On April 6, 2011, in document FCC 11-54, the Commission released an Order adopting final rules  containing several information requirements -- designed to eliminate fraud and abuse in the provision of VRS, and to ensure the sustainability and integrity of the TRS program and the TRS Fund.
The Commission is submitting this change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval because we are making de minimis, non-substantive, clarifying changes to the August 2011 supporting statement to reflect the changes noted in the non-substantive change request, which themselves are not changes to the substance of the rule.
US Code:
47 USC 225
Name of Law: Communications Act of 1934, as amended
The Commission is submitting this collection as a revised collection. The Commission has partially reduced the burdens associated with the emergency approval received for the required submission for waiver request; which modifies the existing information collection approved by OMB on May 9, 2011; and added new information collection requirements, all pursuant to the 2011 Structure and Practices of Video Relay Service Report and Order. Therefore, the following program changes will be reflected in OMB's inventory: -8 number of respondent, from 28 to 20 respondents; +1,249 annual number of responses, from 174 to 1,423 annual number of responses; +4,254 annual burdens hours, from 378 to 4,632 annual burdens hours; and +$35,600 annual cost; from $0 to $35,600 annual cost.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
