*Estimated Time Per Response:*.5 hours.

*Total Annual Cost:*                     N/A.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     The Consumer Information Bureau (CIB) handles informal complaints filed against carriers pursuant to sections (4)(I) and 208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 47 U.S.C. Sections 154(I), 208. Pursuant to the Commission's rules, informal complaints must be filed in writing and should contain, (a) the name, address and telephone number of the complainant, (b) the name of the carrier against which the complaint is made, (c) a complete statement of the facts tending to show that such carrier did or omitted to do anything in contravention of the Communications Act, and (d) the specific relief or satisfaction sought. 47 CFR section 1.716. The information sought in the Consumer Complaint For 475 (FCC Form 475) provides the CIB with complete information to process the complaints pursuant to the applicable rules. The completion of the FCC Form 475 is, however, voluntary. The revision to the existing FCC Form 475 is necessary because CIB now handles both common carrier wireline and wireless complaints. The existing FCC Form 475 does not provide for complaints filed against wireless carriers. The revised FCC Form 475 is more comprehensive in that it allows consumers to file complaints against either wireline or wireless carriers by using the same form.
