Abstract:
In 2013, the Commission adopted rules related to making accessible the user interfaces, text menus, and guides of digital apparatus and navigation devices used to view video programming. Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket Nos. 12-108, 12-107, FCC 13-138. In 2015, the Commission adopted additional rules to ensure that consumers are able to find out about what accessible devices and features are available from manufacturers and multichannel video programming distributors and how to use such device and features. Second Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 12-108, FCC 15-156. The Commission is seeking approval to transfer certain information collection burdens to OMB Control Number 3060-0874 to reflect the development of an online form for use by consumers in filing complaints alleging violations of these accessibility requirements.

Short Statement:
The Commission transferred information collection burdens related to the filing of complaints from this information collection to OMB Control Number 3060-0874 and further decreased the burdens associated with this information collection by correcting an error in the calculation of the estimated hourly burdens related to filing complaints. Overall, the burdens associated with these two information collections were decreased because filing a complaint offline under this collection (OMB Control Number 3060-1203) was estimated to require 0.5 hour (30 minutes) per complaint, and filing a complaint online (burdens reflected in OMB Control Number 3060-0874) is estimated to require 0.25 hour (15 minutes) per complaint. Therefore, there are adjustments/decreases to this information collection, which are as follows: -70 from the annual number of respondents (from 4,245 to 4,175), -70 from the annual number of responses (from 517,052 to 516,982), and -110 from the annual burden hours (from 24,153 hours to 24,043). There are no changes to the annual cost. Also, there are no program changes to this information collection.
