Synopsis

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received OMB approval on 
August 9, 2016, for the new information collection requirements 
contained in the Commission's rules at 47 CFR 79.107(a)(5), (d), and 
(e), 79.108(d)(2), and (f).
    Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB 
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 
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 
Control Number is 3060-1203.
    The foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
    The total annual reporting burdens and costs for the respondents 
are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1203.
    OMB Approval Date: August 9, 2016.
    OMB Expiration Date: August 31, 2019.
    Title: Section 79.107--User Interfaces Provided by Digital 
Apparatus; Section 79.108--Video Programming Guides and Menus Provided 
by Navigation Devices; Section 79.110--Complaint Procedures for User 
Interfaces, Menus and Guides, and Activating Accessibility Features on 
Digital Apparatus and Navigation Devices.
    Form Number: N/A.

[[Page 55153]]

    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: 4,245 respondents; 517,052 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.0167 hours to 10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third 
party disclosure requirement; Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. The statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in the Twenty-First Century 
Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law 111-260, 
124 Stat. 2751, and Sections 4(i), 4(j), 303(r), 303(u), 303(aa), 
303(bb), and 716(g) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 
U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), 303(r), 303(u), 303(aa), 303(bb), and 617(g).
    Total Annual Burden: 24,153 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $70,500.
    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 79.110.
    Privacy Act 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: On November 20, 2015, in document FCC 15-156, the 
Commission released a Second Report and Order, Order on 
Reconsideration, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket 
No. 12-108, FCC 15-156, adopting additional rules implementing Sections 
204 and 205 of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video 
Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) related to accessible user interfaces 
and video programming guides and menus. These rules are codified at 47 
CFR 79.107 and 79.108. First, the Second Report and Order implements 
Section 204's requirement that both the ``appropriate built-in 
apparatus functions'' and the ``on-screen text menus or other visual 
indicators built in to the digital apparatus'' to access such functions 
be ``usable by individuals who are blind or visually impaired'' by 
relying on the existing definition of ``usable'' in Section 6.3(l) of 
the Commission's rules. The 6.3(l) definition of ``usable'' requires 
that ``individuals with disabilities have access to the full 
functionality and documentation for the product, including 
instructions, product information (including accessible feature 
information), documentation, bills and technical support which is 
provided to individuals without disabilities.'' In addition, the Second 
Report and Order adopts information, documentation, and training 
requirements comparable to those in Section 6.11 of the Commission's 
rules for entities covered by both Section 204 and Section 205 of the 
CVAA. The Second Report and Order also adopts consumer notification 
requirements for equipment manufacturers of digital apparatus and 
navigation devices that will require manufacturers to publicize the 
availability of accessible devices on manufacturer Web sites that must 
be accessible to those with disabilities. The Second Report and Order 
requires MVPDs, as well as manufacturers, to ensure that the contact 
office or person listed on their Web site is able to answer both 
general and specific questions about the availability of accessible 
equipment, including, if necessary, providing information to consumers 
or directing consumers to a place where they can locate information 
about how to activate and use accessibility features.
