SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document announces that OMB
approved the information collection
requirements in revised §§ 20.19(e), (h),
and (i) on June 25, 2019. Revised
§ 20.19(e) addresses the reporting and
certification requirements applicable to
de minimis wireless service providers.
Revised § 20.19(h) sets forth service

retention obligations and revised
§ 20.19(i) sets forth service provider
annual certification requirements. The
Commission adopted these revised rules

published at 83 FR 63098 on December
7, 2018 (Report and Order).
The Report and Order provides that
the Bureau will publish a document in
the Federal Register announcing
compliance dates for revised §§ 20.19(e),
(h), and (i) once OMB approval is
obtained for the paperwork burden
associated with these sections. Further,
the Report and Order states that the
Bureau will revise § 20.19(m) once OMB
approval is obtained for §§ 20.19(e), (h),
and (i) and a compliance date for these
sections is established. Section 20.19(m)
states that compliance with the
paperwork obligations of §§ 20.19(e),
(h), and (i) is not required until OMB
approval is obtained and a compliance
date is established. The other rule
amendments that the Commission
adopted in the Report and Order did not
require OMB approval and compliance
with those rule sections was required as
of January 7, 2019. See Report and
Order at 83 FR 63098 (Dec. 7, 2018).
With respect to §§ 20.19(e) and (h),
service providers must be in compliance
with these sections by the compliance
date set out above, except to the extent
that these sections reference the
§ 20.19(i) certification requirement.
With respect to the § 20.19(i)
certification requirement, service
providers may begin filing their
certifications on the compliance date
announced above and must have their
certifications filed with the Commission
within 30 days of that date. Service
providers will be using new electronic
FCC Form 855 to make their
certifications. The OMB approved
instructions for how to fill out and file
the electronic FCC Form 855
certification will be available on the
hearing aid compatibility section of the
FCC website starting on the compliance
date listed above. We remind service
providers that the initial certifications

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the Commission is notifying the public
that it received final OMB approval on
June 25, 2019, for the information
collection requirements contained in the
revisions to §§ 20.19(e), (h), and (i).
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
current, valid OMB Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Number for
this information collection is 3060–
0999.
The foregoing notice is required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, October 1, 1995,
and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens
and costs for the respondents are as
follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0999.
OMB Approval Date: June 25, 2019.
OMB Expiration Date: June 30, 2022.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 934 respondents; 934
responses.
Estimated Time per Response:
13.9710921 hours per response
(average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and annual reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirement and thirdparty disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 303(r),
and 610.
Total Annual Burden: 13,049 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Information requested in the reports and
certifications may include confidential
information. However, covered entities
are allowed to request that such
materials submitted to the Commission
be withheld from public inspection.
Needs and Uses: In the Report and
Order, the Commission revised the
information that wireless service
providers must post on their publicly
accessible websites concerning the
hearing aid compatibility of the
handsets that they offer and required
service providers to retain this
information on their websites for a
period of time for those handsets that a
service provider stops offering. The
Commission took these steps to improve
the information that is available to
consumers about the hearing aid
compatibility of wireless handsets
offered by service providers and to make
sure that consumers have access to this
information for handsets that they might
be using but are no longer being offered
by their service provider. Further, the
Commission reduced regulatory burden
by eliminating the requirement that
service providers annually file
electronic FCC Form 655 and replaced
this requirement with an annual
streamlined certification requirement to
be completed using the Commission’s
new electronic FCC Form 855. Handset
manufacturers, however, will continue
to annually file electronic FCC Form
655. Electronic FCC Forms 655 and 855
are the principle means by which the
Commission ensures that handset
manufacturers and service providers are
in compliance with the Commission’s
hearing aid compatibility provisions.

fill out and file the electronic FCC Form 855 certification will be
available on the hearing aid compatibility section of the FCC website
starting on the compliance date listed above. We remind service
providers that the initial certifications
[[Page 37592]]
that they will be filing cover the 2018 reporting period (i.e., from
