Extension

This document announces the
extension of the charter of the
Emergency Access Advisory Committee
(Committee or EAAC). This extension of

the charter will enable the EAAC to
complete the important work it began in
early 2011 pursuant to the Twenty-First
Century Communications and Video
Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA).
DATES: The EAAC charter is now
effective until June 14, 2013.

Governmental Affairs Bureau, (202)

(email).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By
releasing the Public Notice (DA 13–28),
the Consumer and Governmental Affairs
Bureau and the Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau of the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC or Commission) extended the
charter of the EAAC by six months until
June 14, 2013. This extension of the
charter will enable the EAAC to
complete the important work it began in
early 2011 pursuant to the CVAA.
The EAAC was chartered on January
14, 2011 to determine the most effective
and efficient technologies and methods
by which to enable equal access to
emergency services by individuals with
disabilities as part of our nation’s
migration to Next Generation 911 (NG9–
1–1), and to make recommendations to
the Commission on how to achieve
those effective and efficient
technologies and methods. In spring
2011, the EAAC conducted a
nationwide survey of individuals with
disabilities and released a report on that
survey on July 21, 2011. Following
release of the survey report, the EAAC
developed recommendations, which it
submitted to the Commission on
December 7, 2011, as required by the
CVAA. However, the EAAC clarified
that the December 2011
recommendations did not constitute the
full report and requested additional
editorial privileges and the right to
submit a full report that will contain the
technical and policy background for
these recommendations at a later date.
The EAAC subsequently formed
subcommittees to further explain in
detail its initial recommendations
related to interoperability testing,
language assistance, gaps in existing
public safety standards, timelines for
deployment and pre-NG 911 mobile
text-to-911 solutions.
The EAAC Charter provides that the
EAAC shall terminate two years from
the date of the Charter, thus expiring on
January 14, 2013. The Commission has
received requests from the co-chairs of
