Structure and Practices of the Video Relay Service Program

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the final regulations 
of the Commission's rules, which were published in the Federal Register 
on Monday, May 2, 2011, 76 FR 24393. The final regulations address 
fraud, waste, and abuse in the Video Relay Service (VRS) industry.

DATES: Effective October 4, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gregory Hlibok, Consumer and 
Governmental Affairs Bureau at (202) 559-5158 (voice/videophone), or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Communications Commission 
published a document amending 47 CFR 64.604 in the Federal Register of 
May 2, 2011, (76 FR 24393). The amended rules are necessary to properly 
detect anomalies in submitted minutes, which can alert the Interstate 
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fund administrator and the 
Commission on the need to inquire further about, and if necessary, 
conduct an investigation into the legitimacy of such minutes.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations inadvertently referenced 
inaccurate regulatory text which may prove to be confusing and needs to 
be corrected accordingly.
