Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 4, 2021 / Notices
between hearing aids and wireless
handsets and made other corresponding
and implementation changes. In
addition, the Commission revised the
information that handset manufacturers
and service providers must include on
hearing aid-compatible wireless handset
package labels and in the related
package inserts or user manuals. The
Commission revised the labeling rule in
order to streamline the rule and remove
outdated requirements. The new rule
requires that the package label provide
the volume control capabilities of a
hearing aid-compatible handset that
meets volume control requirements, and
it maintains the requirement that a
hearing aid-compatible handset’s
package label state that the handset is
hearing aid-compatible. The new rule
still requires hearing aid-compatible
handsets to list the handset’s hearing
aid-compatible rating, but moves the
location in which it is required to be
listed from the package label to the
package insert or user manual. The
other requirements for package inserts
and user manuals have not changed, but
the requirements have been reorganized
to make them easier to follow. The
Commission’s labeling revisions
continue to allow consumers to access
the information that they need to
understand the hearing aid
compatibility of handsets they are
considering for purchase. At the same
time, the labeling revisions give handset
manufacturers and service providers
flexibility in designing package labels
and conveying supplemental
information.
The Report and Order also revised
website posting requirements for
handset manufacturers and service
providers. The revised rule requires
handset manufacturers and service
providers to post to their publicly
accessible websites the technical
standard used to determine hearing aid
compatibility in addition to the
information that handset manufacturers
and service providers are presently
required to post. Since handset
manufacturers and service providers are
already required to include the
technical standard used to determine
hearing aid compatibility in package
inserts or user manuals for hearing aidcompatible handsets, this change will
not substantially impact the existing
paperwork burden estimates that OMB
has already approved for this
information collection. Further, the
website posting requirement has been
revised to eliminate the requirement
that service providers post to their
publicly accessible websites the
different levels of functionality of the

hearing aid-compatible handsets that
they offer to the public. This change
offsets any burden added by the
requirement that service providers post
the technical standard used to
determine hearing aid compatibility.
Finally, the Report and Order
addressed the status reporting and
certification requirements for handset
manufacturers and service providers.
The Report and Order revised the dates
that service providers must file their
FCC Form 855 certifications and
handset manufacturers must file their
FCC Form 655 status reports. The forms
were due January 15 and July 15 each
year, respectfully, and now are due by
January 31 and July 31. These changes
were made to accommodate Federal
holidays at the start of January and July
and to make sure the forms contain
information for the full preceding 12month periods. The Commission uses
these forms as the principal way to
ensure compliance with its wireless
hearing aid compatibility requirements.
The Commission is also revising the
forms to reflect the Commission’s
current hearing aid compatibility de
minimis provisions and to reflect the
Commission’s new mailing address.
The changes the Commission is
making will not affect the number of
respondents or responses, burden hours,
or costs presently approved by OMB for
this information collection. The
Commission requests that OMB approve
the proposed revisions to the currently
approved information collection in
order to implement the changes the
Commission adopted in the Report and
Order. These changes benefit handset
manufacturers and service providers by
reducing regulatory burden while
continuing to ensure that the
Commission can fulfill its statutory
obligation to monitor compliance with
its hearing aid compatibility rules and
make more complete and accessible
information available to consumers. All
other paperwork burden requirements
previously approved by OMB for this
information collection remain
unchanged.
