Sunshine Act Meeting: FCC To Hold Open Commission Meeting Friday, August 1, 2008, 44745 [E8-17659]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 148 / Thursday, July 31, 2008 / Notices Notice of Proposed Rulemaking sought comment, inter alia, on measures to assist consumers by shortening the complaint process to allow consumers to file complaints directly with the Commission, rather than requiring that they first file their complaints with the video programming distributor. The Closed Captioning Notice of Proposed Rulemaking also sought comment on whether petitions for exemption from the closed captioning rules should be permitted (or required) to be filed electronically through the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System, and whether video programming distributors should be required to submit compliance reports to the Commission in cases where the types of video programming that they air are still subject to a phase-in period, or where the final required amount of captioning post phase-in (e.g., pre-rule programming) is not 100 percent. Furthermore, the Closed Captioning Notice of Proposed Rulemaking sought comment on whether video programming distributors should be required to distribute contact information to their subscribers (if the video programming provider is a subscription service) and to place such information on their Web site, as well as providing it to the Commission for placement on its Web site.
