Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 23 / Thursday, February 4, 2010 / Notices 5795 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for the information collection 

requirement is found at Sec. 225 [47 

U.S.C. 225] Telecommunications 

Services for Hearing–Impaired 

Individuals; The Americans with 

Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA), Public 

Law 101–336, 104 Stat. 327, 366–69, 

was enacted on July 26, 1990. 

Total Annual Burden: 112 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

An assurance of confidentiality is not 

offered because this information 

collection does not require the 

collection of personal identifiable 

information (PII) from individuals. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: In August 2003, the 

Commission released 

Telecommunications Relay Services and 

Speech–to–Speech Services for 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67, 

Declaratory Ruling, published at 68 FR 

55898, September 28, 2003. In the 

Declaratory Ruling, the Commission 

clarified that one–line captioned 

telephone voice carry over (VCO) 

service (CTS) is a type of 

telecommunications relay service (TRS) 

eligible for compensation from the 

Interstate TRS Fund (Fund). The 

Commission also clarified that certain 

TRS mandatory minimum standards do 

not apply to one–line CTS, and waived 

portions of 47 CFR 64.604(a)(1) and 

(a)(3). Parts of the waivers were 

contingent on the filing of annual 

reports with the Commission detailing 

providers’ compliance with the 

Declaratory Ruling, and any 

technological advances that might 

enable CTS providers to meet those 

waived standards. Among the standards 

not waived, however, was the 

requirement in 47 CFR 64.604(c)(1) that 

each provider maintain a log of 

consumer complaints that must be 

submitted to the Commission annually. 

In July 2005, the Commission released 

Telecommunications Relay Services and 

Speech–to–Speech Services for 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67 and 

CG Docket No. 03–123, Order, 

published at 70 FR 54294, September 

14, 2005, clarifying that two–line CTS is 

a type of TRS eligible for compensation 

from the Fund. In so doing, the 

Commission found that two–line CTS 

‘‘is simply a variation of’’ CTS that offers 

the same functionality while also 

offering the user additional features. 

Therefore, the same waivers and waiver 

reporting and complaint log obligations 

applicable to one–line CTS have also 

applied to two–line CTS. 

In January 2007, the Commission 

released Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech–to–Speech 

Services for Individuals with Hearing 

and Speech Disabilities; Internet–based 

Captioned Telephone Service, CG 

Docket No. 03–123, Declaratory Ruling, 

published at 72 FR 6960, February 14, 

2007, clarifying that Internet Protocol 

CTS (IP CTS) is a type of TRS eligible 

for compensation from the Fund when 

offered in compliance with the 

applicable TRS mandatory minimum 

standards. In so doing, the Commission 

waived or declared inapplicable some of 

these standards for IP CTS, consistent 

with waivers granted and other findings 

with respect to the provision of CTS and 

IP Relay, to the extent that IP CTS 

shares characteristics with both of those 

services. Like with those services, 

however, the Commission required IP 

CTS providers to file waiver reports for 

those waivers contingent on the filing of 

such reports, and the requirement to file 

complaint logs was not waived. 

This notice covers the information 

collection burdens associated with the 

filing of these waiver reports and 

complaint logs.

1The comment must be accompanied by an 

explicit request for confidential treatment, 

including the factual and legal basis for the request, 

and must identify the specific portions of the 

comment to be withheld from the public record. 

The request will be granted or denied by the 

Commission’s General Counsel, consistent with 

applicable law and the public interest. See FTC 

Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). 

Respondents: Business or other for– 

profit. 

Number of Respondents: 1,400 

respondents; 1,400 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours 

x 2 filings per year. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 151–154, 201, 202, 251–254, 

256, 271 and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting 

respondents to submit confidential 

information to the Commission. Any 

respondent who submits information to 

the Commission that they believe is 

confidential may request confidential 

treatment of such information under 47 

CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Need and Uses: The Commission will 

submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) during this comment 

period in order to obtain the three year 

clearance from them. There is no change 

to the Commission’s reporting and/third 

party disclosure requirements. 

