REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FROM FCC's CLOSED CAPTIONING RULES
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
Numerous television broadcasters have filed petitions for exemption from the FCC's closed captioning requirements, claiming that compliance would impose an undue burden. The FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB), which decides on these petitions, is now placing them on public notice allowing for public comment. For hundreds of pending petitions, the CBG is now allowing 20 days for those comments to be filed. Comments filed via email will NOT be part of the official record.
