Download as PDF 14570 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 23, 2005 / Rules and Regulations Based upon our review of the prior orders addressing this issue, and the comments, we clarify that TRS providers (including providers of captioned telephone service) will satisfy the three-way calling requirement set forth in the Second Improved TRS Order & NPRM if they ensure that the TRS facility or CA facilitates or handles a three-way call, as the CA would handle any TRS call, where and to the extent the three-way call has been arranged by any one of the parties to the call, e.g., using a party’s LEC-provided custom calling service (CCS), by bridging two telephone lines via customer terminal equipment, or by some other means. Therefore, we clarify that TRS providers are not required to be able to arrange, initiate, or set up a three-way call (but they may do so). In addition, because providers may meet the three-way calling requirement in various ways, we will not further specify any particular method(s) of handling such calls, so long as the provider is able to handle or facilitate a three-way call, in some manner, whether initiated by one of the parties to the call or set up by the provider. We therefore agree with Sprint that there is no requirement that a captioned telephone provider be able to set up a three-way call, or that the captioned telephone user be able to initiate a three-way call, so long as the captioned telephone provider provides for threeway calling in some manner. See Ultratec, Sprint, & Hamilton Joint Comments at 3–6. We believe that permitting flexibility in the manner in which a provider handles or facilitates three-way calling is consistent with the ultimate objective of ensuring that TRS users have access to this feature. AT&T requests that we clarify the ‘‘appropriate basis for billing end users that are parties to the conference call.’’ AT&T Comments at 4 n.10. In the Second Improved TRS Order & NPRM we addressed how the costs of three-way TRS calls may be recovered from the Interstate TRS Fund. Second Improved TRS Order & NPRM at paragraphs 74–75. To the extent AT&T seeks guidance on how a provider may recover the costs of providing three-way calling service generally (i.e., not the costs of providing the relay service), we note only that a provider may not impose charges on a TRS user that are different than those that would be charged to a hearing person using voice telephone service and the three-way calling feature. Because we have clarified that a TRS provider meets the three-way calling requirement set forth in the Second Improved TRS Order & NPRM by VerDate jul<14>2003 14:14 Mar 22, 2005 Jkt 205001 handling such calls when initiated or set up by one of the parties to the call (or by the provider setting up the call), the record reflects that waiver of this requirement is no longer necessary. Accordingly, the one-year waiver of this requirement set forth in the Three-Way Calling Waiver Order will expire, pursuant to that order, on February 24, 2005. The expiration of this waiver will not affect the current three-way calling waiver for IP Relay and VRS. See Second Improved TRS Order & NPRM at paragraph 76. Federal Communications Commission.
