e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0422.
Title: Section 68.5, Waivers
(Application for Waivers of Hearing Aid
Compatibility Requirements).
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-
profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
(avg).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 30 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information
collection does not require the
collection of personal identifiable
information (PII) from individuals.
Needs and Uses: Telephone
manufacturers seeking a waiver of 47
CFR 68.4(a)(1), which requires that
certain telephones be hearing aid
compatible, must demonstrate that
compliance with the rule is
technologically infeasible or too costly.
Information is used by FCC staff to
determine whether to grant or dismiss
the request.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0967.
Title: Section 79.2, Accessibility of
Programming Providing Emergency
Information.
Form Number: Not applicable.

Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $22,500.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is an issue to the extent
that individuals’ and households’
information is contained in the OSCAR
database, which is covered under the
Commission’s system of records notice
(SORN), FCC/CIB–1, ‘‘Informal
Complaints and Inquiries.’’ The
Commission believes that it provides
sufficient safeguards to protect the
privacy of individuals who file
complaints under 47 CFR 79.2(c).
Privacy Impact Assessment: Under
development.
Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 79.2 is
designed to ensure that persons with
hearing and visual disabilities have
access to the critical details of
emergency information. The
Commission adopted the rules to assist
persons with hearing disabilities on
April 14, 2000, in the Second Report
and Order in MM Docket No. 95–176.
The Commission modified the rules to
assist persons with visual disabilities on
July 21, 2000, in the Report and Order
in MM Docket No. 99–339. As the
Commission noted in the previous PRA
submission, the Commission adopted its
rules for persons with different
disabilities at different times. It
previously provided for persons with
hearing disabilities in OMB Control No.
3060–0945; and for persons with visual
disabilities in OMB Control No. 3060–
0967. Because both sets of rules make
use of the same complaint procedures,
which are what triggered the PRA
submissions, the Commission
consolidated these two information
collections and discontinued OMB
information collection No. 3060–0945.
47 CFR 79.2(c) requires that each
complaint transmitted to the
Commission include the following: the
name of the video programming
distributor at issue; the date and time of
the omission of the emergency
information; and the type of emergency.
The Commission then notifies the video
programming distributor, which must
reply within 30 days.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0968.
Title: Slamming Complaint Form.
Form Number: FCC Form 501.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
entities; Not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 3,600.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 900 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is an issue to the extent
that individuals’ and households’
information is contained in the OSCAR
database, which is covered under the
Commission’s system of records notice
(SORN), FCC/CIB–1, ‘‘Informal
Complaints and Inquiries.’’ The
Commission believes that it provides
sufficient safeguards to protect the
privacy of individuals who file
complaints under 47 CFR 79.2(c).
Privacy Impact Assessment: Under
development.
Needs and Uses: On December 17,
1998, the Commission announced to the
public via news release its plan to
provide consumers with tools to better
protect themselves from telephone
related fraud, as well as offer consumers
an easy means to file complaints. On
December 23, 1998, the Commission
released a Second Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(FCC 98–334) adopting new rules to
prevent the unauthorized change by
telecommunications carriers of
consumers’ selections of
telecommunications service providers
(slamming), and revealing future
initiatives to protect consumers from
telephone related fraud. One of those
initiatives was the development of the
electronic slamming complaint form:
FCC Form 501. FCC Form 501,
Slamming Complaint Form, is devised
to ensure complete and efficient
submission of necessary information to
process slamming complaints. FCC
Form 501 remains available to
consumers electronically and in hard
copy. The Commission will use this
information to provide redress to
consumers and to act against companies
engaged in this illegal practice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
summary of the Commission’s Public
Notice in CC Docket No. 96–45, released
March 12, 2007 (DA 07–1239). The full
text of this document is available for
inspection and copying during normal
business hours in the FCC Reference
Center, Portals II, 445 12th St. SW.,
Room CY–A257, Washington, DC 20554.
The complete text of this document also

By this document, the Bureau seeks to
refresh the record on issues raised in the
Twelfth Report and Order, 65 FR 47941,
August 4, 2000, and Twenty-Fifth Report
and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, 68 FR 41936,
July 16, 2003, in the above proceeding
related to what constitutes a ‘‘near
reservation’’ area for federal Lifeline and
Link-Up support purposes. Because
comments on the issue were filed
several years ago, the passage of time
and intervening developments have
rendered the records developed by those
commenters stale. Moreover, some
issues raised by commenters may have
become moot or irrelevant in light of
intervening events. For these reasons,
the Bureau requests that parties refresh
the record with any new information or
arguments they believe to be relevant to
deciding the issues still pending. The
refreshed record will enable the
Commission to undertake appropriate
consideration of the issue of how best to
provide support through Lifeline and
Link-Up to ‘‘near reservation’’ areas.
2. In the Twelfth Report and Order,
the Commission adopted a definition of
‘‘tribal lands’’ that included
‘‘reservation’’ and ‘‘near reservation’’
areas, as defined, at that time, in
sections 20.1(v) and (r) of the Bureau of
PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM
36707
Indian Affairs (BIA) regulations.
Subsequently, the Commission became
aware that the term ‘‘near reservation’’
included wide geographic areas,
extending substantially beyond the
boundaries of reservations, that do not
possess the same characteristics that
warranted the targeting of support to
reservations. As a result, the
Commission issued an Order staying
implementation of the enhanced
Lifeline and Link-Up rules to the extent
that they apply to qualifying low-
income consumers located on ‘‘near
reservation’’ areas.
3. In the Further Notice
accompanying the Tribal Stay Order
and Further Notice, 65 FR 58721,
October 2, 2000, the Commission sought
additional comment on how to extend
the enhanced Lifeline and Link-Up
measures to qualifying low-income
consumers living in areas or
communities that are ‘‘near
reservations.’’ Specifically, the
Commission sought comment on how to
define geographic areas that are adjacent
to the reservations or are otherwise a
part of the reservation’s community of
interest, in a manner that is consistent
with its goal of targeting enhanced
Lifeline and Link-Up support to the
most underserved segments of the
Nation. To the extent that using the BIA
definition of ‘‘near reservations’’ to
target support as intended in the
Twelfth Report and Order was not
effective, the Commission sought
comment generally on how it might
achieve its goal of serving
geographically isolated, impoverished
areas that are characterized by low
subscribership.
4. On May 21, 2003, in the Twenty-
Fifth Order on Reconsideration, Report
and Order, and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission
again sought comment on potential
modifications to its rules regarding
availability of enhanced Federal Lifeline
and Link-Up assistance to qualifying
low-income consumers living ‘‘near
reservations.’’ In this follow-up, the
Commission noted that few commenters
filed in response to the 2000 Tribal Stay
Order and Further Notice.

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.415,
