Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2013 / Notices
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; individuals or
households.
Annual Number of Respondents and
Responses: 12,004 respondents; 24,000
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 30
minutes (.50 hours) to 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On-going
reporting requirement; One-time
reporting requirement; Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is Sec. 225 [47 U.S.C. 225]
Telecommunications Services for
Hearing-Impaired and Speech-Impaired
Individuals; The Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Public
Law 101–336, 104 Stat. 327, 366–69,
enacted on July 26, 1990.
Total Annual Burden: 18,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $600,000.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information
collection does not require the
collection of personally identifiable
information (PII) from individuals.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: In the Emergency
Interim Order (IP CTS Interim Order)
the Commission finds good cause to
adopt on an emergency basis interim
rules requiring each Internet Protocol
Captioned Telephone Service (IP CTS)
provider, in order to be eligible for
compensation from the Interstate
Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) Fund (Fund) for providing service
to each new IP CTS user to register each
new IP CTS user. As part of the
registration process, each IP CTS
provider must obtain from each user a
self-certification that (1) the user has a
hearing loss that necessitates IP CTS to
communicate in a manner that is
functionally equivalent to
communication by conventional voice
telephone users; (2) the user
understands that the captioning service
is provided by a live communications
assistant (CA); and (3) the user
understands that the cost of the IP CTS
calls is funded by the TRS Fund. Where
the consumer accepts IP CTS equipment
at a price below $75 from any source
other than a governmental program, the
IP CTS provider must also obtain from
the user a certification from an
independent, third-party professional
attesting to the same. IP CTS providers
are required to maintain the
confidentiality of the registration and
certification information that they
obtain, as well as the content of such
information, except as required by law.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:26 Feb 01, 2013
Jkt 229001
The Commission takes this action to
prevent the unnecessary subscription to
and use of the service by consumers
without a hearing loss that necessitates
the use of IP CTS to obtain functionally
equivalent telephone service. If left
unchecked, the TRS Fund that disburses
to IP CTS providers may be
compromised due to an unprecedented
growth in new IP CTS consumers. The
action taken in this IP CTS Interim
Order will enable the Commission to
better control the level of TRS
disbursements and protect the
programmatic, legal, and financial
integrity of the TRS program.
Conversely, failing to take immediate
action to stem such practices could well
threaten the availability of the IP CTS
service and other relay services that are
supported by the Fund for the benefit of
legitimate users.
The interim rules requiring providers
to register and obtain certification from
each new user will become effective
upon publication in the Federal
Register of a notice announcing the
approval of such requirements by the
Office of Management and Budget under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The interim rules will sunset on a
common date, which is 180 days after
the effective date for the interim rules
on registration and certification or on
the effective date of final rules on these
issues, whichever date comes sooner.
