jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 148 / Thursday, July 31, 2008 / Notices 44745 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking sought 

comment, inter alia, on measures to 

assist consumers by shortening the 

complaint process to allow consumers 

to file complaints directly with the 

Commission, rather than requiring that 

they first file their complaints with the 

video programming distributor. The 

Closed Captioning Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking also sought comment on 

whether petitions for exemption from 

the closed captioning rules should be 

permitted (or required) to be filed 

electronically through the Commission’s 

Electronic Comment Filing System, and 

whether video programming distributors 

should be required to submit 

compliance reports to the Commission 

in cases where the types of video 

programming that they air are still 

subject to a phase-in period, or where 

the final required amount of captioning 

post phase-in (e.g., pre-rule 

programming) is not 100 percent. 

Furthermore, the Closed Captioning 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking sought 

comment on whether video 

programming distributors should be 

required to distribute contact 

information to their subscribers (if the 

video programming provider is a 

subscription service) and to place such 

information on their Web site, as well as 

providing it to the Commission for 

placement on its Web site.
