Structure and Practices of the Video Relay Services Program, 28566-28567 [2017-12957]

Download as PDF 28566 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 120 / Friday, June 23, 2017 / Rules and Regulations In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance (except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for more than a year on FEMA’s initial FIRM for the community as having flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities listed in this final rule have been adequately notified. Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer State and location Montana: Carbon County, Unincorporated Areas. Community No. 300139 stating that the community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less than 30 days. National Environmental Policy Act. FEMA has determined that the community suspension(s) included in this rule is a non-discretionary action and therefore the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply. Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities unless remedial action takes place. Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735. Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988. Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 64 Flood insurance, Floodplains.

Synopsis

Order on Server Based Routing

    1. By way of background, in the VRS Interoperability Order, DA 17-
76, the VRS Provider Interoperability Profile that was incorporated 
into the Commission's rules provides for the routing of inter-provider 
VRS and point-to-point video calls to a server of the terminating VRS 
provider that serves multiple VRS users and devices, rather than 
directly to a specific device. The technical standard specifies the 
inclusion of call routing information in the TRS Numbering Directory 
that contains, in addition to the call recipient's telephone number, a 
VRS provider domain name, rather than a user-specific IP address. 
However, 47 CFR 64.613(a) currently requires that the URI for a VRS 
user's telephone number ``shall contain the IP address of the user's 
device.''
    2. The Commission has determined that until it acts on the Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in document FCC 17-26, which proposes to 
amend 47 CFR 64.613 to allow such server-based routing, 47 CFR 64.613 
does not authorize VRS providers to provide to and retrieve from the 
TRS Numbering Directory the routing information specified by the VRS 
Provider Interoperability Profile.
    3. Document DA 17-76 sets August 25, 2017 as the deadline for 
compliance with the VRS Provider Interoperability Profile. 47 CFR 
64.621(b)(1). To avoid the possibility of subjecting VRS providers to 
conflicting obligations pending Commission action on the Further Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking, in document FCC 17-26 Order, the Commission 
sets aside on its own motion the effectiveness of document DA 17-76 and 
47 CFR 64.621(b)(1) with respect to the August 25, 2017 deadline for 
compliance with the VRS Provider Interoperability Profile.

Ordering Clauses

    Pursuant to sections 1, 2, 225, and 251 of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 225, 251, document FCC 17-26 
is adopted.
    The Commission's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, 
Reference Information Center, has sent a copy of document FCC 17-26 to 
the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.
