[[Page 39938]]

required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 
3520. 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 estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; (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, and (e) ways to further reduce the information collection 
burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not 
display a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before [lsqb]September 13, 2010[rsqb]. If you 
anticipate that you will be submitting PRA comments, but find it

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-xxxx.
    Title: Structure and Practices of the Video Relay Service Program, 
CG Docket No. 10-51.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents; 130 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .017 hours (1 minute average per 
response).
    Frequency of Response: Annual and monthly reporting requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for the information collection requirements is 
found at Sections 1, 4, 225, and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended (Act), 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 225, and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 2.17 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 personally identifiable information (PII) 
from individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: In document FCC 10-88, the Commission finds good 
cause to adopt an interim rule requiring the Chief Executive Officer, 
Chief Financial Officer, or other senior executive of a 
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) provider submitting minutes to 
the Interstate TRS Fund (Fund) administrator for compensation on a 
monthly basis to certify, under penalty of perjury, that the submitted 
minutes were handled in compliance with Section 225 of the Act and the 
Commission's rules and orders. Also in this document, the Commission 
requires such an executive to certify, under penalty of perjury, that 
cost and demand data submitted to the Fund administrator on an annual 
basis related to the determination of compensation rates or 
methodologies are true and correct. The explosive growth in the Fund in 
recent years and evidence of fraud against the Fund, as evidenced by 
recent indictments and guilty pleas from call center managers and 
employees admitting to defrauding the Fund of tens of millions of 
dollars, require the Commission to take immediate steps in preserving 
the Fund to ensure the continued availability of TRS. By requiring 
providers to be more accountable for their submissions, the Commission 
takes necessary, affirmative steps to preserve the TRS Fund.


Federal Communications Commission.
