E911 Requirements for IP-Enabled Services, 43323 [05-14842]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 143 / Wednesday, July 27, 2005 / Rules and Regulations winning bids. The word ‘‘cash’’ is defined as ‘‘money or its equivalent;’’ or ‘‘ready money’’ and ‘‘proceeds’’ is defined as ‘‘the money obtained from a commercial or fund-raising venture: yield.’’ 3. In addition to the language of the statute, the purpose underlying the revenue requirement of CSEA supports a determination that ‘‘total cash proceeds’’ is based on winning bids net of bidding credits. Given that Congress’s purpose was to provide a mechanism for making sufficient funds available to relocating Federal agencies, it is reasonable to assume that Congress did not intend the Commission, in determining whether the ‘‘total cash proceeds’’ requirement has been met, to count those portions of winning bids for which the bidder would receive credit and not have to pay. Accordingly, the Commission does not read CSEA to equate the amount of the gross winning bids with the total cash proceeds of the auction. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.

AGENCY: SUMMARY: In this document the Commission grants in part and denies in part petitions for reconsideration of the PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 43323 Hearing Aid Compatibility Order, which lifted the blanket exemption for digital wireless telephones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act).

On August 14, 2003, the Commission released the Hearing Aid Compatibility Order, finding, among other things, that the statutory criteria to lift the exemption for wireless telephones had been met. Specifically, the Commission determined that continuation of Congress’ exemption for wireless telephones would have an adverse effect on individuals with hearing disabilities, and that revoking the exemption was technologically feasible and in the public interest. The Commission further determined that compliance with hearing aid compatibility requirements ‘‘would not increase the costs of [wireless] phones to such an extent that they could not be successfully marketed.’’ 2. Based upon these findings, the Commission established requirements for hearing aid compatibility of digital wireless phones. First, the Commission adopted the ANSI C63.19 performance levels as the applicable technical standard. Second, the Commission established specific, phased-in E:\FR\FM\27JYR1.SGM 27JYR1
