providing service to give their
customers at least 30-days notice.
In the 2013 VRS Reform Order, the
Commission adopted further measures
to improve the structure, efficiency, and
quality of the VRS program, reducing
the noted inefficiencies in the program,
as well as reducing the risk of waste,
fraud, and abuse, and ensuring that the
program makes full use of advances in
commercially-available technology. The
Commission required reporting of
unauthorized and unnecessary us of
VRS; established a central TRS user
registration database (TRS–URD) for
VRS, which incorporates a centralized
eligibility verification requirement to
ensure accurate registration and
verification of users, as well as per-call
validation, to achieve more effective
prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse;
established procedures to prevent
unauthorized changes of a user’s default
TRS provider; and established
procedures to protect TRS users’
customer proprietary network
information (CPNI) from disclosure.
On March 23, 2017, the Commission
released Structure and Practices of the
Video Relay Services Program et al.,
FCC 17–26, published at 82 FR 17754,
April 13, 2017, (2017 VRS
Improvements Order), which among
other things, allows VRS providers to
assign TRS Numbering Directory 10digit telephone numbers to hearing
individuals for the limited purpose of
making point-to-pint video calls, and
gives VRS providers the option to
participate in an at-home call handling
pilot program, subject to certain
limitations, as well as recordkeeping
and reporting requirements.
On May 15, 2019, the Commission
released Structure and Practices of the
Video Relay Service Program;
Telecommunications Relay Services and
Speech-to-Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, FCC 19–39, published at 84
FR 26364, June 6, 2019 (2019 VRS
Program Management Order). The
Commission further improved the
structure, efficiency, and quality of the
VRS program, reduced the risk of waste,
fraud, and abuse, and ensured that the
program makes full use of advances in
commercially-available technology.
These improvements include
information collection requirements,
including: the establishment of
procedures to register enterprise and
public videophones to the TRS–URD;
and permitting Qualified Direct Video
Calling (DVC) Entities to access the TRS
Numbering Directory and establishing
an application procedure to authorize
such access, including rules governing
DVC entities and entry of information in

the TRS Numbering Directory and the
TRS–URD.
On August 2, 2019, the Commission
released Implementing Kari’s Law and
Section 506 of RAY BAUM’s Act;
Inquiry Concerning 911 Access,
Routing, and Location in Enterprise
Communications Systems; Amending
the Definition of Interconnected VoIP
Service in Section 9.3 of the
Commission’s Rules, FCC 19–76,
published at 84 FR 66716, December 5,
2019 (MLTS 911 and Dispatchable
Location Order). The Commission
amended its rules to ensure that the
dispatchable location is conveyed to a
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
with a 911 call, regardless of the
technological platform used. Based on
the directive in section 506 of RAY
BAUM’S Act, the Commission adopted
dispatchable location requirements that
in effect modified the existing
information collection requirements
applicable to VRS, IP Relay and covered
internet Protocol captioned telephone
service (IP CTS) by improving the
options for providing accurate location
information to PSAPs as part of 911
calls.
Fixed internet-based TRS devices
must provide automated dispatchable
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.
On January 31, 2020, the Commission
released Structure and Practices of the
Video Relay Service Program;
Telecommunications Relay Services and
Speech-to-Speech Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, FCC 20–7, 85 FR 27309,
May 8, 2020 (VRS At-Home Call
Handling Order). The Commission
amended its rules to convert the VRS at-
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703

home 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.
On June 30, 2022, the Commission
released Telecommunications Relay
Services and Speech-to-Speech Services
for Individuals with Hearing and
Speech Disabilities; Structure and
Practices of the Video Relay Service
Program; Misuse of internet Protocol
Captioned Telephone Service, FCC 22–
51, published at 87 FR 57645,
September 21, 2022 (Registration Grace
Period Order). To offer more efficient
service to 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.
On September 30, 2022, the
Commission released Rates for Interstate
Inmate Calling Services, FCC 22–76,
published at 87 FR 75496, December 9,
2022 (Accessible Carceral
Communications Order). To improve
access to communications services for
incarcerated people with
communications disabilities, the
Commission adopted modifications to
the user registration and verification
requirements for use of internet-based
TRS in correctional facilities.
