rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 6, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
until March 31, 2009, to fulfill their
obligation to implement a system to
automatically and immediately call an
appropriate PSAP when receiving an
emergency 711-dialed call via an
interconnected VoIP service.
In this document, the Commission
extends for 90 days (until June 29, 2009)
the limited waiver granted to traditional
TRS providers in the 2008 TRS 711
Waiver Order. In taking this action, the
Commission grants, to the extent
provided herein, the petition for
extension of waiver filed by AT&T and
Sprint from the requirement of
§ 64.604(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules
with respect to traditional TRS
providers’ duty to automatically and
immediately route emergency 711 calls
that originate on the network of an
interconnected VoIP provider. The
Commission’s reasons for extending the
waiver are three-fold. First, petitioners
note that the routing of the outbound leg
of an interconnected VoIP-originated,
711-dialed call to an appropriate PSAP
by a TRS provider continues to present
significant technical and operational
challenges. Second, to the extent that
interconnected VoIP providers are only
recently able to consistently deliver the
inbound leg of a 711-dialed call to the
appropriate relay center, the
Commission agrees that implementation
of a solution to allow TRS providers to
properly route emergency 711-dialed
VoIP calls will take additional time
beyond the March 31, 2009 deadline for
interconnected VoIP providers. Third,
as the petition reflects, addressing these
challenges requires further collaboration
among a variety of stakeholders
including TRS providers,
interconnected VoIP providers and their
vendors, PSAPs, the emergency services
community, and the consumers. In light
of the foregoing, the Commission finds
good cause to grant traditional TRS
providers an extension of the current
waiver of § 64.604(a)(4) of its rules until
June 29, 2009.
During the period of this waiver, a
traditional TRS provider that cannot
automatically and immediately route to
an appropriate PSAP the outbound leg
of an emergency 711 call placed via
TTY by an interconnected VoIP user, as
required by § 64.604(a)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, must maintain a
manual system for doing so, to the
extent feasible, that accomplishes the
proper routing of emergency 711 calls as
efficiently as possible. Further, during
this period, traditional TRS providers
must take steps to remind individuals
with hearing or speech disabilities to
dial 911 directly (as a text-to-text, TTYto-TTY call) in an emergency, whether
using a PSTN-based service or

Jkt 217001
interconnected VoIP service, rather than
making a TRS call via 711 in an
emergency. Finally, the Commission
expects traditional TRS providers to
continue their collaboration with
industry stakeholders in order to
address any remaining issues, such that
a further extension of this waiver will be
unnecessary.
Based on the record, the Commission
allows the waiver relief previously
granted to interconnected VoIP
providers of the requirement to route
711-dialed calls to an appropriate relay
center to expire after the March 31, 2009
deadline. Accordingly, interconnected
VoIP providers will be required to
properly route all 711-dialed calls to an
appropriate relay center (i.e., the relay
center serving the state in which the
caller is geographically located or that
corresponds to the caller’s last
registered address). Given that
compliance issues remain with respect
to traditional TRS providers’ handling
and routing of the outbound leg of
emergency 711 VoIP calls,
interconnected VoIP providers,
however, must continue to take steps to
remind persons with speech or hearing
disabilities to dial 911 directly (as a
TTY-to-TTY call), rather than dialing
711 (as a relay call), in the event of an
emergency.
Ordering Clauses
Pursuant to Sections 1, 2, and 225 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, and 225,
and Sections 0.141, 0.361, and 1.3 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.141,
0.316 and 1.3, document DA 09–749 is
adopted.
Traditional TRS providers are granted
an extension of time, until June 29,
2009, to implement a system, as set
forth in § 64.604(a)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR
64.604(a)(4), to automatically and
immediately call an appropriate PSAP
when receiving an emergency 711dialed call via an interconnected VoIP
service.
The Petition of AT&T and Sprint
Nextel for Extension of Waiver is
granted to the extent provided herein.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This is part of the General Services
Administration Acquisition Manual
(GSAM) Rewrite Project, initiated in
2006 to revise, update, and simplify the
GSAM. An Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, with a request for
comments, was published in the
Federal Register at 71 FR 7910 on
February 15, 2006. The three comments
received on Part 525 were addressed in
the proposed rule.
A notice of proposed rulemaking was
published in the Federal Register at 73
FR 44208 on July 30, 2008. The public
comment period for the proposed rule
closed September 29, 2008. The draft
revisions proposed to remove the
outdated material from the GSAR, i.e.,
all of GSAR Part 525.
One comment was received in
response to the proposed rule. The
commenter requested ‘‘clarification in
detail’’ of the Buy American Act (BAA)
and the Trade Agreements Act (TAA)
for GSA multiple award contract
holders. The commenter has asked for
interpretation of the FAR, not a change
to the proposed rule. The comment is,
therefore, outside the scope of the
GSAM Rewrite.
No comments were received regarding
the proposed changes to GSAR Part 525.
Therefore, the proposed rule is being
converted to a final rule without change.
This is not a significant regulatory
action and, therefore, was not subject to
review under Section 6(b) of Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
received in response to the shift from
GSAR to GSAM. A Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis has, therefore, not
been performed. We invite comments
from small businesses and other
interested parties. GSA will consider
comments from small entities
concerning the affected GSAR Parts 525
and 552 in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
610. Interested parties must submit such
comments separately and should cite 5
U.S.C. 601, et seq. (GSAR case 2006–
G520), in all correspondence.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because the changes to the
GSAR do not impose recordkeeping or
information collection requirements, or
otherwise collect information from
offerors, contractors, or members of the
public that require approval of the
Office of Management and Budget under
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, et seq.

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
because the changes are primarily
editorial in nature. No comments were
