provisions, including annual reporting
requirements on FCC Form 655. For
other service providers that are not Tier
I carriers, the expanded scope of the
Commission’s hearing aid compatibility
provisions applies beginning April 1,
2018.
Following release of the Fourth
Report and Order, the Commission is
required to amend the FCC Form 655 to
reflect the newly expanded scope of
handsets covered by the hearing aid
compatibility provisions, as well as to
capture information regarding existing
disclosure requirements clarified by the
Commission in the Fourth Report and
Order. As a consequence of the Fourth
Report and Order, FCC Form 655 filing
and other requirements will apply to
those newly-covered handsets offered
by device manufacturers and service
providers that have already been
reporting annually on their compliance
with the Commission’s hearing aid
compatibility provisions, as well to any
device manufacturers and service
providers that were previously exempt
because they did not offer any covered
handsets or services prior to 2018.
As a result, the Commission is
requesting a revision of this collection
in order to implement the final rules
promulgated in the Fourth Report and
Order, which expanded the scope of the
rules due to a shift from Commercial
Mobile Radio Services (CMRS) to digital
mobile service. We estimate that the
expanded scope will increase the
potential number of respondents subject
to this collection and correspondingly
increase the responses and burden
hours. The minor language changes to
the instructions to FCC Form 655 and to
the form itself clarifying this expanded
scope will help the Commission
compile data and monitor compliance
with the current version of the hearing
aid compatibility rules while making
more complete and accessible
information available to consumers.
