This submission supports the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of the proposed information
collection requirements contained in the Commission's Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 12-107, FCC 12-142 (the NPRM).
The current emergency information rules, codified at 47 C.F.R. §
79.2, are designed to ensure that persons with hearing and visual
disabilities have access to the critical details of television
programming containing emergency information. In 2000, the
Commission adopted the rules to assist persons with hearing
disabilities, in the Second Report and Order in MM Docket No.
95-176. Later that year, the Commission modified the rules to
assist persons with visual disabilities, in the Report and Order in
MM Docket No. 99-339. In the NPRM, the Commission proposes rules to
implement portions of the Twenty-First Century Communications and
Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (the CVAA) related to accessible
emergency information, and apparatus requirements for emergency
information and video description.
The Commission proposes the
following program changes to this collection as a result of the
proposed information collection requirements contained in FCC
12-142: (a) the Commission's estimate for the total number of
respondents would increase by 30, from 50 respondents to 80
respondents; (b) the Commission's estimate for the total number of
annual responses would increase by 30, from 50 to 80; (c) the
Commission's estimate for the total annual burden hours would
increase by 40, from 53 to 93; and (d) the Commission's estimate
for the total annualized cost burden would increase $5,850, from
$6,750 to $12,600.
