Download as PDF 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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:14 May 05, 2009 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.

Please cite GSAR Case 2006–G520. 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.
