Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 66098 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 27, 2010 / Notices service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.’’ Second, the Commission is allowing companies offering one or two handset models over the GSM air interface, if they would have been eligible for the amended de minimis exception rule but for their size, to satisfy their obligation to offer one hearing aid-compatible handset over the GSM air interface by offering a handset that lets the consumer reduce maximum transmit power for GSM operations in the 1900 MHz band by up to 2.5 decibels. The Commission grants this exception subject to certain conditions, one of which is that companies that choose to use this exception must adequately inform consumers of the need to select the power reduction option to achieve hearing aid compatibility and of the consequences of doing so. Specifically, wherever a manufacturer or service provider provides the hearing aid compatibility rating for such a handset, it shall indicate that user activation of a special mode is necessary to meet the hearing aid compatibility standard. In addition, the handset manual or a product insert must explain how to activate the special mode and that doing so may result in a diminution of coverage. Beyond the updated disclosure requirements noted above, one additional change is being made to the current collection. Two fields will be changed on FCC Form 655 in order to clarify information previously gathered in this collection and bring the collection into conformance with the amended rules. Specifically, manufacturers and service providers will be asked to provide the brand names under which they are offering digital commercial mobile radio services (if a service provider) or handsets (if a device manufacturer), in order to avoid confusion by identifying products offered under more than one brand name. In addition, the question concerning handsets capable of Wi-Fi voice operation will be expanded to include handsets capable of voice communication over any air interface or frequency band for which hearing aid compatibility technical standards do not exist without changes to the hardware in the handset. As a result, the Commission is requesting a revision of this currently approved collection due to the new disclosure requirements under Section 20.19(f) of the Commission’s rules as well as the two fields changed on FCC Form 655. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:00 Oct 26, 2010 Jkt 223001 The updated disclosures will create no additional burden for manufacturers and service providers, but will ensure that consumers and the Commission are provided with consistent and sufficient information about the functionality and the limitations of offered handsets. These actions are taken to ensure that consumers who use hearing aids and cochlear implants have access to a variety of phones and are adequately informed about the functionality and the limitations of the handsets, while preserving competitive opportunities for small companies as well as opportunities for innovations and investment. Similarly, the additional fields on the FCC Form 655 will clarify the responses already required by the form, helping the Commission compile data and monitor compliance with the hearing aid compatibility rules.
