Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

who use it and its long-term viability.
The Report and Order contains potential
information collection requirements
with respect to the following seven
requirements, all of which aims to
ensure the sustainability and integrity of
the TRS program and the TRS Fund.
Though the Report and Order
emphasizes VRS, many of the
requirements also apply to other or all
forms of TRS—which includes the
adoption of the interim rule, several
new information collection
requirements.
(1) Provider Certification Under
Penalty of Perjury. The Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer

that copies of these agreements will be
available to the Commission and the
TRS Fund administrator upon request.
Such contracts or agreements shall
provide detailed information about the
nature of the services to be provided by
the subcontractor.
(b) VRS providers shall describe all
agreements in connection with
marketing and outreach activities,
including those involving sponsorships,
financial endorsements, awards, and
gifts made by the provider to any
individual or entity, in the providers’

administrator.
(7) Whistleblower Protection. TRS
providers shall provide information
about these TRS whistleblower
protections, including the right to notify
the Commission’s Office of Inspector
General or its Enforcement Bureau, to
all employees and contractors, in
writing. Providers that already
disseminate their internal business
policies to their employees in writing
(e.g. in employee handbooks, policies
and procedures manuals, or bulletin
board postings—either online or in hard
copy) must also explicitly include these
TRS whistleblower protections in those
written materials.
Lastly, the Commission is revising
this collection to remove the ‘‘Required

following data that is used to support payment claims submitted to the
Fund administrator for a minimum of five years, in an electronic
format: (1) The call record ID sequence; (2) CA ID number; (3) session
start and end times; (4) conversation start and end times; (5) incoming
telephone number and IP address (if call originates with an IP-based

(9) the call center (by assigned center ID number) that handles the

(6) Third-party Agreements. (a) VRS providers shall maintain copies
of all third-party contracts or agreements so that copies of these
agreements will be available to the Commission and the TRS Fund
administrator upon request. Such contracts or agreements shall provide
detailed information about the nature of the services to be provided by
the subcontractor.
(b) VRS providers shall describe all agreements in connection with
marketing and outreach activities, including those involving
sponsorships, financial endorsements, awards, and gifts made by the
provider to any individual or entity, in the providers' annual
submissions to the TRS Fund administrator.
(7) Whistleblower Protection. TRS providers shall provide
information about these TRS whistleblower protections, including the
right to notify the Commission's Office of Inspector General or its
Enforcement Bureau, to all employees and contractors, in writing.
Providers that already disseminate their internal business policies to
their employees in writing (e.g. in employee handbooks, policies and
procedures manuals, or bulletin board postings--either online or in
hard copy) must also explicitly include these TRS whistleblower
protections in those written materials.
Lastly, the Commission is revising this collection to remove the
``Required Submission for Waiver Request'' requirement from this
collection because it is no longer necessary, as this provision has
expired.
