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 The Commission revised the labeling rule in order to streamline the rule and remove outdated requirements.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 handsets package label state that the handset is hearing aid-compatible. The new rule still requires hearing aid-compatible handsets to list the handsets 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 Commissions 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 Commissions current hearing aid compatibility de minimis provisions and to reflect the Commissions 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.
