Download as PDF erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 87 / Friday, May 4, 2012 / Notices Accordingly, in order to ensure that information provided in each petition is current and accurate, the Bureau requires each petitioner whose petition is listed in document DA 12–514 to do one of the following by July 5, 2012: (1) File an affirmation with the FCC that its previously submitted petition and supporting information is accurate and up-to-date; (2) file updated information in accordance with the factors listed below to support its claim that captioning its program(s) would be economically burdensome; or (3) withdraw its previously submitted petition. Any petitioner listed in document DA 12–514 that does not take one of the steps listed above by July 5, 2012, will have its pending petition dismissed without prejudice on July 5, 2012. A petitioner that is interested in continuing to request a closed captioning exemption for its programming must include up-to-date evidence, supported by affidavit, demonstrating that it would be economically burdensome to provide closed captioning on the specific programming for which an exemption is sought. Specifically, each petition should contain current and detailed documentation, in accordance with the original factors outlined in section 713(e) of the Act and § 79.1(f) of Commission’s rules, to support a claim that providing closed captions would be economically burdensome (would result in a ‘‘significant difficulty or expense’’) as defined by the following criteria: (1) The nature and cost of the closed captions for the programming; (2) the impact on the operation of the provider or program owner; (3) the financial resources of the provider or program owner; and (4) the type of operations of the provider or program owner. In order to make the above showing that providing captioning would be economically burdensome, each petitioner must: • Provide documentation of its financial status sufficient to demonstrate its inability to afford closed captioning—for example, profit and loss statements or bank statement information. (This documentation should not just include the resources devoted to or the costs associated with the television program(s) at issue); • Provide information about the costs of captioning the specific program for which the exemption is sought; • Verify that it has sought closed captioning assistance (e.g., funding, services) from its video programming distributor and note the extent to which such assistance has been provided or rejected; VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:21 May 03, 2012 Jkt 226001 • Verify that it has sought additional sponsorship sources or other sources of revenue for captioning, and show that, even if these efforts have not successfully produced assistance, it does not otherwise have the means to provide captioning for its programming; and • Provide information on the type of its operation(s) and the impact that providing captions would have on its programming activities, for example, the extent to which its programming might not be shown if it is required to provide captions. In addition, each petitioner may describe other factors that it deems relevant to an exemption determination, as well as any alternatives that could be a reasonable substitute for the closed captioning requirements. Each petition should also contain a specific list of names of the program(s) for which the petitioner is seeking an exemption. Finally, as noted above, each petition must be supported by an affidavit. Failure to support an exemption request with adequate explanation and evidence to make these showings, supported by an affidavit, will result in dismissal of the request. Each updated petition that provides sufficient information will be placed on public notice to allow the public to comment on the merits of the petition. After giving the public an opportunity to submit comments, the Bureau will conduct an individual review of each petition to determine the extent to which providing captioning would be economically burdensome for the petitioner, based on information provided in the petition and any comments received, and will issue an order either granting or denying the petition.
