SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–0422.
OMB Approval Date: 09/10/2007.
Expiration Date: 09/30/2010.
Title: Section 68.5, Waivers
(Application for Waiver of Hearing Aid
Compatibility Requirements.
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 10

annual hourly burden.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0874.
OMB Approval Date: 09/11/2007.
Expiration Date: 09/30/2010.
Title: Consumer Complaint Forms,
FCC Forms 475–B and FCC Form 2000.
Form No.: FCC Forms 475–B; 2000–A,
2000–B, 2000–C, 2000–D, 2000–E, and
2000–F.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,330,108
responses; 15 to 30 minutes per
response; 347,221 total annual hourly
burden.
Needs and Uses: Section 208(a) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, authorizes complaints by any
‘‘person complaining of anything done
or omitted to be done by any common
carrier’’ subject to the provisions of the
Act. Section 208(a) further states that, if
a carrier does not satisfy a complaint or
there appears to be any reasonable
ground for investigating the complaint,
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the Commission shall ‘‘investigate the
matters complained of in such manner
and by such means as it shall deem
proper.’’ Although the Act does not
discuss how the Commission should
treat complaints against non-common
carriers for violations of the Act or
Commission rules, the Commission
investigates such complaints in a
manner similar to how it treats those
against common carriers.
Currently, the Commission has
specific complaint forms for the
unauthorized conversion of a person’s
telephone service (‘‘slamming’’) (FCC
Form 501), the broadcast of indecent,
obscene, or profane material (FCC Form
475B), and the unlawful telemarketing,
‘‘junk faxing,’’ or e-mail messaging to a
wireless device (FCC Form 1088).
The new FCC Form 2000 replaces the
FCC Form 475, providing greater clarity
and ease of use by separating the
various complaint subject areas into
separate subparts tailored to each
subject. The Internet-based version of
FCC Form 2000 first asks for the
complainant’s contact information,
including name, address, telephone
number, and e-mail address; then
presents a ‘‘gateway’’ question to
determine the general topic of the
complaint: (1) Deceptive or unlawful
advertising or marketing; (2) billing,
privacy, or service quality; (3) disability
access; (4) emergency or public safety;
(5) general media issues; or (6) other
complaints. As described below, the
form provides examples of the types of
issues covered by each topic. After the
complainant answers this question, the
form asks additional questions geared to
the specific type of violation reported.
The form poses certain mandatory
threshold questions that must be
answered for the Commission to
determine whether a violation has
occurred. It also provides space for
complainants to provide additional
information and details that may be
necessary or helpful to the Commission
in investigating the complaint.
In printed format, FCC Form 2000 has
six subparts, one for each area described
above. Each subpart of the printable
version of FCC Form 2000 consolidates
the complainant’s personal information
with detailed questions about the
specific violations alleged by the
complainant. The information collected
by FCC Form 2000 may ultimately
become the foundation for enforcement
actions and/or rulemaking proceedings,
as appropriate. FCC Form 475–B,
Obscene, Profane, and Indecent
Complaint Form is used by consumers
to lay out precisely their complaint(s)
and issue(s) concerning the practices of
the communications entities, which
