This collection covers the proposed
information collection requirements contained in the Commission's
proposed rules for closed captioning of video programming delivered
using Internet protocol ("IP"), as required by the Twenty-First
Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (the
"CVAA"), MB Docket No. 11-154, FCC 11-138. The proposed rules would
be codified at 47 C.F.R. § 79.4. Closed captioning is an assistive
technology that provides individuals who are deaf or hard of
hearing with access to television programming. Existing regulations
require the use of closed captioning on television. The CVAA
directs 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.
This is a new collection of
information. If the requirements are adopted in a final rulemaking
by the Commission, program changes/increases of 1,140 respondents,
12,225 responses, 6,140 hours and $420,000 in annual costs will be
added to OMB's inventory.
