[[Page 24921]]

Commission's rules may seek confidential treatment of information they 
provide pursuant to the Commission's existing confidentiality rules.
    The Commission is not requesting that individuals who file 
complaints alleging violations of our rules (complainants) submit 
confidential information (e.g., credit card numbers, social security 
numbers, or personal financial information) to us. We request that 
complainants submit their names, addresses, and other contact 
information, which enables us to process complaints. Any use of this 
information is covered under the routine uses listed in the 
Commission's SORN, FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints, Inquiries, and 
Requests for Dispute Assistance.''
    The PIA that the FCC completed on June 28, 2007 gives a full and 
complete explanation of how the FCC collects, stores, maintains, 
safeguards, and destroys PII, as required by OMB regulations and the 
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The PIA may be viewed at: http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html.
    The Commission will update the PIA to cover the PII collected 
related to this information collection to incorporate various revisions 
to it as a result of revisions to the SORN and as required by OMB's 
Memorandum M-03-22 (September 26, 2003) and by the Privacy Act, 5 
U.S.C. 552a.
    Needs and Uses: 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.
    The information collection requirements consist of:
    (a) Mechanism for information about video programming subject to 
the IP closed captioning requirements.
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 79.4(c)(1)(ii) and (c)(2)(ii) of the 
Commission's rules, VPOs and VPDs must agree upon a mechanism to make 
information available to VPDs about video programming that becomes 
subject to the requirements of 47 CFR 79.4 on an ongoing basis. VPDs 
must make a good faith effort to identify video programming that must 
be captioned when delivered using IP using the agreed upon mechanism.
    For example, VPOs and VPDs may agree on a mechanism whereby the 
VPOs provide captions or certifications that captions are not required, 
and update those certifications and provide captions when captions 
later become required. A VPD may rely in good faith on a certification 
by a VPO that the programming need not be captioned: (1) If the 
certification includes a clear and concise explanation of why captions 
are not required; and (2) if the VPD is able to produce the 
certification to the Commission in the event of a complaint. VPOs may 
provide certifications for specific programming or a more general 
certification, for example, for all programming covered by a particular 
contract.
    VPDs may seek Commission determinations that other proposed 
mechanisms provide adequate information for them to rely on in good 
faith by filing an informal request and providing sufficient 
information for the Commission to make such determinations.
    (b) Contact information for the receipt and handling of written 
closed captioning complaints.
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 79.4(c)(2)(iii), VPDs must make their contact 
information available to end users for the receipt and handling of 
written IP closed captioning complaints. The required contact 
information includes the name of a person with primary responsibility 
for IP captioning issues and who can ensure compliance with these 
rules, as well as the person's title or office, telephone number, fax 
number, postal mailing address, and email address. VPDs must keep this 
information current and update it within 10 business days of any 
change. The Commission expects that such contact information will be 
prominently displayed in a way that it is accessible to all end users. 
A general notice on the VPD's Web site with such contact information, 
if provided, must be provided in a location that is conspicuous to 
viewers.
    (c) Petitions for exemption based on ``economic burden.''
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 79.4(d), a VPO or VPD may petition the 
Commission for a full or partial exemption from the closed captioning 
requirements for IP-delivered video programming based upon a showing 
that they would be economically burdensome. Petitions for exemption 
must be supported with sufficient evidence to demonstrate economic 
burden (significant difficulty or expense). The Commission will 
consider four specific factors when determining economic burden and any 
other factors the petitioner deems relevant, along with any available 
alternatives that might constitute a reasonable substitute for the 
closed captioning requirements. Petitions and subsequent pleadings must 
be filed electronically.
    The Commission will place such petitions on public notice. Comments 
or oppositions to the petition may be filed electronically within 30 
days after release of the public notice of the petition, and must 
include a certification that the petitioner was served with a copy. The 
petitioner may reply to any comments or oppositions filed within 20 
days after the close of the period for filing comments or oppositions, 
and replies must include a certification that the commenting or 
opposing party was served with a copy. Upon a finding of good cause, 
the Commission may lengthen or shorten any comment period and waive or 
establish other procedural requirements. Petitions and responsive 
pleadings must include a detailed, full showing, supported by 
affidavit, of any facts or considerations relied on.
    (d) Complaints alleging violations of the closed captioning rules 
for IP-delivered video programming.
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 79.4(e), a written complaint alleging a 
violation of the closed captioning rules for IP-delivered video 
programming may be filed with the Commission or with the VPD 
responsible for enabling the rendering or pass through of the closed 
captions for the video programming. Complaints must be filed within 60 
days after the date the complainant experienced a problem with 
captioning. Such complaints should (but are not required to) include 
certain information.
    If a complaint is filed first with the VPD, the VPD must respond in 
writing to the complainant within 30 days after receipt of a closed 
captioning compliant. If a VPD fails to respond timely, or the response 
does not satisfy the consumer, the complainant may re-

