FCC Reporting


FCC CHANGED EMAIL - AADB Update -- FCC Article Correction,  Our apologies for giving the wrong email address for Gregory Hlibok of the Federal Communications Commission last month in our article about the FCC and video relay services. His email address is Gregory.Hlibok@fcc.gov   Once again, the FCC wants to hear about deaf-blind people's experiences about using video relay services and communication facilitators. Deaf-blind people can send comments by email or mail to: Thomas Chandler, Chief, Disability Rights Office, Federal, Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC  20554; email: Thomas.Chandler@fcc.gov.   Please send a copy of your comments to Gregory Hlibok (also at the FCC), Attorney-Advisor, Disability Rights Office, Consumer and Governmental Affairs, Gregory.Hlibok@fcc.gov.


Reporting closed captioning problems just got easier.

Starting today (February 12, 2009), when you see a TV closed captioning problem, you can report the problem to the FCC. Closed captioning complaints can be filed online. Here’s how:

Online – complete FCC Form 2000C Disability Access Complaint at  http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

(Special Instruction – The form may say, “NOTE: If your complaint is about closed captioning only, you must first contact the station or video programming distributor.” Ignore that statement.)

Here’s what the FCC needs to know:

  • your contact information, including your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and daytime phone number (if you have one);
  • the name of the TV program with the closed captioning problem;
  • the name of the TV station that aired the program;
  • the name of your cable or satellite TV service (if you have one);
  • the date and time the closed captioning problem happened; and
  • a description of the closed captioning problem.

Need Help? Call the FCC –

Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET
1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) (voice)
1-888-TELL- FCC (1-888-835-5322) (TTY)
An FCC representative will complete the Form 2000C complaint form for you.

Complaints must be filed within sixty (60) days of the closed captioning problem.

The NAD urges you to report closed captioning problems to the FCC. Why? Without closed captioning complaints, the FCC does not know that there are problems. The FCC must know about the problems before the problems can be fixed. The FCC can also see if there are widespread technical problems that need to be fixed.

About DTV, you can go to http://www.dtv.gov for more info..

The 37-page list, a Word document (there is also a PDF version), can be downloaded from the FCC website, and there is another list on the web on the FCC's captioning exemptions page. These lists are not organized by state, but there is an organized list on the web that makes it easier to quickly locate petitioners in your state and maybe even your home town.

A Fight We MUST Win. Or: My Nasty Letter to FCC -- As we have seen this week, the most important issue facing the deaf and hard of hearing community now is the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) recent issuing of waivers for captioning - including two PERMANENT exemptions. (The latest blog post on this is at the NAD Advocacy Blog, which also gives a phone number to call and protest).

There are many of links at Search about FCC about Deaf Laws.

On behalf of the TAD community, we encourage you to sign up on Ed's Alert web site for updating on the FCC issues on VRS, Pagers and others that you MUST know about. Go to http://www.edsalert.com/2008/04/10/fcc-approves-emergency-alert-text-messaging/
