FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. Comments are requested concerning 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; the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information collected; 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 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before July 5, 
2013. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the FCC contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0967.
    Title: Section 79.2, Accessibility of Programming Providing 
Emergency Information.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; individuals or 
households; not-for-profit institutions; and State, local, or tribal 
Governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 to 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
Sections 151, 152(a), 154(i), 154(j), 303, 307, 309, 310 and 613 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 53 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $6,750.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue 
to the extent that individuals and households provide personally 
identifiable information, which is covered under the FCC's updated 
system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints and 
Inquiries'', which became effective on January 25, 2010. The Commission 
believes that it provides sufficient safeguards to protect the privacy 
of individuals who file complaints under 47 CFR 79.2(c).
    Privacy Impact Assessment: The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for 
Informal Complaints and Inquiries was completed on June 28, 2007. It 
may be reviewed at http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html. The Commission is in the process of updating the PIA 
to incorporate various revisions to it as a result of revisions to the 
SORN.
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 79.2 is designed to ensure that persons with 
hearing and visual disabilities have access to the critical details of 
emergency information. The Commission adopted the rules to assist 
persons with hearing disabilities on April 13, 2000, in the Second 
Report and Order in MM Docket No. 95-176. The Commission modified the 
rules to assist persons with visual disabilities on July 21, 2000, in 
the Report and Order in MM Docket No. 99-339.
    47 CFR 79.2(c) requires that each complaint transmitted to the 
Commission include the following: The name of the video programming 
distributor at issue; the date and time of the omission of the 
emergency information; and the type of emergency. The Commission then 
notifies the video programming distributor, which must reply within 30 
days.

Federal Communications Commission.
