information collection(s) pursuant to the

U.S.C. 3501–3520). An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number,
and no person is required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Comments concerning the
accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and
any suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0999.
OMB Approval Date: 7/2/08.
Expiration Date: 7/31/11.
Title: Section 20.19, Hearing AidCompatible Mobile Handsets (Hearing
Aid Compatibility Act).
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 925
respondents; 950 responses; 13.2 hours
average burden per response; 12,600
annual burden hours.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits; Statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in Sections 47
U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 157, 160, 201, 202,
208, 214, 301, 303, 308, 309(j), and 310.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Information requested in the reports
may include confidential information.
However, covered entities would be
allowed to request that such materials
submitted to the Commission be
withheld from public inspection. See 47
CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
revising this IC because it has adopted
final rules in a Report and Order, FCC
08–68, adopted on February 26, 2008,
and released on February 28, 2008,
which updates several of the
performance benchmarks for the
offering of hearing aid-compatible

handset models by manufacturers and
service providers of digital handsets
used with public mobile services,
institutes 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,
adopts a new version of the technical
standard for measuring hearing aid
compatibility, and addresses 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. 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 140 / Monday, July 21, 2008 / Notices
Commission requests respondents to
submit information which respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such

(LECs) to provide expanded

interconnection with their interstate
special access facilities. The LECs are
permitted to establish a number of rate
zones within study areas in which
expanded interconnection is
operational. In the Fifth Report and
Order in CC Docket No. 96–262, the
Commission allows price cap LECs to
define the scope and number of zones
within a study area. These LECs must
file and obtain approval of their pricing
plans which will be used by FCC staff
to ensure that the rates are just,
reasonable and nondiscriminatory.

any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before September 19,
2008. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon

person listed below to make alternate
arrangements.
For
additional information about the
information collection(s) or to obtain a
copy of the collection send an e-mail to
PRA@fcc.gov and include the
collection’s OMB control number as
shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below, or call Jerry
Cowden at 202–418–0447.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0987.
Title: 911 Callback Capability; Noninitialized Handsets (47 CFR Sections
20.18(l)(1)(i–iii), 20.18(l)(2)(i–iii)).
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 1,398 respondents; 226,398
responses.
Estimated Time per Response:
0.014457 hour (range of 30 seconds for
labeling each handset to one hour for
each respondent’s public education
effort).
Frequency of Response: Third-party
disclosure.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
See 47 CFR Sections 20.18(l)(1)(i–iii),
20.18(l)(2)(i–iii).
Total Annual Burden: 3,273 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: In 2003, the
Commission modified 47 CFR Section
20.18(l) to further improve the ability of
public safety answering points (PSAPs)
to respond quickly and efficiently to
calls for emergency assistance made
from non-service initialized wireless
mobile handsets. Non-service-initialized
wireless mobile handsets (noninitialized handsets) are not registered
42345
for service with any Commercial Mobile
Radio Service (CMRS) licensee. A noninitialized handset lacks a dialable
number, but is programmed to make
outgoing 911 calls. The Commission
addressed issues arising from the
inability of a PSAP operator to call back
a 911 caller who becomes disconnected
when using a non-service-initialized
wireless handset. These requirements
also apply to manufacturers of 911-only
handsets that are manufactured after
May 3, 2004.
