Wireline Handsets Used With the
Legacy Telephone Network
• 47 CFR 68.224 requires that every
non-hearing aid compatible wireline
telephone used with the legacy wireline
network that is offered for sale to the
public contain in a conspicuous
location on the surface of its packaging
a statement that the telephone is not
hearing aid compatible. If the handset is
offered for sale without a surrounding
package, then the telephone must be
affixed with a written statement that the
telephone is not hearing aid compatible.
In addition, each handset must be
accompanied by instructions in
accordance with 47 CFR 62.218(b)(2).
• 47 CFR 68.300 requires that all
wireline telephones used with the
legacy wireline network that are
manufactured in the United States
(other than for export) or imported for
use in the United States and that are
hearing aid compatible have the letters
‘‘HAC’’ permanently affixed.

ACS Telephonic CPE
• New § 68.502(a) of the
Commission’s rules contains
information collection requirements for
ACS telephonic CPE that are similar to
the HAC label and notice requirements
in 47 CFR 68.224 and 68.300 (discussed
above), i.e., the ‘‘HAC’’ labeling
requirement for hearing aid compatible
equipment, and the package information
for non-hearing aid compatible
equipment, apply to ACS telephonic
CPE.
• New § 68.501 of the Commission’s
rules requires responsible parties to
obtain certifications of their equipment
by using a third-party
Telecommunications Certification Body
(TCB) or a Supplier’s Declaration of
Conformity. (A responsible party is the
party, such as the manufacturer, that is
responsible for the compliance of ACS
telephonic CPE with the hearing aid
compatibility rules and other applicable
technical criteria. A Supplier’s
Declaration of Conformity is a
procedure whereby a responsible party
makes measurements or takes steps to
ensure that CPE complies with technical
standards, which results in a document
by the same name.) Section 68.501 of
the Commission’s rules applies to ACS
telephonic CPE rule sections defining
the roles of TCBs and the uses of
Supplier’s Declarations of Conformity
for wireline handsets used with the
legacy telephone network.
• New § 68.504 of the Commission’s
rules requires information about ACS
telephonic CPE to be included in a
database administered by ACTA. (ACTA
is an organization, previously created
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
pursuant to FCC regulations, whose key
function is to maintain a database of
telephone equipment.) In addition, ACS
telephonic CPE must be labeled as
required by ACTA.
• New § 68.502(b)–(d) of the
Commission’s rules requires responsible
parties to: Warrant that ACS telephonic
CPE complies with applicable
regulations and technical criteria; give
the user instructions required by ACTA
for ACS telephonic CPE that is hearing
aid compatible; give the user a notice for
ACS telephonic CPE that is not hearing
aid compatible; and notify the purchaser
or user of ACS telephonic CPE whose
approval is revoked, that the purchaser
or user must discontinue its use.
• New § 68.503 of the Commission’s
rules requires manufacturers of ACS
telephonic CPE to designate an agent for
service of process for complaints that
may be filed at the FCC.
