offered because this information
collection does not require the
collection of personally identifiable
information from individuals.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: On August 1, 2003,
the Commission released the
Declaratory Ruling, In the Matter of
Telecommunication Relay Services and
Speech-to-Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67,
published at 68 FR 55898, September
28, 2003. In the Declaratory Ruling, the
Commission clarified that one-line
captioned telephone voice carry over
(VCO) service is a type of
telecommunications relay service (TRS)
and that eligible providers of such
services are eligible to recover their
costs in accordance with section 225 of
the Communications Act. The
Commission also clarified that certain
TRS mandatory minimum standards do
not apply to one-line captioned
telephone VCO service, and waived 47
CFR 64.604(a)(1) and (a)(3) of the
Commission’s rules for all current and
future captioned telephone VCO service
providers, for the same period of time
beginning August 1, 2003. The waivers
were contingent on the filing of annual
reports, for a period of three years, with
the Commission. Sections 64.604 (a)(1)
and (a)(3) of the Commission’s rules,
which contained information collection
requirements under the PRA became
effective on March 26, 2004.
On July 19, 2005, the Commission
released an Order, In the Matter of
Telecommunication Relay Services and
Speech-to-Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67 and
CG Docket No. 03–123, published at 70
FR 54294, September 14, 2005, that
clarified two-line captioned telephone
VCO service, like one-line captioned
telephone VCO service, is a type of TRS
eligible for compensation from the
Interstate TRS Fund. Also, the
Commission clarified that certain TRS
mandatory minimum standards do not
apply to two-line captioned VCO
service, and waived 47 CFR 64.604(a)(1)
and (a)(3) of the Commission’s rules, for
providers who offers two-line captioned
VCO service. This clarification
increased the number of providers who
will be providing one-line and two-line
captioned telephone VCO services.
On January 11, 2007, the Commission
released a Declaratory Ruling, In the
Matter of Telecommunications Relay
Services and Speech-to-Speech Services
for Individuals with Hearing and
Speech Disabilities, CG Docket No. 03–
123, published at 72 FR 6960, February
VerDate Mar<15>2010

14, 2007, granting a request for
clarification that Internet Protocol (IP)
captioned telephone relay service (IP
CTS) is a type of TRS eligible for
compensation from the Interstate TRS
Fund (Fund) when offered in
compliance with the applicable TRS
mandatory minimum standards.
On August 26, 2013, the Commission
issued a Report and Order, In the Matter
of Misuse of Internet Protocol (IP)
Captioned Telephone Service;
Telecommunications Relay Services and
Speech-to-Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, CG Docket Nos. 13–24 and
03–123, published at 78 FR 53684,
August 30, 2013, to address on an
ongoing basis a dramatic spike in IP
CTS usage that, if left unaddressed,
would constitute a serious threat to the
Fund. The Report and Order regulates
practices relating to the marketing of IP
CTS, imposes certain requirements for
the provision of this service, and
mandates registration and certification
of IP CTS users. The Commission
published a notice in the Federal
Register pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d) on
September 25, 2013 (78 FR 59025)
seeking comments from the public on
the information collection requirements
contained in the supporting statement.
Sorenson Communications, Inc. and its
subsidiary CaptionCall, LLC (together,
CaptionCall) filed comments on
November 25, 2013 regarding the user
registration and certification
requirements adopted in the Report and
Order as well as the certification,
recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements for hardship exemptions
to the captions default-off requirement,
also adopted in the Report and Order.
CaptionCall did not comment on the
collections adopted in the Report and
Order. Subsequently, on December 6,
2013, the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit stayed ‘‘the rule adopted by the
Commission [in the Report and Order]
prohibiting compensation to providers
for minutes of use generated by
equipment consumers received from
providers for free or for less than $75.’’
Sorenson Communications, Inc. and
CaptionCall, LLC v. FCC, Order, D.C.
Cir., No. 13–1246, December 6, 2013, at
1–2. (For convenience, the Commission
refers to the requirement subject to the
stay as ‘‘the $75 equipment charge
rule.’’) Because the $75 equipment
charge rule is related to the registration
and certification requirements adopted
in the Report and Order, the
Commission will defer addressing in the
supporting statement CaptionCall’s
comments on the user registration and

certification requirements until after the
court issues a decision resolving the $75
equipment charge rule on the merits. At
this time, the Commission seeks OMB
approval of (1) the requirements
regarding the labeling of equipment,
software and mobile applications; (2)
the certification, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements for hardship
exemptions to the captions default-off
requirement; and (3) an additional
information reporting requirement for IP
CTS applicants that seek Commission
certification to provide IP CTS and for
IP CTS providers to provide assurance
that they will not request or collect
payment from the TRS Fund for service
to consumers who do not satisfy the
Commission’s IP CTS registration and
certification requirements. The
Commission does not seek OMB
approval of the user registration and
certification requirements adopted in
the Report and Order at this time.
