Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 200 / Thursday, October 15, 2020 / Notices
available to replace TTY technology that
may no longer be available to the
consumer through their provider or on
their device.
(b) Each wireless provider that
requested or will request and receive a
waiver of the requirement to support
TTY technology over wireless IP-based
networks and services must apprise its
customers, through effective and
accessible channels of communication,
that (1) until TTY is sunset, TTY
technology will not be supported for
calls to 911 services over IP-based
wireless services, and (2) there are
alternative PSTN-based and IP-based
accessibility solutions for people with
disabilities to reach 911 services. These
notices must be developed in
coordination with public safety
answering points (PSAPs) and national
consumer organizations, and include a
listing of text-based alternatives to 911,
including, but not limited to, TTY
capability over the PSTN, various forms
of PSTN-based and IP-based TRS, and
text-to-911 (where available). The
notices will inform consumers on the
loss of the use of TTY for completing
911 calls over the provider’s network
and alert them to alternatives service for
which TTY may be used.
(c) Once every six months, each
wireless provider that requests and
receives a waiver of the requirement to
support TTY technology must file a
report with the Commission and inform
its customers regarding its progress
toward and the status of the availability
of new IP-based accessibility solutions.
Such reports must include (1)
information on the interoperability of
the provider’s selected accessibility
solution with the technologies deployed
or to be deployed by other carriers and
service providers, (2) the backward
compatibility of such solution with
TTYs, (3) a showing of the provider’s
efforts to ensure delivery of 911 calls to
the appropriate PSAP, (4) a description
of any obstacles incurred towards
achieving interoperability and steps
taken to overcome such obstacles, and
(5) an estimated timetable for the
deployment of accessibility solutions.
The information will inform consumers
of the progress towards the availability
of alternative accessible means to
replace TTY, and the Commission will
be able to evaluate the reports to
determine if any changes to the waivers
are warranted or of any impediments to
progress that it may be in a position to
resolve.
