FCC Sets March 16 Effective Date for Closed Captioning Rules

The FCC set a March 16 effective date for rules for the Closed Captioning Quality Order. Record maintenance for video programming distributors' monitoring and maintenance activities, procedures for informal complaints on use of the Electronic Newsroom Technique (ENT), compliance procedures relating to ENT, and other rules will take effect on that date, the commission said Monday in a public notice. The FCC approved the order this year (see 1402210039).
