Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 23 / Thursday, February 4, 2010 / Notices
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for the information collection
requirement is found at Sec. 225 [47
U.S.C. 225] Telecommunications
Services for Hearing–Impaired
Individuals; The Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA), Public
Law 101–336, 104 Stat. 327, 366–69,
was enacted on July 26, 1990.
Total Annual Burden: 112 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information
collection does not require the
collection of personal identifiable
information (PII) from individuals.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: In August 2003, the
Commission released
Telecommunications Relay Services and
Speech–to–Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67,
Declaratory Ruling, published at 68 FR
55898, September 28, 2003. In the
Declaratory Ruling, the Commission
clarified that one–line captioned
telephone voice carry over (VCO)
service (CTS) is a type of
telecommunications relay service (TRS)
eligible for compensation from the
Interstate TRS Fund (Fund). The
Commission also clarified that certain
TRS mandatory minimum standards do
not apply to one–line CTS, and waived
portions of 47 CFR 64.604(a)(1) and
(a)(3). Parts of the waivers were
contingent on the filing of annual
reports with the Commission detailing
providers’ compliance with the
Declaratory Ruling, and any
technological advances that might
enable CTS providers to meet those
waived standards. Among the standards
not waived, however, was the
requirement in 47 CFR 64.604(c)(1) that
each provider maintain a log of
consumer complaints that must be
submitted to the Commission annually.
In July 2005, the Commission released
Telecommunications Relay Services and
Speech–to–Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67 and
CG Docket No. 03–123, Order,
published at 70 FR 54294, September
14, 2005, clarifying that two–line CTS is
a type of TRS eligible for compensation
from the Fund. In so doing, the
Commission found that two–line CTS
‘‘is simply a variation of’’ CTS that offers
the same functionality while also
offering the user additional features.
Therefore, the same waivers and waiver

Jkt 220001
reporting and complaint log obligations
applicable to one–line CTS have also
applied to two–line CTS.
In January 2007, the Commission
released Telecommunications Relay
Services and Speech–to–Speech
Services for Individuals with Hearing
and Speech Disabilities; Internet–based
Captioned Telephone Service, CG
Docket No. 03–123, Declaratory Ruling,
published at 72 FR 6960, February 14,
2007, clarifying that Internet Protocol
CTS (IP CTS) is a type of TRS eligible
for compensation from the Fund when
offered in compliance with the
applicable TRS mandatory minimum
standards. In so doing, the Commission
waived or declared inapplicable some of
these standards for IP CTS, consistent
with waivers granted and other findings
with respect to the provision of CTS and
IP Relay, to the extent that IP CTS
shares characteristics with both of those
services. Like with those services,
however, the Commission required IP
CTS providers to file waiver reports for
those waivers contingent on the filing of
such reports, and the requirement to file
complaint logs was not waived.
This notice covers the information
collection burdens associated with the
filing of these waiver reports and
complaint logs.

respondents; 1,400 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours
x 2 filings per year.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party

256, 271 and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential
information to the Commission. Any
respondent who submits information to
the Commission that they believe is
confidential may request confidential
treatment of such information under 47
CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Need and Uses: The Commission will
submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) during this comment
period in order to obtain the three year

party disclosure requirements.
The Commission asked whether
physical collocation in remote terminals
presents technical or security concerns
and, if so, whether these concerns
warrant modification of its collocation
rules. The Commission asked whether
incumbent LECs should be required to
provide requesting carriers with
demographic and other information
regarding particular remote terminals
similar to the information available
regarding incumbent LEC central
offices. Requesting carriers use
demographic and other information
obtained from incumbent LECs to
determine whether they wish to
collocate at particular remote terminals.
This proposed collection in the
Second Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (FCC 00–297) will be used
by the Commission, the state
commissions, and competitive carriers
to facilitate the deployment of advanced
services and other telecommunications
services in implementation of section
251(c)(6) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.

consent order — embodied in the
consent agreement — that would settle
these allegations.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 1, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments
electronically or in paper form.
Comments should refer to
‘‘DanaherMDS, File No. 091 0159’’ to

including your name and your state —
will be placed on the public record of
this proceeding, including on the
publicly accessible FTC website, at
(https://www.ftc.gov/os/
publiccomments.shtm).

sensitive personal information, such as
an individual’s Social Security Number;
date of birth; driver’s license number or
other state identification number, or
foreign country equivalent; passport
number; financial account number; or
credit or debit card number. Comments
also should not include any sensitive
health information, such as medical
records or other individually
identifiable health information. In
addition, comments should not include
any ‘‘[t]rade secret or any commercial or
financial information which is obtained
from any person and which is privileged
or confidential. . . .,’’ as provided in
Section 6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C.
46(f), and Commission Rule 4.10(a)(2),
16 CFR 4.10(a)(2). Comments containing
material for which confidential
treatment is requested must be filed in
paper form, must be clearly labeled
‘‘Confidential,’’ and must comply with
FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c).1

(Annex D), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW, Washington, DC 20580. The FTC is
requesting that any comment filed in
paper form be sent by courier or
overnight service, if possible, because
U.S. postal mail in the Washington area
and at the Commission is subject to
delay due to heightened security
precautions.
The Federal Trade Commission Act
(‘‘FTC Act’’) and other laws the
Commission administers permit the
collection of public comments to
consider and use in this proceeding as
appropriate. The Commission will
consider all timely and responsive
public comments that it receives,
whether filed in paper or electronic
form. Comments received will be
available to the public on the FTC
website, to the extent practicable, at
(https://www.ftc.gov/os/
publiccomments.shtm). As a matter of
discretion, the Commission makes every
effort to remove home contact
information for individuals from the
public comments it receives before
placing those comments on the FTC
website. More information, including
routine uses permitted by the Privacy
Act, may be found in the FTC’s privacy
policy, at (https://www.ftc.gov/ftc/
privacy.shtm).
The request will be granted or denied by the
Commission’s General Counsel, consistent with
applicable law and the public interest. See FTC
Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c).
