ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this notice advises interested persons that the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC or Commission) Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) IV will hold its fifth meeting. At the meeting, each of the Working Groups will present an update on topics including emergency warning systems, 9–1–1 location accuracy, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), and cybersecurity best practices. DATES: September 24, 2014. ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Room TW–C305 (Commission Meeting Room), 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffery Goldthorp, Designated Federal Officer, (202) 418–1096 (voice) or jeffery.goldthorp@fcc.gov (email); or Lauren Kravetz, Deputy Designated Federal Officer, (202) 418–7944 (voice) or lauren.kravetz@fcc.gov (email). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While the notice of this meeting has not yet been published in the Federal Register, and therefore, did not meet the 15-day requirement for advance publication, exceptional circumstances warrant proceeding with the September 24, 2014, CSRIC meeting. CSRIC members were informed of the September 24th meeting at the June 18, 2014, public meeting of the Council, and have been informed informally of the September meeting date on more than one occasion both before and since then. In addition, the meeting date has been posted on the CSRIC IV Web site for several months. A significant number of Council members have made business and travel plans in accordance with this schedule, and there is no date within one month of the planned date that will accommodate Council members’ schedules. Delaying the meeting will also cause undue financial burdens on many of the members who have made travel arrangements. In addition, it is not possible at this time to schedule a half-day meeting in the FCC’s Commission Meeting Room for any date within one month of September 24, 2014. Further, the agency tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:10 Sep 12, 2014 Jkt 232001 is planning to issue a Public Notice of this meeting no later than on September 15, 2014, to mitigate the late Federal Register publication and as an additional way of advising the public of this meeting and their right to attend. As the September 24 meeting date was announced at the June 2014 public meeting of the Council and has been stated on the Council’s Web site for several months, the meeting has now been broadly announced to the public more than once.

Synopsis 1. On January 16, 2014, Sprint filed a petition requesting a limited waiver of the Commission rule, 47 CFR 64.613(a)(4), that restricts access to the TRS Numbering Directory by the TRS Numbering Administrator and Internetbased TRS providers. Specifically, Sprint requests a waiver of this rule to allow Sprint, as a provider of Federal Relay services, to load telephone numbers for its federal VRS, including ‘‘front door’’ toll-free numbers and tendigit numbers, into the iTRS Numbering Directory. Sprint asserts that because these numbers are not currently in the TRS Numbering Directory, federal employees who are deaf or hard-ofhearing and have been assigned a Federal VRS number are unable to make point-to point video calls to other deaf or hard-of-hearing federal employees. Sprint further asserts that permitting these ‘‘front door’’ telephone numbers and ten-digit numbers into the database will allow deaf and hard-of-hearing federal employees to make point-topoint video calls, increase the ability of deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans to reach federal employees and reduce the number of calls that must be supported by the Interstate TRS Fund.
