Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.

Total Annual Burden: 39,350 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $74,100.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will use the information submitted
by a digital apparatus manufacturer or other party to determine whether
it is achievable for digital apparatus to be fabricated so that control
of appropriate built-in apparatus functions are accessible to and
usable by individuals who are blind or visually impaired or whether it
is achievable to comply with the information, documentation, and
training requirements. The Commission will use the information
submitted by an Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) or
navigation device manufacturer or other party to determine whether it
is achievable for on-screen text menus and guides provided by
navigation devices for the display or selection of multichannel video
programming to be audibly accessible in real time upon request by
individuals who are blind or visually impaired or whether it is
achievable to comply with the information, documentation, and training
requirements. Consumers will use the information provided by
manufacturers of digital apparatus on the full functionalities of
digital apparatus, such as instructions and product information, as
well as information provided by manufacturers and MVPDs in accordance
with the information, documentation, and training requirements, in
order to have accessible information and support on how to use the
device. Consumers will use the information provided by manufacturers
and MVPDs notifying consumers of the availability of accessible digital
apparatus and navigation devices to determine which devices accessible
and whether they wish to request an accessible device. MVPDs and
manufacturers of navigation devices will use the information provided
by consumers who are blind or visually impaired consumers when
requesting accessible navigation devices to fulfill such requests.
MVPDs will use information provided by customers who are blind or
visually impaired as reasonable proof of disability as a condition to
providing equipment and/or services at a price that is lower than that
offered to the general public. Consumers will use the contact
information of covered entities to file written complaints regarding
the accessibility requirements for digital apparatus and navigation
devices. Finally, the Commission will use information received pursuant
to the complaint procedures for violations of sections 79.107-79.109 to
enforce the Commission's digital apparatus and navigation device
accessibility requirements. The Commission will forward complaints, as
appropriate, to the named manufacturer or provider for its response, as
well as to any other entity that the Commission determines may be
involved, and it may request additional information from relevant
parties.
