document FCC 91–213, published at 56 

FR 36729, August 1, 1991 (1991 TRS 

Implementation Order). 

Between 2008 and 2011, to integrate 

internet-based TRS into the North 

American Numbering plan and facilitate 

interoperability, universal calling, and 

911 emergency services, the 

Commission adopted rules in three 

separate orders related to the telephone 

numbering system and enhanced 911 

(E911) services for users of two forms of 

internet-based TRS: Video Relay Service 

(VRS) and internet Protocol Relay 

service (IP Relay). See document FCC 

08–151, Report and Order and Further 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

published at 73 FR 41286, July 18, 2008 

(First Numbering Order); document FCC 

08–275, Second Report and Order and 

Order on Reconsideration, published at

document FCC 11–123, Report and 

Order, published at 76 FR 59551, 

September 27, 2011 (internet-based TRS 

Toll Free Order). 

The rules adopted in these three 

orders have information collection 

requirements that include requiring VRS 

and IP Relay providers to: register each 

user who selects the provider as his or 

her default provider, including 

obtaining a self-certification from each 

user; verify the accuracy of each user’s 

registration information; provision and 

maintain their registered users’ routing 

information to the TRS Numbering 

Directory; place their users’ Registered 

Location and certain callback 

information in Automatic Location 

Information (ALI) databases across the 

country and provide a means for their 

users to update their Registered 

Locations; include advisories on their 

websites and in any promotional 

materials addressing numbering and 

E911 services for VRS or IP Relay; verify 

in the TRS Numbering Directory 

whether each dial-around user is 

registered with another provider; and if 

they provide equipment to a consumer, 

make available to other VRS providers 

enough information about that 

equipment to enable another VRS 

provider selected as the consumer’s 

default provider to perform all of the 

functions of a default provider. 

On July 28, 2011, the Commission 

released Structure and Practices of the 

Video Relay Service Program, document

August 5, 2011 (VRS Certification 

Order), adopting final and interim 

rules—designed to help prevent waste, 

fraud, and abuse, and ensure quality 

service, in the provision of internetbased forms of TRS. On October 17, 

2011, the Commission released 

Structure and Practices of the Video 

Relay Service Program, Memorandum

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

document FCC 13–82, published at 78 

FR 40582, July 5, 2013 (2013 VRS 

Reform Order). The VRS Certification 

Order as modified by the VRS 

Certification Reconsideration Order and, 

as applicable, made permanent by the 

2013 VRS Reform Order, amended the 

Commission’s process for certifying 

internet-based TRS providers as eligible 

for payment from the Interstate TRS 

Fund (Fund) for their provision of 

internet-based TRS to ensure that 

internet-based TRS providers receiving 

certification are qualified to provide 

internet-based TRS in compliance with 

the Commission’s rules and to eliminate 

waste, fraud and abuse through 

improved oversight of such providers. 

They contain information collection 

requirements including: submission of 

detailed information in an application 

for certification that shows the 

applicant’s ability to comply with the 

Commission’s rules; submission of 

annual reports that include updates to 

the provider’s information on file with 

the Commission or a certification that 

there are no changes to the information; 

requirements for a senior executive of 

an applicant for internet-based TRS 

certification or an internet-based TRS 

provider, when submitting an annual 

compliance report, to certify under 

penalty of perjury to its accuracy and 

completeness; requirements for VRS 

providers to obtain prior authorization 

from the Commission for planned 

interruptions of service, to report to the 

Commission unforeseen interruptions of 

service, and to provide notification of 

temporary service outages, including 

updates, to consumers on their websites; 

and requirements for internet-based TRS 

providers that will no longer be

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 10- 

digit 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

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

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 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. 

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.
