Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 17, 2017 / Notices
On September 21, 2004, the
Commission released the Safe Harbor
Order establishing a limited safe harbor
in which callers will not be liable for
placing autodialed and prerecorded
message calls to numbers ported from a
wireline service to a wireless service
within the previous 15 days. The
Commission also amended its existing
National Do-Not-Call Registry safe
harbor to require telemarketers to scrub
their lists against the Registry every 31
days.
On June 17, 2008, in accordance with
the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of
2007, the Commission revised its rules
to minimize the inconvenience to
consumers of having to re-register their
preferences not to receive telemarketing
calls and to further the underlying goal
of the National Do-Not-Call Registry to
protect consumer privacy rights. The
Commission released a Report and
Order in CG Docket No. 02–278, FCC
08–147, amending the Commission’s
rules under the TCPA to require sellers
and/or telemarketers to honor
registrations with the National Do-NotCall Registry so that registrations would
not automatically expire based on the
then-current five year registration
period. Specifically, the Commission
modified § 64.1200(c)(2) of its rules to
require sellers and/or telemarketers to
honor numbers registered on the
Registry indefinitely or until the number
is removed by the database
administrator or the registration is
cancelled by the consumer.
On February 15, 2012, the
Commission released a Report and
Order in CG Docket No. 02–278, FCC
12–21, revising its rules to: (1) Require
prior express written consent for all
autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing
calls to wireless numbers and for all
prerecorded telemarketing calls to
residential lines; (2) eliminate the
established business relationship
exception to the consent requirement for
prerecorded telemarketing calls to
residential lines; (3) require
telemarketers to include an automated,
interactive opt-out mechanism in all
prerecorded telemarketing calls, to
allow consumers more easily to opt out
of future robocalls during a robocall
itself; and (4) require telemarketers to
comply with the 3% limit on abandoned
calls during each calling campaign, in
order to discourage intrusive calling
campaigns. Finally, the Commission
also exempted from the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act requirements
prerecorded calls to residential lines
made by health care-related entities
governed by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of
1996.

On August 11, 2016, the Commission
released a Report and Order in CG
Docket No. 02–278, FCC 16–99,
adopting rules to implement the TCPA
amendments Congress enacted in
Section 301 of the Bipartisan Budget Act
of 2015. The Commission adopted rules
implementing the law’s exception from
the prior express consent requirement
for autodialed or prerecorded calls to
wireless numbers ‘‘solely to collect a
debt owed to or guaranteed by the
United States,’’ and placing limits on
the number and duration of autodialed
or prerecorded calls to wireless numbers
‘‘to collect a debt owed or guaranteed by
the United States.’’ Federal government
callers and contractors making these
calls on behalf of the federal
government, without prior express
consent of the called party, may call the
person or persons responsible for paying
the debt at one of three phone numbers
specified in the rules, may call three
times during a 30-day period, may call
between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local
time at the debtor’s location, may not
call once the debtor requests that the
calls cease, and must transfer the stopcall request to the new servicer if the
debt servicer changes. Callers must
notify debtors of their right to request
that no further autodialed or
prerecorded calls be made to the debtor
for the life of the debt. Prerecorded calls
may not exceed 60 seconds, excluding
required disclosures and stop-calling
instructions. Text messages are limited
to 160 characters, including required
disclosures, which may be sent in a
separate text message. Calls may be
made (1) once the debt is delinquent
and, (2) if the debt is not yet delinquent,
then after one of the following events
and in the 30 days before one of the
following events: The end of a grace,
deferment, or forbearance period;
expiration of an alternative payment
arrangement; or occurrence of a similar
time-sensitive event or deadline
affecting the amount or timing of
payments due.

which allows the Commission to better
manage the collection of informal
consumer complaints. Informal
consumer complaints consist of
informal consumer complaints,
inquiries and comments. This revised
information collection requests OMB
approval for the addition of a layer of
consumer reported complaint
information related to the FCC’s
disability accessibility requirements for
video programming digital apparatus
and navigation device user interfaces
(e.g., TV and set-top box controls,
menus, and program guides). The
information collection burdens
associated with these complaints is
being transferred from OMB Control
Number 3060–1203 to OMB Control
Number 3060–0874 to enable consumers
to file complaints related to the
Commission’s user interfaces
accessibility requirements through the
Commission’s online complaint portal.

76220, Nov. 1, 2016, FCC 16–107, rel.
Aug. 25, 2016). The collection requires
commercial television stations to place
in their online public inspection file a
copy of every Shared Service Agreement
for the station (with the substance of
oral agreements reported in writing),
regardless of whether the agreement
involves commercial television stations
in the same market or in different
markets, with confidential or
proprietary information redacted where
appropriate. For purposes of this
collection, a Shared Service Agreement
is any agreement or series of agreements
in which (1) a station provides any
station-related services, including, but
not limited to, administrative, technical,
sales, and/or programming support, to a
station that is not directly or indirectly
under common de jure control
permitted under the Commission’s
regulations; or (2) stations that are not
directly or indirectly under common de
jure control permitted under the
Commission’s regulations collaborate to
provide or enable the provision of
station-related services, including, but
not limited to, administrative, technical,
sales, and/or programming support, to
one or more of the collaborating

Needs and Uses:
On October 29, 2013, in document FCC 13-138, Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the User Interfaces
Accessibility Order), MB Docket Nos. 12-108, 12-107, published at 78 FR
77210, December 20, 2013, the Commission adopted rules implementing
sections 204 and 205 of the CVAA related to making accessible the user
interfaces, text menus and guides of digital apparatus designed to
receive or play back video programming and navigation devices for the
display or selection of multichannel video programming. On November 20,
2015, in document FCC 15-156, the Commission released a Second Report
and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Second Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (the Second User Interfaces Accessibility Order),
MB Docket No. 12-108, published at 81 FR 5921, February 14, 2016,

The Commission is submitting this revised information collection to
transfer certain information collection burdens associated with this
OMB Control Number 3060-1203 to OMB Control Number 3060-0874. This
transfer is being made because the Commission's online consumer
complaint portal, which is part of the information collection contained
in OMB Control Number 3060-0874, is being revised to enable consumers
to file complaints related to the Commission's user interfaces
accessibility requirements through the Commission's online complaint

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 updated
system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints,
Inquiries and Requests for Dispute Assistance.'' As required by the
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also published a SORN, FCC/
CGB-1 ``Informal Complaints, Inquiries, and Requests for Dispute
Assistance,'' in the Federal Register on August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48152)
which became effective on September 24, 2014.
Privacy Impact Assessment: The FCC completed a Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA) on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at https://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy-Impact-Assessment.html. The
Commission is in the process of updating the PIA to incorporate various
revisions to it as a result of revisions to the SORN.
Needs and Uses: The Commission consolidated all of the FCC informal
consumer complaint intake into an online consumer complaint portal,
which allows the Commission to better manage the collection of informal
consumer complaints. Informal consumer complaints consist of informal
consumer complaints, inquiries and comments. This revised information
collection requests OMB approval for the addition of a layer of
consumer reported complaint information related to the FCC's disability
accessibility requirements for video programming digital apparatus and
navigation device user interfaces (e.g., TV and set-top box controls,
menus, and program guides). The information collection burdens
associated with these complaints is being transferred from OMB Control
Number 3060-1203 to OMB Control Number 3060-0874 to enable consumers to
file complaints related to the Commission's user interfaces
accessibility requirements through the Commission's online complaint
portal.
