The [**Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010**][1] directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish the [**Video Programming Accessibility Advisory Committee**][2] (VPAAC). On April 24, 2012, the FCC requested public comments on two parts, specifically, [**video description**][3] and [**emergency information**][4], of the VPAAC's second report. These reports will help create rules to make emergency information and video programming devices accessible to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The new deadline for [comments][5] is **June 4, 2012**. This link opens a PDF document and is also in [**text**][6] format.