[[Page 24922]]

file the complaint with the Commission within 30 days after the time 
allotted for the VPD to respond. If a consumer re-files the complaint 
with the Commission (after filing with the VPD) and the complaint 
satisfies the requirements, the Commission will forward the complaint 
to the named VPD, and to any other VPD and/or VPO that Commission staff 
determines may be involved, who then must respond in writing to the 
Commission and the complainant within 30 days after receipt of the 
complaint from the Commission.
    If a complaint is filed first with the Commission and the complaint 
satisfies the requirements, the Commission will forward the complaint 
to the named VPD and/or VPO, and to any other VPD and/or VPO that 
Commission staff determine may be involved, who must respond in writing 
to the Commission and the complainant within 30 days after receipt of 
the complaint from the Commission. In response to a complaint, a VPD 
and/or VPO must provide the Commission with sufficient records and 
documentation. The Commission will review all relevant information 
provided by the complainant and the subject VPDs and/or VPOs, as well 
as any additional information the Commission deems relevant from its 
files or public sources. The Commission may request additional 
information from any relevant entities when, in the estimation of 
Commission staff, such information is needed to investigate the 
complaint or adjudicate potential violation(s) of Commission rules. 
When the Commission requests additional information, parties to which 
such requests are addressed must provide the requested information in 
the manner and within the time period the Commission specifies.
    (e) Requests for Commission determination of technical feasibility 
of apparatus closed caption requirements.
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 79.103(a), as of January 1, 2014, all digital 
apparatus designed to receive or play back video programming that uses 
a picture screen of any size must be equipped with built-in closed 
caption decoder circuitry or capability designed to display closed-
captioned video programming, if technically feasible. If new apparatus 
or classes of apparatus for viewing video programming emerge on which 
it would not be technically feasible to include closed captioning, 
parties may raise that argument as a defense to a complaint or, 
alternatively, file a request under 47 CFR 1.41 for a Commission 
determination of technical feasibility before manufacturing or 
importing the product.
    (f) Requests for Commission determination of achievability of 
apparatus closed caption requirements.
    Pursuant to 47 CFR 79.103(a), as of January 1, 2014, all digital 
apparatus designed to receive or play back video programming that use a 
picture screen less than 13 inches in size must be equipped with built-
in closed caption decoder circuitry or capability designed to display 
closed-captioned video programming, only if doing so is achievable. In 
addition, pursuant to 47 CFR 79.104(a), as of January 1, 2014, all 
apparatus designed to record video programming must enable the 
rendering or the pass through of closed captions such that viewers are 
able to activate and de-activate the closed captions as the video 
programming is played back, only if doing so is achievable.
    Manufacturers of such apparatus may petition the Commission, 
pursuant to 47 CFR 1.41, for a full or partial exemption from the 
closed captioning requirements before manufacturing or importing the 
apparatus or may assert as a response to a complaint that these 
requirements, in full or in part, are not achievable. Pursuant to 47 
CFR 79.103(b)(3), such a petition or response must be supported with 
sufficient evidence to demonstrate that compliance is not achievable 
(meaning with reasonable effort or expense) and the Commission will 
consider four specific factors when making such determinations. In 
evaluating evidence offered to prove that compliance was not 
achievable, the Commission will be informed by the analysis in the ACS 
Order.
    (g) Petitions for purpose-based waivers of apparatus closed caption 
requirements.
    Manufacturers seeking certainty prior to the sale of a device may 
petition the Commission, pursuant to 47 CFR 79.104(b)(4), for a full or 
partial waiver of the closed captioning requirements based on one of 
the following provisions:
    (i) The apparatus is primarily designed for activities other than 
receiving or playing back video programming transmitted simultaneously 
with sound; or
    (ii) The apparatus is designed for multiple purposes, capable of 
receiving or playing back video programming transmitted simultaneously 
with sound but whose essential utility is derived from other purposes.
    (h) Complaints alleging violations of the apparatus closed caption 
requirements.
    Consumers may file written complaints alleging violations of the 
Commission's rules, 47 CFR 79.101-79.104, requiring apparatus designed 
to receive, play back, or record video programming to be equipped with 
built-in closed caption decoder circuitry or capability designed to 
display closed-captions. A written complaint filed with the Commission 
must be transmitted to the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau 
through the Commission's online informal complaint filing system, U.S. 
Mail, overnight delivery, or facsimile. Such complaints should include 
certain information about the complainant and the alleged violation. 
The Commission may forward such complaints to the named manufacturer or 
provider, as well as to any other entity that Commission staff 
determines may be involved, and may request additional information from 
any relevant parties when, in the estimation of Commission staff, such 
information is needed to investigate the complaint or adjudicate 
potential violations of Commission rules.
