SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0463. 

Title: Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and 

Speech Disabilities, Report and Order 

and Declaratory Ruling, CG Docket No. 

03–123, FCC 07–186. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit entities; State, Local and Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 5,045 respondents and 5,210 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10–15 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement; Recordkeeping

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority can be found at section 225 of 

the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 225. 

The law was enacted on July 26, 1990, 

as Title IV of the Americans with 

Disabilities Act of 1990, Public Law 

101–336, 104 Stat. 327. 

Total Annual Burden: 25,397 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

An assurance of confidentiality is not 

offered because this information 

collection does not require the 

collection of personally identifiable 

information from individuals. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impacts(s). 

Needs and Uses: On November 19, 

2007, the Commission released the 

Telecommunications Relay Services and 

Speech-to-Speech Services for 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, Report and Order and 

Declaratory Ruling (2007 TRS Cost 

Recovery Order), CG Docket No. 03–123, 

FCC 07–186, adopting (1) A new cost 

recovery methodology for interstate 

traditional Telecommunications Relay 

Services (TRS) and interstate Speech-toSpeech (STS) based on the Multi-state 

Average Rate Structure (MARS) plan 

proposed by Hamilton Relay, Inc., (2) a 

new cost recovery methodology for 

interstate captioned telephone service 

(CTS) and interstate and intrastate 

Internet-Protocol (IP) Captioned 

Telephone Service (IP CTS) based on 

the MARS plan, (3) a cost recovery 

methodology for IP Relay based on price 

caps, and (4) a cost recovery 

methodology for Video Relay Services 

(VRS) that adopts tiered rates based on 

call volume. The 2007 TRS Cost 

Recovery Order also clarifies the nature 

and extent that certain categories of 

costs are compensable from the 

Interstate TRS Fund (Fund), and 

addresses certain issues concerning the 

management and oversight of the Fund, 

including financial incentives offered to 

consumers to make relay calls and the 

role of the Interstate TRS Fund Advisory 

Council. 

The 2007 TRS Cost Recovery Order 

establishes reporting requirements 

associated with the MARS plan cost 

recovery methodology for compensation 

from the Fund. Specifically, TRS 

providers must submit to the Fund 

administrator the following information 

annually, on a per-state basis, regarding 

the previous calendar year: (1) The perminute compensation rate(s) for 

intrastate traditional TRS, STS and CTS, 

(2) whether the rate applies to session 

minutes or conversation minutes, (3) the 

number of intrastate session minutes for 

traditional TRS, STS and CTS, and (4) 

the number of intrastate conversation 

minutes for traditional TRS, STS, and 

CTS. Also, STS providers must file a 

report annually with the Fund 

administrator and the Commission on 

their specific outreach efforts directly 

attributable to the additional 

compensation approved by the 

Commission for STS outreach. 

In the 2007 TRS Cost Recovery Order, 

the Commission has assessed the effects 

of imposing the submission of rate data, 

and has found that there is no increased 

administrative burden on businesses 

with fewer than 25 employees. The 

Commission recognizes that the 

required rate data is presently available 

with the states and the providers of 

interstate traditional TRS, interstate 

STS, and interstate CTS, thereby no 

additional step is required to produce 

such data. 

The Commission therefore believes 

that the submission of the rate data does 

not increase an administrative burden 

on businesses.
