collect this information. The
Commission requires respondents to
collect this information. Once OMB
approval is received for the
consolidated/merged information
collection requirements, the
Commission will eliminate OMB
information collection No. 3060–1091.
On November 30 2005, the
Commission released a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), CG
Docket No. 03–123, which addressed
the issue of access to emergency
services for Internet-based forms of
Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), namely VRS and IP Relay
Service. The Commission sought to
adopt means to ensure that such calls
promptly reach the appropriate
emergency service provider. By doing
so, the NPRM sought comment on
various issues: (1) Whether the
Commission should require VRS and IP
Relay service providers to establish a
registration process in which VRS and
IP Relay service users provide, in
advance, the primary location from
which they will be making VRS or IP
Relay service calls (the Registered
Location), so that a communication
assistant (CA) can identify the
appropriate Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) to contact; (2) should VRS
and IP Relay providers be required to
register their customers and obtain a
Registered Location from their
customers so that they will be able to
make the outbound call to the
appropriate PSAP; (3) whether there are
other means by which VRS and IP Relay
service providers may obtain Registered
Location information, for example, by
linking the serial number of the
customer VRS or IP Relay service
terminal or equipment to their
registered location; (4) any privacy
considerations that might be raised by
requiring VRS and IP Relay service
users to provide location information as
a prerequisite to using these services; (5)
whether, assuming some type of
location registration requirement is
adopted, the Commission should
require specific information or place
limits on the scope of information that
providers should be able to obtain; (6)
whether the Commission should require
VRS and IP Relay providers to provide
appropriate warning labels for
installation on customer premises
equipment (CPE) used in connection
with VRS and IP Relay services; (7)
whether the Commission should require
VRS and IP Relay providers to obtain
and keep a record of affirmative
acknowledgement by every subscriber of
having received and understood the
advisory that E911 service may not be

Jkt 211001
available through VRS and IP Relay or
may be in some way limited by
comparison to traditional E911 service;
and (8) how the Commission may
ensure that providers have updated
location information, and the respective
obligations of the providers and the
consumers in this regard.
On May 8, 2006, the Commission
released the Misuse of IP Relay Service
and VRS Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, (IP Relay Fraud FNPRM),
CG Docket No. 03–123, FCC 06–58
which contained the following
information collection requirements
involving user registration, e.g., callers
register to use VRS and IP Relay and
provide their requisite information as
necessary: The IP Relay Fraud FNPRM
sought comment on: (1) Whether IP
Relay and VRS providers should be
required to implement user registration
system in which users provide certain
information to their providers, in
advance, as a means of curbing
illegitimate IP Relay and VRS calls; (2)
what information should be required of
the user; (3) whether there are steps that
could be taken, or technology
implemented, to prevent the wrongful
use of registration information; and (4)
whether the Commission should require
VRS and IP Relay providers to maintain
records of apparently illegitimate calls
that were terminated by the providers.
On May 9, 2006, the Commission
released the VRS Interoperability
Declaratory Ruling and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking
(Interoperability FNPRM), In the Matter
of Telecommunications Relay Services
and Speech-to-Speech Services for
individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, CG Docket No. 03–123, FCC
06–57. In the Interoperability FNPRM,
the Commission sought comment on the
feasibility of establishing a single, open,
and global database of proxy numbers
for VRS users that would be available to
all service providers, so that a hearing
person can call a VRS user through any
VRS provider, and without having first
to ascertain the VRS user’s current IP
address. The Commission also sought
comment on nature of the proxy
numbers that might be used and how
they might be administered. The
Commission sought comment on the
role of the Commission in creating and
maintaining the database. In the
Interoperability FNPRM, the
Commission recognized: (a) That when
a hearing person contacts a VRS user by
calling a VRS provider, the calling party
has to know in advance the IP address
of the VRS user so that the calling party
can give that address to the VRS CA (b)
that because most consumers’ IP
addresses are dynamic, the VRS
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
consumer may not know the IP address
of his or her VRS equipment at a
particular time; (c) that some VRS
providers have created their own
database of ‘‘proxy’’ or ‘‘alias’’ numbers
that associate with the IP address of
their customers, even if a particular
person’s IP address is dynamic and
changes; (d) that databases are
maintained by the service provider and,
generally, are not shared with other
service providers; and (e) that a person
desiring to call a VRS consumer via the
consumer’s proxy number can only use
the services of the VRS provider that
generates the number. The
Interoperability FNPRM contained the
following information collection
requirements involving an open, global
database of VRS proxy numbers. The
Interoperability FNPRM sought
comment on: (1) Whether VRS providers
should be required to provide
information to populate an open, global
database of VRS proxy numbers and to
keep the information current; (2)
whether the Interstate TRS Fund
administrator, a separate entity, or a
consortium of service providers should
be responsible for the maintenance and
operation of an open, global database of
VRS proxy numbers; (3) whether Deaf
and hard of hearing individuals using
video broadband communication need
uniform and static end-point numbers
should be linked to the North American
Numbering Plan (NANP) that would
remain consistent across all VRS
providers so that they can contact one
another and be contacted to the same
extent that Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) and VoIP users are able
to identify and call one another; (4)
whether participation by service
providers should be mandatory so that
all VRS users can receive incoming
calls.
