The Commission is submitting this revised information collection to transfer certain information collection burdens associated with this OMB control number to another OMB control number. This change is being made to reflect the development of an online form for use by consumers in filing complaints with the Commission that allege violations of the FCC’s disability accessibility requirements. The online form is part of an information collection reflected in OMB control number 3060-0874. The Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) directed the Commission to revise its regulations to mandate closed captioning on IP-delivered video programming that was published or exhibited on television with captions after the effective date of the regulations. Accordingly, the Commission requires video programming owners (VPOs) to send program files to video programming distributors and providers (hereinafter VPDs) with required captions, and it requires VPDs to enable the rendering or pass through of all required captions to the end user. The CVAA also directed the Commission to revise its regulations to mandate that all apparatus designed to receive, play back, or record video programming be equipped with built-in closed caption decoder circuitry or capability designed to display closed-captioned video programming, except that apparatus that use a picture screen that is 13 inches or smaller and recording devices must comply only if doing so is achievable. These rules are codified at 47 CFR §§ 79.4 and 79.100 – 79.104.

Based on its experience, the Commission decreased the burdens associated with this information collection by updating the estimated number of complaints and estimated hourly burdens related to the filing of complaints, and transferred certain information collection burdens related to the filing of complaints from this information collection to OMB Control Number 3060-0874. Overall, the burdens associated with these two information collections were decreased because filing a complaint offline under this collection (OMB Control Number 3060-1162) was estimated to require one (1) hour and is now estimated to require 0.50 hour (30 minutes) per complaint, and filing a complaint online (burdens reflected in OMB Control Number 3060-0874) is estimated to require 0.25 hour (15 minutes) per complaint. Therefore, there are adjustments/decreases to this information collection, which are as follows: -150 from the annual number of respondents (from 1,322 to 1,172), -325 from the annual number of responses (from 3,666 to 3,341), and -865 from the annual burden hours (from 10,062 hours to 9,197 hours). There are no changes to the annual cost. Also, there are no program changes to this information collection.
