Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for Review to the Office of Management and Budget, 29514-29515 [E8-11402]

Download as PDF 29514 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 21, 2008 / Notices were required to label certain phones they sold with information about their compatibility with hearing aids, and also to report to the Commission (at first every six months, then on an annual basis) on the number and types of hearing aid-compatible phones they were producing or offering to the public.] Now, the Commission has adopted and released a Report and Order, FCC 08–68, which updated several of the performance benchmarks for manufacturers and service providers, instituted new requirements for manufacturers to refresh their product lines and for service providers to offer hearing aid-compatible handset models with differing levels of functionality, adopted a new version of the technical standard for measuring hearing aid compliance, and addressed the application of the rules to phones that operate in multiple frequency bands or air interfaces. To assist the Commission in monitoring the implementation of the new requirements and to provide information to the public, the Report and Order also requires manufacturers and service providers to continue to file annual reports on the status of their compliance with these requirements, and requires manufacturers and service providers that maintain public Web sites to publish up-to-date information on those Web sites regarding their hearing aid-compatible handset models. The annual reports required in this Order contain different and additional information than in previous versions of this information collection (see above). Those requirements, along with the requirement to post certain information on Web sites, are intended to give consumers the information they need to navigate a technically complex and rapidly changing world of hearing aidcompatible wireless phones, and to allow the Commission to monitor compliance with its new regulations. Finally, in order to avoid potential consumer confusion over technical capabilities, the Order modified the product labeling requirements slightly. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES Federal Communications Commission.
