effort to reduce paperwork burden

opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104–13.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a valid control number.
Comments are requested concerning: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0874.
Title: Consumer Complaint Form/
Obscene, Profane, and Indecent
Complaint Form, FCC Forms 475 and
475B.
Form Number: FCC Form 475 and
Form 475B.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
entities; and Not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 1,354,619:
FCC Form 475—83,287; FCC Form
475B—1,271,332.
Estimated Time per Response: FCC
Form 475—30 minutes; FCC Form
475B—15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 359,477: FCC
Form 475—41,644 hours; FCC Form
475B—317,833 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Needs and Uses: Revised FCC Form
475, Consumer Complaint Form, allows
the Commission to collect detailed data
from consumers of the practices of
common carriers. This information
contained in the collection will allow
consumers to provide the Commission
with the relevant information required
to help consumers develop a concise
statement outlining the issues in dispute
and revisions were made to also
minimize the need to call back
consumers in order to acquire further
data. The Commission uses the
information to assist in resolving
informal complaints and the collected
data required to assess the practices of
common carriers and as a part of
investigative work performed by federal
and state law enforcement agencies to
monitor carrier practices and promote
compliance with federal and state
requirements. The data may ultimately
become the foundation for enforcement
actions and/or rulemaking proceedings,
as appropriate.
We have revised FCC Form 475 to
clarify information requirements and
comply with OMB requests to make the
form less confusing and more user
friendly, by making it clear for which
complaints revised Form 475 may be
used. Form 475 has also been made
more consumer-friendly by putting
directions for use in colored text at the
top of the form to emphasize which
types of complaints may be filed using
the revised Form 475. Revised Form 475
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

will be used for all telephone-related
complaints, except slamming. Certain
fields have an asterisk next to them if
the information is required in order to
submit a complaint. It is also clearly
stated now for which complaints Form
475 may be used and clearly states that
‘‘slamming’’ complaints may not be
filed using the revised Form 475. Letters
and numbers have been added to the
individual data requests to make it
easier for consumers to fill out the
revised FCC Form 475.
In Form 475, the Commission asks for
the complainant’s contact information
in the first ten fields, including, name/
company name, address, telephone
number and e-mail address. Form 475
also asks the consumer briefly to
describe their complaints including the
company(ies) involved, the account
numbers, telephone numbers associated
with the complaint, types of service
involved, important dates, and the
resolution the consumer is seeking.
Revised Form 475 will also provide
clearer guidance for persons wishing to
file Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA) related complaints (e.g.,
unwanted telemarketing calls,
unsolicited faxes, etc.). Revised Form
475 now has a section for consumers to
submit TCPA complaints with the
Commission. This section includes five
fields or questions where consumers
will provide the requested information
or respond to the question to file a
TCPA violation with the Commission.
Proposed FCC Form 475B, Obscene,
Profane, and Indecent Complaint Form,
will enable the Commission to collect
detailed data from consumers on the
practices of those entities that may air/
broadcast obscene, profane and indecent
programming by giving consumers an
opportunity, for the first time, to use a
specific form to delineate the
consumer’s complaint. Form 475B will
be used only for complaints associated
with obscene, profane, and/or indecent
programming. Information contained in
the collection will allow consumers to
provide the Commission with the
relevant information to help consumers
develop a concise statement outlining
the issues in dispute thereby
minimizing the amount of time it takes
to file a complaint, minimizing
confusion on what information the
Commission requires, and improving
the complaint process and the overall
quality of the complaints received.
Prior to the creation of Form 475B,
consumers have attempted to use Form
475 to submit complaints about
programming and in most such
instances the Commission has been
unable to process the complaints
because not enough information was
E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2005 / Notices
included, e.g., information pertaining to
the date, time, and content of the
program, the name of the station or
program that is the subject of the
complaint. FCC Form 475B will include
fields that will ask for the complainant’s
contact information, including name,
address, e-mail address, and telephone
number. Form 475B will also include a
section that asks for information to help
identify the station that aired the alleged
indecent, profane, and/or indecent
material, including the network’s name,
name of the station, name of the
particular program including host or
personality/DJ, time of the program, the
time zone, the date of the program and
the community where the material was
aired. The last section on Form 475B
asks the complainant to describe the
incident and to include as much detail
as possible about specific words,
languages, and images, to help the
Commission determine whether the
program was, in fact, obscene, profane,
or indecent. The data may ultimately
become the foundation for enforcement
actions and/or rulemaking proceedings,
as appropriate. The information will
strengthen the effectiveness of the
Commission’s rules in deterring
obscene, profane, and indecent content
and programming.
