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 under 3060–1148
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.
