non-compliant devices from being
distributed to the general public,
thereby reducing the potential for
harmful interference being caused to

Service and Border Patrol electronically
or in a few cases paper format. The FCC
Form 740 is not submitted to the
Federal Communications Commission.
When a violation is discovered, the FCC

suspected of illegal entry, the FCC
works with the U.S. Customs Service to
resolve the issue.

SUMMARY:

Synopsis
The April 2012 Public Notice
addressed unresolved petitions for
exemption that were filed before
passage of the Twenty-First Century
Communications and Video
Accessibility Act (CVAA) on October 8,
2010. Although some of these petitions
were previously placed on public
notice, no decision to grant or to deny
was ever made regarding these petitions.
Because considerable time had passed
since many of these petitions were first
filed, and various circumstances
including, but not limited to, the
financial status of the petitioners and
the cost of captioning may have
changed, the Bureau required each
petitioner whose petition was listed in
the April 2012 Public Notice to do one
of the following by July 5, 2012: (1) File
an affirmation with the Commission that
its previously submitted petition and
supporting information were accurate
and up-to-date; (2) file updated
information in accordance with the
Commission’s rules to support its claim
that captioning its program(s) would be
economically burdensome; or (3)
withdraw its previously submitted
petition. The April 2012 Public Notice
alerted petitioners that if they did not
take one of the steps listed above by July
5, 2012, their petitions would be
dismissed without prejudice on July 5,
2012. The Bureau sent a copy of the
April 2012 Public Notice, along with
instructions on filing updated
information, by certified mail, return
receipt requested, to each petitioner at
its last known address.
The petitioners listed in the document
DA 12–1833 Appendix did not take one
of the above steps by July 5, 2012;
therefore, their respective petitions were
dismissed on July 5, 2012. Accordingly,
these petitioners were required to begin
captioning their programs on July 6,
2012. In this regard, the Bureau notes
that if the programming that was the
subject of a petition listed herein aired
without captions after the dismissal date
of July 5, 2012, the video programming
distributor that aired such programming
may be in violation of the Commission’s
closed captioning rules from that date
up until the time that a new petition is
filed.
If any petitioner listed in DA 12–1833
filed a new petition after July 6, 2012,
such petition is considered pending as
of the date it was received at the
Commission. While a petition for
exemption is pending, the video
programming that is subject to the
petition is exempt from the closed
captioning requirements.
