public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control

with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not
display a valid control number. 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 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 Office of Management

Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 2000 Consumer Complaint Forms asks the
complainants to provide their contact information, including address,
telephone number, and email address, and to briefly describe the nature
of the complaint, including the communications entities against which
the complaint is lodged, the consumer's account number(s), if
applicable, the date(s) on which the incident(s) occurred, and the type
of resolution the consumer is seeking. The Commission uses the
information to resolve the consumer's informal complaint(s). The FCC
Form 2000 A through F will remain unchanged. Consumers may now file
complaints about loud commercials using the Commission's online
complaint form (specifically, the Form 2000G). Consumers may also file
their complaint by fax or by letter. The information obtained by
consumer complaints will be used by Commission staff to evaluate and
ensure that TV stations and MVPDs are in compliance with the rules
implementing the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation
(``CALM'') Act.
The FCC Form 475-B Consumer Complaint Form asks complainants to
provide their contact information, including address, telephone number,
and email address, and to describe their complaint(s) and issue(s)
concerning the practices of telecommunications entities, which they
believe may have aired obscene, profane, and/or indecent programming.
The FCC Form 475-B will remain unchanged. The FCC Form 1088 Consumer
Complaint Form asks complainants to provide their contact information,
including address, telephone number, and email address, and to describe
their complaints and issues regarding ``Do Not Call'' and ``Junk Fax''
as well as other related consumer protection issues such as prerecorded
messages, automatic telephone dialing systems, and unsolicited
commercial email messages to wireless telecommunications devices. The
FCC Form 1088 A through H will remain unchanged. The FCC Form 501
Consumer Complaint Form asks complainants to provide their contact
information, including address, telephone number, and email address,
and to describe their complaints and issues regarding alleged slamming
violations. The FCC Form 501 will remain unchanged.
