Abstract: 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.