The Commission asked whether 

physical collocation in remote terminals 

presents technical or security concerns 

and, if so, whether these concerns 

warrant modification of its collocation 

rules. The Commission asked whether 

incumbent LECs should be required to 

provide requesting carriers with 

demographic and other information 

regarding particular remote terminals 

similar to the information available 

regarding incumbent LEC central 

offices. Requesting carriers use 

demographic and other information 

obtained from incumbent LECs to 

determine whether they wish to 

collocate at particular remote terminals. 

This proposed collection in the 

Second Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (FCC 00–297) will be used 

by the Commission, the state 

commissions, and competitive carriers 

to facilitate the deployment of advanced 

services and other telecommunications 

services in implementation of section 

251(c)(6) of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended.

Comment 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed Consent Agreement. 

SUMMARY: The consent agreement in this 

matter settles alleged violations of 

federal law prohibiting unfair or 

deceptive acts or practices or unfair 

methods of competition. The attached 

Analysis to Aid Public Comment 

describes both the allegations in the 

draft complaint and the terms of the 

consent order — embodied in the 

consent agreement — that would settle 

these allegations. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 1, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments 

electronically or in paper form. 

Comments should refer to 

‘‘DanaherMDS, File No. 091 0159’’ to 

facilitate the organization of comments. 

Please note that your comment — 

including your name and your state — 

will be placed on the public record of 

this proceeding, including on the 

publicly accessible FTC website, at 

(http://www.ftc.gov/os/ 

publiccomments.shtm). 

Because comments will be made 

public, they should not include any 

sensitive personal information, such as 

an individual’s Social Security Number; 

date of birth; driver’s license number or 

other state identification number, or 

foreign country equivalent; passport 

number; financial account number; or 

credit or debit card number. Comments 

also should not include any sensitive 

health information, such as medical 

records or other individually 

identifiable health information. In 

addition, comments should not include 

any ‘‘[t]rade secret or any commercial or 

financial information which is obtained 

from any person and which is privileged 

or confidential. . . .,’’ as provided in 

Section 6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 

46(f), and Commission Rule 4.10(a)(2), 

16 CFR 4.10(a)(2). Comments containing 

material for which confidential 

treatment is requested must be filed in 

paper form, must be clearly labeled 

‘‘Confidential,’’ and must comply with 

FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c).1

Because paper mail addressed to the 

FTC is subject to delay due to 

heightened security screening, please 

consider submitting your comments in 

electronic form. Comments filed in 

electronic form should be submitted by 

using the following weblink: (https:// 

public.commentworks.com/ftc/ 

DanaherMDS) and following the 

instructions on the web-based form. To 

ensure that the Commission considers 

an electronic comment, you must file it 

on the web-based form at the weblink: 

(https://public.commentworks.com/ftc/ 

DanaherMDS). If this Notice appears at 

(http://www.regulations.gov/search/ 

index.jsp), you may also file an 

electronic comment through that 

website. The Commission will consider 

all comments that regulations.gov 

forwards to it. You may also visit the 

FTC website at (http://www.ftc.gov/) to 

read the Notice and the news release 

describing it. 

A comment filed in paper form 

should include the ‘‘DanaherMDS, File 

No. 091 0159’’ reference both in the text 

and on the envelope, and should be 

mailed or delivered to the following 

address: Federal Trade Commission, 

Office of the Secretary, Room H-135 

(Annex D), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW, Washington, DC 20580. The FTC is 

requesting that any comment filed in 

paper form be sent by courier or 

overnight service, if possible, because 

U.S. postal mail in the Washington area 

and at the Commission is subject to 

delay due to heightened security 

precautions. 

The Federal Trade Commission Act 

(‘‘FTC Act’’) and other laws the 

Commission administers permit the 

collection of public comments to 

consider and use in this proceeding as 

appropriate. The Commission will 

consider all timely and responsive 

public comments that it receives, 

whether filed in paper or electronic 

form. Comments received will be 

available to the public on the FTC 

website, to the extent practicable, at 

(http://www.ftc.gov/os/ 

publiccomments.shtm). As a matter of 

discretion, the Commission makes every 

effort to remove home contact 

information for individuals from the 

public comments it receives before 

placing those comments on the FTC 

website. More information, including 

routine uses permitted by the Privacy 

Act, may be found in the FTC’s privacy 

policy, at (http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/ 

privacy.shtm).
