is contained in Sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), and 

719 of the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 

154(j), and 620. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,850 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 (PII), which is covered 

under the FCC’s system of records 

notice (SORN), FCC/CGB–3, ‘‘National 

Deaf-Blind Equipment distribution 

Program.’’ As required by the Privacy 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also 

published a SORN, FCC/CGB–3 

‘‘National Deaf-Blind Equipment 

Distribution Program,’’ in the Federal 

Register on January 19, 2012 (77 FR 

2721) which became effective on 

February 28, 2012. Also, the 

Commission is in the process of 

preparing the new privacy impact 

assessment (PIA) related to the PII 

covered by these information 

collections, as required by OMB’s 

Memorandum M–03–22 (September 26, 

2003) and by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552a. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The 

Commission is in the process of 

preparing the new privacy impact 

assessment (PIA) related to the PII 

covered by these information 

collections, 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: On April 6, 2011, in 

document FCC 11–56, the Commission 

released a Report and Order adopting 

final rules to implement section 719 of 

the Communications Act of 1934 (the 

Act), as amended, which was added to 

the Act by the ‘‘Twenty-First Century 

Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010’’ (CVAA). See 

Public Law 111–260, § 105. Section 719 

of the Act authorizes up to $10 million 

annually from the Interstate 

Telecommunications Relay Service 

Fund (TRS Fund) to support eligible 

programs that distribute equipment 

designed to make telecommunications 

service, Internet access service, and 

advanced communications accessible by 

low-income individuals who are deafblind. Specifically, the rules adopted in 

document FCC 11–56 established the 

National Deaf-Blind Equipment 

Distribution Program (NDBEDP) as a 

pilot program. The rules adopted in 

document FCC 11–56 have the 

following information collection 

requirements: 

(a) State equipment distribution 

programs, other public programs, and 

private entities may submit applications 

for NDBEDP certification to the 

Commission. For each state, the 

Commission certifies a single program 

as the sole authorized entity to 

participate in the NDBEDP and receive 

reimbursement from the TRS Fund. 

(b) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must submit certain programrelated data electronically to the 

Commission, as instructed by the 

NDBEDP Administrator, every six 

months, commencing with the start of 

the pilot program. 

(c) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must retain all records 

associated with the distribution of 

equipment and provision of related 

services under the NDBEDP for two 

years following the termination of the 

pilot program. 

(d) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must obtain verification that 

NDBEDP applicants meet the definition 

of an individual who is deaf-blind. 

(e) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must obtain verification that 

NDBEDP applicants meet the income 

eligibility requirements. 

(f) Programs certified under the 

NDBEDP are reimbursed for the cost of 

equipment that has been distributed to 

eligible individuals and authorized 

related services, up to the state’s 

funding allotment under this program. 

Within 30 days after the end of each sixmonth period of the Fund Year, each 

program certified under the NDBEDP 

pilot must submit documentation that 

supports its claim for reimbursement of 

the reasonable costs of equipment and 

related services. 

On March 20, 2012 in document DA 

12–430, the Commission released an 

Order to conditionally waive the 

requirement in section (f), above, for 

NDBEDP certified programs to submit 

reimbursement claims at the end of each 

six-month period of the TRS Fund Year 

to permit certified programs to submit 

reimbursement claims as frequently as 

monthly. Each certified program that 

wishes to take advantage of this waiver 

to elect a monthly or quarterly 

reimbursement schedule, must notify 

the TRS Fund Administrator of its 

election at the start of each Fund Year, 

and must maintain that schedule for the 

duration of the Year.

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid OMB

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,445 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: The requirements 

contained in 47 CFR 80.59 of the 

Commission’s rules are necessary to 

implement the provisions of Section 

362(b) of the Communications Act of 

934, as amended, which require the 

Commission to inspect the radio 

installation of large cargo ships and 

certain passenger ships at least once a 

year to ensure that the radio installation 

is in compliance with the requirements 

of the Communications Act. 

Further, section 80.59(d) states that 

the Commission may, upon a finding 

that the public interest would be served, 

grant a waiver of the annual inspection 

required by section 362(b) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, for a 

period of not more than 90 days for the 

sole purpose of enabling the United 

States vessel to complete its voyage and 

proceed to a port in the United States 

where an inspection can be held. An 

information application must be 

submitted by the ship’s owner, operator 

or authorized agent. The application 

must be submitted to the Commission’s 

District Director or Resident Agent in 

charge of the FCC office nearest the port 

of arrival at least three days before the 

ship’s arrival. The application must 

provide specific information that is in 

rule section 80.59. 

Additionally, the Communications 

Act requires the inspection of small 

passenger ships at least once every five 

years. 

The Safety Convention (to which the 

United States is a signatory) also 

requires an annual inspection. 

The Commission allows FCC-licensed 

technicians to conduct these 

inspections. FCC-licensed technicians 

certify that the ship has passed an 

inspection and issue a safety certificate. 

These safety certificates, FCC Forms 

806, 824, 827 and 829 indicate that the 

vessel complies with the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended and the Safety Convention. 

These technicians are required to 

provide a summary of the results of the 

inspection in the ship’s log that the 

inspection was satisfactory. 

Inspection certificates issued in 

accordance with the Safety Convention 

must be posted in a prominent and 

accessible place on the ship (third party 

disclosure requirement).
