that individuals and households
provide personally identifiable
information, which is covered under the
FCC’s system of records notice, FCC/
CGB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and
Inquiries.’’

FCC 05–142, published at 70 FR 56150
on September 26, 2005 (Closed
Captioning Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking), which sought comment on
several issues pertaining to the
Commission’s closed captioning rules
(47 CFR 79.1), which require that, with
some exceptions, all new video
programming, and 75 percent of ‘‘prerule’’ programming, eventually be
closed captioned. The Closed
Captioning Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking sought comment, inter alia,
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.
On November 7, 2008, the
Commission released Closed Captioning
of Video Programming; Closed
Captioning Requirements for Digital
Television Receivers, CG Docket No. 05–
231 and ET Docket No. 99–24,
Declaratory Ruling, Order and Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 08–255
(2008 Order), published at 74 FR 1594
on January 13, 2009, addressing some of
the issues raised in the Closed
Captioning Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking. The 2008 Order
streamlined and simplified the closed
captioning complaint process by
shortening the time frames associated
with filing and responding to
complaints, and by permitting
complaints to be filed directly with the
Commission, rather than requiring that
they be filed with the video
programming distributor first. The 2008
Order also adopted new rules requiring
video programming distributors to make
contact information available in phone
directories, on the Commission’s Web
site and their own Web sites (if they
have them), and in billing statements (to
the extent they issue them). With this
contact information, consumers can
more easily and promptly contact the
appropriate person or office at a video
programming distributor to report
closed captioning problems or to file
complaints.
