authority for this information collection
is contained in Sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), and
719 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),
154(j), and 620.
Total Annual Burden: 5,850 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is an issue to the extent
that individuals and households
provide personally identifiable
information (PII), which is covered
under the FCC’s system of records
notice (SORN), FCC/CGB–3, ‘‘National
Deaf-Blind Equipment distribution
Program.’’ As required by the Privacy
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also
published a SORN, FCC/CGB–3
‘‘National Deaf-Blind Equipment
Distribution Program,’’ in the Federal
Register on January 19, 2012 (77 FR
2721) which became effective on
February 28, 2012. Also, the
Commission is in the process of
preparing the new privacy impact
assessment (PIA) related to the PII
covered by these information
collections, as required by OMB’s
Memorandum M–03–22 (September 26,
2003) and by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C.
552a.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The
Commission is in the process of
preparing the new privacy impact
assessment (PIA) related to the PII
covered by these information
collections, as required by OMB’s
Memorandum M–03–22 (September 26,
2003) and by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C.
552a.
Needs and Uses: On April 6, 2011, in
document FCC 11–56, the Commission
released a Report and Order adopting
final rules to implement section 719 of
the Communications Act of 1934 (the
Act), as amended, which was added to
the Act by the ‘‘Twenty-First Century
Communications and Video
Accessibility Act of 2010’’ (CVAA). See
Public Law 111–260, § 105. Section 719
of the Act authorizes up to $10 million
annually from the Interstate
Telecommunications Relay Service
Fund (TRS Fund) to support eligible
programs that distribute equipment
designed to make telecommunications
service, Internet access service, and
advanced communications accessible by
low-income individuals who are deafblind. Specifically, the rules adopted in
document FCC 11–56 established the
National Deaf-Blind Equipment
Distribution Program (NDBEDP) as a
pilot program. The rules adopted in
document FCC 11–56 have the
following information collection
requirements:
(a) State equipment distribution
programs, other public programs, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
private entities may submit applications
for NDBEDP certification to the
Commission. For each state, the
Commission certifies a single program
as the sole authorized entity to
participate in the NDBEDP and receive
reimbursement from the TRS Fund.
(b) Each program certified under the
NDBEDP must submit certain programrelated data electronically to the
Commission, as instructed by the
NDBEDP Administrator, every six
months, commencing with the start of
the pilot program.
(c) Each program certified under the
NDBEDP must retain all records
associated with the distribution of
equipment and provision of related
services under the NDBEDP for two
years following the termination of the
pilot program.
(d) Each program certified under the
NDBEDP must obtain verification that
NDBEDP applicants meet the definition
of an individual who is deaf-blind.
(e) Each program certified under the
NDBEDP must obtain verification that
NDBEDP applicants meet the income
eligibility requirements.
(f) Programs certified under the
NDBEDP are reimbursed for the cost of
equipment that has been distributed to
eligible individuals and authorized
related services, up to the state’s
funding allotment under this program.
Within 30 days after the end of each sixmonth period of the Fund Year, each
program certified under the NDBEDP
pilot must submit documentation that
supports its claim for reimbursement of
the reasonable costs of equipment and
related services.
On March 20, 2012 in document DA
12–430, the Commission released an
Order to conditionally waive the
requirement in section (f), above, for
NDBEDP certified programs to submit
reimbursement claims at the end of each
six-month period of the TRS Fund Year
to permit certified programs to submit
reimbursement claims as frequently as
monthly. Each certified program that
wishes to take advantage of this waiver
to elect a monthly or quarterly
reimbursement schedule, must notify
the TRS Fund Administrator of its
election at the start of each Fund Year,
and must maintain that schedule for the
duration of the Year.
