Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

the Commission) invites the general 

public and other Federal Agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, the FCC

further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission may not conduct or

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control 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 control number. 

As part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork burdens, as required 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC 

invited the general public and other 

Federal Agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Comments are requested concerning: (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. Pursuant to the 

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 

2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific 

comment on how it might ‘‘further 

reduce the information collection 

burden for small business concerns with 

fewer than 25 employees.’’ 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0999. 

Title: Hearing Aid Compatibility 

Status Report and Section 20.19, 

Hearing Aid-Compatible Mobile 

Handsets (Hearing Aid Compatibility 

Act). 

Form Numbers: FCC Form 655 and 

FCC Form 855. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents: 934 

respondents; 934 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

13.9710921 hours per response 

(average). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and annual reporting requirements, 

recordkeeping requirements, and thirdparty disclosure requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 

157, 160, 201, 202, 214, 301, 303, 308, 

309(j), 310 and 610 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 13,049 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information requested in the reports and 

certifications may include confidential 

information. However, covered entities 

are allowed to request that such 

materials submitted to the Commission 

be withheld from public inspection. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit the revised information 

collection to OMB to obtain a full threeyear clearance. The changes being made 

to the information collect concern the 

Commission’s wireless hearing aid 

compatibility rules as they relate to the 

obligations of wireless handset 

manufacturers and wireless service 

providers to: (1) Label and disclose 

certain information related to handset 

packaging; (2) post certain information 

on their publicly accessible websites; 

and (3) file annual status reports and 

certifications. No changes are being 

made to the information collection as 

related to standards development and 

the approved number of estimated 

respondents and responses. 

The revisions to the information 

collection are necessitated by a Report 

and Order in WT Docket No. 20–3, FCC 

21–28, adopted on February 16, 2021. In 

this Report and Order, the Commission 

adopted a new technical standard for 

determining hearing aid compatibility 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 4, 2021 / Notices 41971 

between hearing aids and wireless 

handsets and made other corresponding 

and implementation changes. In 

addition, the Commission revised the 

information that handset manufacturers 

and service providers must include on 

hearing aid-compatible wireless handset 

package labels and in the related 

package inserts or user manuals. The 

Commission revised the labeling rule in 

order to streamline the rule and remove 

outdated requirements. The new rule 

requires that the package label provide 

the volume control capabilities of a 

hearing aid-compatible handset that 

meets volume control requirements, and 

it maintains the requirement that a 

hearing aid-compatible handset’s 

package label state that the handset is 

hearing aid-compatible. The new rule 

still requires hearing aid-compatible 

handsets to list the handset’s hearing 

aid-compatible rating, but moves the 

location in which it is required to be 

listed from the package label to the 

package insert or user manual. The 

other requirements for package inserts 

and user manuals have not changed, but 

the requirements have been reorganized 

to make them easier to follow. The 

Commission’s labeling revisions 

continue to allow consumers to access 

the information that they need to 

understand the hearing aid 

compatibility of handsets they are 

considering for purchase. At the same 

time, the labeling revisions give handset 

manufacturers and service providers 

flexibility in designing package labels 

and conveying supplemental 

information. 

The Report and Order also revised 

website posting requirements for 

handset manufacturers and service 

providers. The revised rule requires 

handset manufacturers and service 

providers to post to their publicly 

accessible websites the technical 

standard used to determine hearing aid 

compatibility in addition to the 

information that handset manufacturers 

and service providers are presently 

required to post. Since handset 

manufacturers and service providers are 

already required to include the 

technical standard used to determine 

hearing aid compatibility in package 

inserts or user manuals for hearing aidcompatible handsets, this change will 

not substantially impact the existing 

paperwork burden estimates that OMB 

has already approved for this 

information collection. Further, the 

website posting requirement has been 

revised to eliminate the requirement 

that service providers post to their 

publicly accessible websites the 

different levels of functionality of the 

hearing aid-compatible handsets that 

they offer to the public. This change 

offsets any burden added by the 

requirement that service providers post 

the technical standard used to 

determine hearing aid compatibility. 

Finally, the Report and Order 

addressed the status reporting and 

certification requirements for handset 

manufacturers and service providers. 

The Report and Order revised the dates 

that service providers must file their 

FCC Form 855 certifications and 

handset manufacturers must file their 

FCC Form 655 status reports. The forms 

were due January 15 and July 15 each 

year, respectfully, and now are due by 

January 31 and July 31. These changes 

were made to accommodate Federal 

holidays at the start of January and July 

and to make sure the forms contain 

information for the full preceding 12- 

month periods. The Commission uses 

these forms as the principal way to 

ensure compliance with its wireless 

hearing aid compatibility requirements. 

The Commission is also revising the 

forms to reflect the Commission’s 

current hearing aid compatibility de 

minimis provisions and to reflect the 

Commission’s new mailing address. 

The changes the Commission is 

making will not affect the number of 

respondents or responses, burden hours, 

or costs presently approved by OMB for 

this information collection. The 

Commission requests that OMB approve 

the proposed revisions to the currently 

approved information collection in 

order to implement the changes the 

Commission adopted in the Report and 

Order. These changes benefit handset 

manufacturers and service providers by 

reducing regulatory burden while 

continuing to ensure that the 

Commission can fulfill its statutory 

obligation to monitor compliance with 

its hearing aid compatibility rules and 

make more complete and accessible 

information available to consumers. All 

other paperwork burden requirements 

previously approved by OMB for this 

information collection remain 

unchanged.
