Abstract:
The Commission is submitting this revised information collection to enable consumers or other members of the public to file complaints relating to digital discrimination of access to broadband. On November 15, 2021, Congress enacted the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Infrastructure Act). Section 60506(e) of the Infrastructure Act directed the Commission to “revise its public complaint process to accept complaints from consumers or other members of the public that relate to digital discrimination.” To implement this provision, as well as the other requirements of section 60506, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on November 15, 2023. The Commission is also revising other informal consumer complaint forms. These changes, informed by the data collected through the Consumer Complaint Center (CCC) at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us, will improve the clarity, ease of use and utility of the CCC. This will allow the Commission to process consumer complaints more efficiently and provide more detailed data to inform enforcement and policy efforts.
