Between 2008 and 2011, the
Commission adopted rules in three
separate orders related to the telephone
numbering system and enhanced 911
(E911) services for users of two forms of
Internet-based TRS: Video Relay Service
(VRS); and Internet Protocol Relay
service (IP Relay). See document FCC
08–151, Report and Order and Further

Numbering Order), published at 73 FR

document FCC 11–123, Report and
Order (iTRS Toll Free Order), published
at 76 FR 59551, September 27, 2011.
The rules adopted in these three
orders have the following information
collection requirements:
(A) Routing Information. VRS and IP
Relay providers must obtain and retain
current routing information from their
registered users.
(B) Provision of Routing Information.
VRS and IP Relay providers must
provision and maintain their registered
users’ routing information to the TRS
Numbering Directory.
(C) Registered Location. VRS and IP
Relay providers must obtain from each
newly registered user the physical
location at which the service will be
utilized (the user’s Registered Location)
and offer their registered users one or
more methods of updating their
physical location.
(D) Provision of Registered Location.
Each VRS and IP Relay provider must
place its registered users’ Registered
Location and certain callback
information into, or make that
information available through,
Automatic Location Information (ALI)
databases across the country.
(E) User Notification. Every VRS or IP
Relay provider must include an
advisory on its Web site and in any
promotional materials addressing
numbering and E911 services for VRS or
IP Relay.
(F) Affirmative Acknowledgements.
VRS and IP Relay providers must obtain
and keep a record of affirmative
acknowledgement from each of their
registered users of having received and
understood the user notification.
(G) Ascertaining Registration Status of
VRS or IP Relay User. Every VRS and IP
Relay provider must verify whether a
dial-around user is registered with
another provider. Because there is only
one IP Relay provider, dial-around
service is not used with IP Relay at this
time.
(H) Verifying Registration and
Eligibility Information. Every VRS and
IP Relay provider must institute
procedures to verify the accuracy of
registration information, and include a
self-certification component requiring
consumers to verify that they have a
disability necessitating their use of TRS.
(I) Commission Approval for the Pass
Through of Numbering Costs. Each VRS
or IP Relay provider wishing to pass
through certain numbering-related costs
to its users must obtain Commission
approval to do so.
(J) Information Sharing After a
Change in Default Providers. Each VRS
provider that provides equipment to a
consumer must make available to other

functions of a default provider.

submit confidential information to the
FCC, respondents may request
confidential treatment for information

CFR Section 0.459 of the Commission’s
rules. The Commission has a system of
records notice (SORN), FCC/OMD–25,
Financial Operations Information
System (FOIS), to cover any PII that
individuals may submit. The SORN is
posted on the FCC Privacy Web page at:

Needs and Uses: The FCC supports a
series of remittance advice forms and a
remittance voucher form that may be
submitted in lieu of a remittance advice
form when entities or individuals
electronically submit a payment. A
remittance advice form (or a remittance
voucher form in lieu of an advice form)
must accompany any payment to the
Federal Communications Commission
(e.g., payments for regulatory fees,
application filing fees, auctions, fines,
forfeitures, Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) billings, or any other debt due to
the FCC. Information is collected on
these forms to ensure credit for full
payment, to ensure entities and
individuals receive any refunds due, to
service public inquiries, and to comply
with the Debt Collection Improvement
Act of 1996. On August 12, 2013 the
Commission released a Report and

Fiscal Year 2013 and Procedures for
Assessment and Collection of
Regulatory Fees, MD Docket Nos. 13–

R&O, the Commission requires that
beginning in FY 2014, all regulatory fee
payments be made electronically and
that the Commission will no longer mail
out initial regulatory fee assessments to
CMRS providers.
