit complaints 

about fraud and other practices to the 

FTC’s Consumer Response Center by 

telephone or through an online 

complaint form at the FTC’s Web site. 

Telephone complaints and inquiries to 

the FTC are answered both by FTC staff 

and contractors. These telephone 

counselors ask for the same information 

that consumers would enter on the 

applicable forms available on the FTC’s 

Web site. The FTC also hosts a second 

online complaint form called 

econsumer.gov. This form accepts crossborder complaints from consumers 

through the econsumer.gov Web site 

and transmits them into the Consumer 

Sentinel Network. For telephone 

inquiries and complaints, the FTC staff 

estimates that it takes 5.9 minutes per 

call to gather information, and an 

estimated 5.3 minutes for consumers to 

enter a complaint online. The burden 

estimate conservatively assumes that the 

entire phone call is devoted to 

collecting information from consumers, 

although frequently telephone 

counselors devote a portion of the call 

to providing requested information to 

consumers. 

As of 2014, the FTC now supports 

web chat for its online complaint 

process. Web chat allows consumers to 

communicate in real time using an 

easily accessible web interface to obtain 

technical support for the online 

complaint process. This feature will
