location. For non-fixed devices, when
dispatchable location is not technically
feasible, internet-based TRS providers
may fall back to Registered Location or
provide alternative location
information. As a last resort, internetbased providers may route calls to
Emergency Relay Calling Centers after
making a good faith effort to obtain
location data from all available
alternative location sources.
Dispatchable location means a location
delivered to the PSAP with a 911 call
that consists of the validated street
address of the calling party, plus
additional information such as suite,
apartment or similar information
necessary to adequately identify the
location of the calling party. Automated
dispatchable location means automatic
generation of dispatchable location.
Alternative location information is
location information (which may be
coordinate-based) sufficient to identify
the caller’s civic address and
approximate in-building location,
including floor level, in large buildings.

amended its rules to convert the VRS athome call handling pilot program into a
permanent one, thereby allowing CAs to
work from home. To ensure user privacy
and call confidentiality and to help
prevent waste, fraud, and abuse, the
modified information collections
include requirements for VRS providers
to apply for certification to allow their
communications assistants to handle
calls while working at home; monitoring
and oversight requirements; and
reporting requirements.

VRS and IP CTS users without risk of
waste, fraud, and abuse to the TRS
Fund, the Commission amended its
rules to allow VRS and IP CTS providers
to provide compensable service to a new
user for up to two weeks after
submitting the user’s information to the
TRS URD if the user’s identity is
verified within that period.
