submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should

Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 303 and
613.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: On March 3, 2011,
the Commission released a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), FCC 11–
36, in the Communications and Video
Accessibility Act (CVAA) Video
Description proceeding, MB Docket No.
11–43. The NPRM proposed to reinstate
the Commission’s video description
rules adopted in 2000. On April 22,
2011, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) pre-approved the
information collection requirements
contained in the proposed rules. On
August 25, 2011, the Commission
released a Report and Order, FCC 11–
126, in the CVAA Video Description
proceeding, MB Docket No. 11–43. The
Reported and Order adopted the
proposed information collection
requirements without change. The final
rules were codified at 47 CFR 79.3. On
September 8, 2011, OMB issued its final
approval for the information collection
requirements. As discussed below, the
information collection requirements
include (1) video programming provider
petitions for exemption based on
‘‘economic burden’’ and (2) non-form
consumer complaints alleging violations
of the video description rules. On June
25, 2012, the Commission received
OMB approval for the removal of a
portion of the burden hours and costs
that were approved under3060–1148
and placed into collection 3060–0874
(relating to the FCC Form 2000). This
modification was due to the filing of
complaints alleging violations of the
video description rules now being filed
via FCC Form 2000C.
Video description is the insertion of
audio narrated descriptions of a
television program’s key visual elements
into natural pauses in the program’s
dialogue, makes video programming
more accessible to individuals who are
blind or visually impaired. In 2000, the
Commission adopted rules requiring
certain broadcasters and MVPDs to carry
programming with video description.
The United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit vacated
the rules due to insufficient authority
soon after their initial adoption. As
directed by the CVAA, the
Commission’s Report and Order
reinstated the video description rules,
with certain modifications, effective
October 8, 2011. The reinstated rules

require large-market broadcast affiliates
of the top four national networks and
multichannel video programming
distributor (‘‘MVPD’’) systems with
more than 50,000 subscribers to provide
video description.

Uniform Interagency Consumer
Compliance Rating System
Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC).
ACTION: Notice; final guidance.
AGENCY:
The Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC), on behalf of its members, is
revising the Uniform Interagency
Consumer Compliance Rating System,
more commonly known as the CC
Rating System. The agencies comprising
the FFIEC are the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB), the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit
Union Administration (NCUA), the
Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), and the State Liaison
Committee (SLC) (Agencies). The FFIEC
promotes compliance with federal
consumer protection laws and
regulations through each agency’s
supervisory and outreach programs.
The CC Rating System revisions
reflect the regulatory, examination
(supervisory), technological, and market
changes that have occurred in the years
since the original rating system was
established in 1980. The revisions are
designed to better reflect current
consumer compliance supervisory
approaches and to more fully align the
CC Rating System with the Agencies’
current risk-based, tailored examination
processes. The CC Rating System is
being published after consideration of
comments received from the public.
DATES: Effective March 31, 2017.
