information, which is covered under the
FCC’s system of records notice (SORN),
FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and
Inquiries.’’ As required by the Privacy
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also
published a SORN, FCC/CGB–1
‘‘Informal Complaints and Inquiries,’’ in
the Federal Register on December 15,
2009 (74 FR 66356) which became
effective on January 25, 2010.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The
Privacy Impact Assessment for Informal
Complaints and Inquiries was
completed on June 28, 2007. It may be
reviewed at <https://www.fcc.gov/omd/
privacyact/
Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html>. The
Commission is in the process of
updating the PIA to incorporate various
revisions made to the SORN.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeks to extend existing information
collection requirements in its closed
captioning rules (47 CFR 79.1), which
require that, with some exceptions, all
new video programming, and 75 percent
of ‘‘pre-rule’’ programming, be closed
captioned. The existing collections
include petitions by video programming
owners, producers and distributors for
exemptions from the closed captioning
rules, responses by viewers, and replies;
complaints by viewers alleging
violations of the closed captioning rules,
responses by video programming
distributors, and recordkeeping in
support of complaint responses; and
making video programming distributor
contact information available to viewers
in phone directories, on the
Commission’s Web site and the Web
sites of video programming distributors
(if they have them), and in billing
statements (to the extent video
programming distributors issue them).
In addition, the Commission seeks to
extend proposed information collection
requirements. Specifically, on July 21,
2005, the Commission released Closed
Captioning of Video Programming;
Telecommunications for the Deaf, Inc.
Petition for Rulemaking, CG Docket No.
05–231, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
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 these closed
captioning rules (47 CFR 79.1). 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 final required
amount of captioning post phase-in
(e.g., pre-rule programming) is not 100
percent. These proposed information
collection requirements remain
pending.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: Commercial
television broadcast stations and Class
A television broadcast stations are both
required to file FCC Form 398. FCC
Form 398 is a standardized form that:
(a) Provides a consistent format for
reporting by all licensees, and
(b) Facilitates efforts by the public
and the FCC to monitor compliance
with the Children’s Television Act.
These commercial television
broadcast station licensees and the Class
A television broadcast station licensees
both use FCC Form 398:
(a) To identify the individual station,
and
(b) To identify the children’s
educational and informational
programs, which the station broadcasts
on both the regularly scheduled and
preempted core programming, to meet
the station’s obligation under the
Children’s Television Act of 1990
(CTA).
Each quarter, the licensee is required
to place in its public inspection file a
‘‘Children’s Television Programming
Report’’ and to file the FCC Form 398
each quarter with the Commission. The
licensee must also complete a
‘‘Preemption Report’’ for each
preempted core program during the
quarter. This ‘‘Preemption Report’’
requests information on the date of each
preemption, if the program was
rescheduled, the date and time the
program was aired, and the reason for
the preemption.
