FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Parts 79

[MB Docket No. 11-43; FCC 11-126]


Video Description: Implementation of the Twenty-First Century 
Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission published in the Federal 
Register of September 8, 2011, a document concerning implementation of 
the Video Description elements of the Twenty-First Century 
Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. Inadvertently the 
Compliance date was listed as October 1, 2012. This document corrects 
the Compliance date to reflect the item and rules as adopted and 
published, which require compliance beginning on July 1, 2012. It also 
adds a paragraph which was included in the Proposed Rules in this 
proceeding but inadvertently omitted from the Final Rules.

DATES: Effective on: November 3, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lyle Elder, [email protected] of the 
Policy Division, Media Bureau, (202) 418-2120.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC published a document in the Federal 
Register of September 8, 2011 (76 FR 55585), in which the Compliance 
date listed in the Dates section of the preamble was incorrect and from 
which a rule paragraph was missing. This technical amendment revises 
the Compliance date section of the preamble to reflect the text of the 
item and the rules as published. It also adds a rules paragraph that 
was included in

[[Page 68118]]

the Proposed Rules but inadvertently omitted from the Final Rules, and 
revises adjacent rules to reflect this addition. In rule FR Doc. 2011-
22878 published on September 8, 2011 (76 FR 55585), make the following 
two corrections. First, on page 55585, in the second column, revise the 
``Compliance date'' line to read ``Compliance date: July 1, 2012.'' 
Secondly, on page 55605, in the third column, revise paragraphs 
79.3(e)(1)(iv) and (v) and add paragraph (vi).
