information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;

further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0761.
Title: Section 79.1, Closed Captioning
of Video Programming, CG Docket No.
05–231.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Individuals or
households; and Not-for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 59,995 respondents; 512,831
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25
(15 minutes) to 60 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirements; Third party
disclosure requirement; Recordkeeping
requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this obligation is found at
section 713 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 613, and
implemented at 47 CFR 79.1.
Total Annual Burden: 702,562 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $35,638,596.
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 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,
published at 79 FR 48152, which
became effective on September 24, 2014.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeks to extend existing information
collection requirements in its closed
captioning rules (47 CFR 79.1), which
require that, with some exceptions, all
new video programming, and 75 percent
of ’’pre-rule’’ programming, be closed
captioned. The existing collections
include petitions by video programming
providers, producers, and owners for
exemptions from the closed captioning
rules, responses by commenters, and
replies; complaints by viewers alleging
violations of the closed captioning rules,
responses by video programming
distributors (VPDs) and video
programmers, recordkeeping in support
of complaint responses, and compliance
ladder obligations in the event of a
pattern or trend of violations; records of
monitoring and maintenance activities;
caption quality best practices

procedures; making video programming
distributor contact information available
to viewers in phone directories, on the
Commission’s Web site and the Web
sites of video programming distributors
(if they have them), and in billing
statements (to the extent video
programming distributors issue them);
and video programmers filing contact
information and compliance
certifications with the Commission.
On February 19, 2016, the
Commission adopted the Closed
Captioning Quality Second Report and
Order, published at 81 FR 57473,
August 23, 2016, amending its rules to
allocate the responsibilities of VPDs and
video programmers with respect to the
provision and quality of closed
captioning. The Commission took the
following actions, among others:
(a) Required video programmers to
file certifications with the Commission
that (1) the video programmer (i) is in
compliance with the rules requiring the
inclusion of closed captions, and (ii)
either is in compliance with the
captioning quality standards or has
adopted and is following related Best
Practices; or (2) is exempt from the
captioning obligation and specifies the
exemption claimed.
(b) Revised the procedures for
receiving, serving, and addressing
television closed captioning complaints
in accordance with a burden-shifting
compliance model.
(c) Established a compliance ladder
for the Commission’s television closed
captioning quality requirements.
(d) Required VPDs to use the
Commission’s web form when providing
contact information to the VPD registry.
(e) Required video programmers to
register their contact information with
the Commission for the receipt and
handling of written closed captioning
complaints.

Title: 46 CFR part 565—Controlled
Carriers.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0060
(Expires December 31, 2017).
Abstract: Section 9 of the Shipping
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40701–40706,
requires that the Commission monitor
the practices of controlled carriers to
ensure that they do not maintain rates
or charges in their tariffs and service
contracts that are below a level that is
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
just and reasonable; nor establish,
maintain or enforce unjust or
unreasonable classifications, rules or
regulations in those tariffs or service
contracts which result or are likely to
result in the carriage or handling of
cargo at rates or charges that are below
a just and reasonable level. 46 CFR part
565 establishes the method by which
the Commission determines whether a
particular ocean common carrier is a
controlled carrier subject to section 9 of
the Shipping Act of 1984. When a
government acquires a controlling
interest in an ocean common carrier, or
when a controlled carrier newly enters
a United States trade, the Commission’s
rules require that such a carrier notify
the Commission of these events.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to this information collection, and it is
being submitted for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
uses these notifications in order to
effectively discharge its statutory duty
to determine whether a particular ocean
common carrier is a controlled carrier
and therefore subject to the
requirements of section 9 of the
Shipping Act of 1984.
Frequency: The submission of
notifications from controlled carriers is
not assigned to a specific time frame by
the Commission; they are submitted as
circumstances warrant. The
Commission only requires notification
when a majority portion of an ocean
common carrier becomes owned or
controlled by a government, or when a
controlled carrier newly begins
operation in any United States trade.
Type of Respondents: Controlled
carriers are ocean common carriers
which are owned or controlled by a
government.
Number of Annual Respondents: The
Commission cannot anticipate when a
new controlled carrier may enter the
United States trade or when ownership
or control of a carrier will change so that
notification is required. Over the past
three years, the Commission has
received, on average, one notification
per year.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time for each notification is 2
hours, and multiple responses may be
filed each year.
Total Annual Burden: For purposes of
calculating total annual burden, the
Commission assumes one response
annually. The Commission thus
estimates the total annual burden to be
PO 00000

2 hours (1 response × 2 hours per
response).
