following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

does not display a currently valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:19 May 06, 2010
Jkt 220001
OMB Control Number: 3060–1135.
Title: Revisions to Rules Authorizing
the operation of Low Power Auxiliary
Stations (Including Wireless
Microphones).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for–
profit, not–for–profit institutions, and
state local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 5,100 respondents; 127,500
responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .25
hours (15 minutes).
Frequency of Response: Third party
disclosure requirements (disclosure and
labeling).
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C.
sections 151, 152, 154(i), 154(j), 301,
302(a), 303, 304 307, 308, 309, 316, 332,
336 and 337.
Total Annual Burden: 31,875 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $1,625,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality
since this a third party disclosure and
labeling requirement.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this revision to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) after
this comment period in order to obtain
the full three year clearance from them.
The Commission is requesting a revision
of this collection which eliminates the
early clearing requirement burden as it
will be unnecessary after June 12, 2010
while keeping the disclosure and
labeling requirements that would allow
the Commission to clear the 700 MHz
band of wireless microphones and
provide them a home in the core TV
spectrum, where many wireless
microphones are already operating.
Therefore, the Commission is reducing
the total annual burden for this
collection by 1,049 hours (program
change).
The point–of–sale disclosure
requirement is necessary for a
successful transition of wireless
microphones out of the 700 MHz band.
The Commission anticipates that many
wireless microphone users currently
operating in the 700 MHz band will
have to purchase or lease new
equipment capable of operating in the
core TV spectrum. The point–of–sale
disclosure requirement will help these
consumers make an educated decision
as they obtain new microphones, and it
will help them operate in the core TV
spectrum without causing interference
to other services in the spectrum.
Further, a label on 700 MHz band
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
wireless microphones bound for export
will help to ensure that these wireless
microphones do not continue to be
made available for use in the United
States, in contravention of our efforts to
remove them from the 700 MHz band.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
[CG Docket No. 10–51; DA 10–314]
Structure and Practices of the Video
Relay Service Program
AGENCY: Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: In this document, the
Commission, via the Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau (Bureau),
addresses the compensability from the
Interstate TRS Fund (Fund) of certain
types of calls made through Video Relay
Service (VRS), a form of
Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS). First, the Bureau emphasizes that
VRS calls made by or to a VRS
provider’s employee, or the employee of
a provider’s subcontractor, are not
eligible for compensation from the TRS
Fund on a per-minute basis from the
Fund, but rather as business expenses.
Second, the Bureau emphasizes that
VRS calls placed for the purpose of
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

generating compensable minutes are
not, and never have been, compensable
from the Fund. Finally, the Bureau
emphasizes that two categories of calls
do not meet the definition of TRS or
otherwise are not compensable from the
Fund under plain statutory language: (1)
VRS Voice Carry Over (VCO) used to
connect two hearing users and (2) VRS
calls used to connect two users who are
both outside the United States. This
action is necessary to explain that
certain types of TRS minutes are not
compensable from the Fund. The
intended impact of this action is to
enhance the integrity of the TRS
program.
DATES:
Effective February 25, 2010.
