Commission will submit this
information collection after this 60 day
comment period to the OMB.
The Commission adopted accounting
rules that require carriers to account for
adverse federal antitrust judgments and
post-judgment special charges. With
regard to settlements of such lawsuits
there will be a presumption that carriers
can recover the portion of the settlement
that represents the avoidable costs of
litigation; provided that the carrier
makes a required showing. To receive
recognition of its avoided cost of
litigation a carrier must demonstrate, in
a request for special relief, the avoided
costs of litigation by showing the
amount corresponding to the additional
litigation expenses discounted to
present value, that the carrier
reasonably estimates it would have paid
if it had not settled. Settlement costs in
excess of the avoided costs of litigation
are presumed not recoverable unless a
carrier rebuts that presumption by
showing the basic factors that enticed
the carrier to settle and demonstrating
that ratepayers benefited from the
settlement.

Commission (FCC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
burdens, invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995. An agency may not

performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before June 13, 2012. If

Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; individuals or
households; and not-for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 12,609 respondents; 78,633
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes (0.25 hours) to 10 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual and
on occasion reporting requirements;
third party disclosure requirement;
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this obligation is found at
section 713 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 613, and
implemented at 47 CFR 79.1.
Total Annual Burden: 198,049 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $35,505,816.00.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is an issue to the extent
that individuals and households
provide personally identifiable
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-ImpactAssessment.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.
