information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical

system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints, 
Inquiries and Requests for Dispute Assistance'', which became effective 
on September 24, 2014.
    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/Privacy5FImpact5FAssessment.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: The Commission consolidated all of the FCC informal 
consumer complaint intake into an online consumer complaint portal, 
which allows the Commission to better manage the collection of informal 
consumer complaints. Informal consumer complaints consist of informal 
consumer complaints, inquiries and comments. This revised information 
collection requests OMB approval for the addition of a layer of 
consumer reported complaint information. Consumers filing a complaint 
in the online portal are currently asked to choose a product, method 
and issue detailing their complaint. These revisions will allow 
consumers to choose from additional issues as well as multiple sub-
issues. This change will assist consumers in providing more granular 
information about their complaint, assist the Commission in the 
processing of the complaint and provide more detailed data to inform 
enforcement and policy efforts at the Commission.
