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.
