Notice of Agreements Filed, 12733 [2025-04561]

Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 52 / Wednesday, March 19, 2025 / Notices related to what information must be included within a handset model’s packaging either in the form of a printed insert or a printed handset manual. The Commission is requiring that a handset model’s external printed package label indicate whether the handset model includes Bluetooth coupling capabilities or telecoil coupling capabilities or both, and in the case of Bluetooth coupling which Bluetooth technology the handset model incorporates. The Commission is also requiring handset manufacturers and service providers to include information on the hearing aid compatibility settings of handset models and how consumers can turn these settings on and off. As part of these revisions, the Commission eliminated outdated labeling requirements which were no longer necessary and that might cause consumer confusion if retained. By eliminating these outdated requirements, the Commission reduced regulatory burden and cost to handset manufacturers and service providers. The revised labeling requirements are in section 20.19(f)(1) and (2) of the Commission’s rules and these revised requirements ensure that consumers have the information that they need to make informed handset model purchasing decisions. In addition to these revised labeling rules, the Commission determined to allow handset manufacturers and service providers to use digital labeling technology as an alternative to including a printed insert or printed handset manual in a handset model’s packaging. Handset manufacturers and service providers choosing this option must maintain publicly accessible websites where consumers can find the required hearing aid compatibility information, and they must provide consumers with a Quick-Response (QR) code and the related website address where the required hearing aid compatibility information can be found. The Commission decided to allow the use of digital labeling technology at the request of handset manufacturers and service providers who argued that the use of digital labeling would reduce regulatory burden and cost for them. The use of digital labeling will also ensure that consumers have access to the most up-to-date handset model information. The Commission’s new digital labeling rules are at section 20.19(f)(3) of the Commission’s rules. Along these same lines, the Commission revised its website posting requirements that apply to handset manufacturers and service providers who maintain publicly accessible websites. These companies must indicate on their publicly accessible VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:11 Mar 18, 2025 Jkt 265001 websites which handset models that they offer for sale or use in the United States meet telecoil certification requirements and which meet Bluetooth coupling requirements. In addition, these companies must list a handset model’s conversational gain if the handset model was certified as hearing aid-compatible using a standard that includes volume control requirements. The Commission also adopted point-ofcontact requirements that require handset manufacturers and service providers to list contact information that consumers can use to ask knowledgeable company employees compatibility questions that they might have concerning the handset models that these companies offer for sale or use in the United States. Part of these revisions also included eliminating outof-date website posting and record retention requirements that no longer served a useful purpose. The elimination of these outdated information collection requirements reduce regulatory burden and cost for handset manufacturers and service providers. The revised website posting requirements are at section 20.19(h) of the Commission’s rules. Finally, the Commission revised its annual certification requirements for handset manufacturers and service providers. After the 100% hearing aid compatibility transition period ends for handset manufacturers, these companies will no longer file FCC Form 655. Instead, handset manufacturers will start filing FCC Form 855 and service providers will continue to file this form. FCC Form 855 is a streamlined certification form that does not require the detail handset model information that FCC Form 655 collects. This change will significantly reduce regulatory burden and cost for handset manufacturers. In addition, the Commission is updating FCC Form 855 to ensure it collects only relevant information consistent with the Commission’s 100% hearing aid compatibility requirement. These updates include removing outdated questions and streamlining the information that the form collects. The revised annual certification requirements are at section 20.19 (i)(4) and (5) of the Commission’s rules. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
