foundation for EPA’s decisions on the 

adequacy of the current lead NAAQS 

and, if appropriate, on potential 

alternative standards. The Clean Air 

Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC), an independent scientific 

advisory committee with review and 

advisory functions that are mandated by 

section 109(d)(2) of the Act, provides 

independent scientific review of the 

draft ISA and related draft technical and 

policy assessments. 

On July 7, 2020 (85 FR 40641), EPA 

formally initiated its current review of 

the air quality criteria for the health and 

welfare effects of lead and the primary 

(health-based) and secondary (welfarebased) NAAQS, requesting the 

submission of scientific and policyrelevant information on specified topics. 

This information was incorporated into 

Volume 2 of EPA’s ‘‘Integrated Review 

Plan for the Review of the Lead National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(External Review Draft),’’ which was 

available for public comment (87 FR 

13732, March 10, 2022) and discussed 

by the CASAC via a publicly accessible 

teleconference consultation (87 FR 

15985, March 21, 2022). Volume 2 of the 

‘‘Integrated Review Plan for the Review 

of the Lead National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards’’ is focused on 

planning for the review and the ISA and 

was posted to the EPA website in March 

2022 (https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/leadpb-standards-planning-documentscurrent-review). 

In developing the lead ISA, webinar 

workshops were held on May 26, June 

7, June 22, and June 29, 2022, to discuss 

initial draft materials with invited EPA 

and external scientific experts (87 FR 

27147, May 6, 2022). The input received 

during these webinar workshops aided 

in developing the ‘‘Integrated Science 

Assessment for Lead (External Review 

Draft)’’, released on March 31, 2023 

(EPA/600/R–23/061, 88 FR 19302), and 

made available at: https://

cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/

recordisplay.cfm?deid=357282. The 

CASAC met at a public meeting on June 

13 and June 14, 2023 (88 FR 17218, 

March 22, 2023), to review the draft lead 

ISA. A public teleconference was then 

held on August 23 and August 24, 2023, 

for CASAC to review their draft letter to 

the Administrator on the draft lead ISA 

(88 FR 45415, July 17, 2023). 

Subsequently, on September 18, 2023, 

the CASAC provided a consensus letter 

of their review to the EPA Administrator 

(EPA–CASAC–23–003), available at: 

https://casac.epa.gov/ords/sab/r/sab_

report. The letter from the CASAC, as 

well as public comments received on 

the draft lead ISA, can also be found in 

the Docket (EPA–HQ–ORD–2020–0701). 

The EPA Administrator responded to 

the CASAC’s letter on the draft lead ISA 

on October 30, 2023, and the letter is 

available at: https://casac.epa.gov/ords/ 

sab/r/sab_apex/casac/ar?session=

8387849145801. EPA has considered 

comments by the CASAC panel and by 

the public in preparing this final ISA. 

More information can be found in 

Appendix 12, Section 12.7.5, of the final 

lead ISA (EPA/600/R–23/375).

concerning hearing aid compatibility 

(HAC) for wireline handsets used with 

the legacy telephone network and with 

advanced communications services 

(ACS), such as Voice over internet 

Protocol (VoIP). The latter are known as 

ACS telephonic customer premises 

equipment (ACS telephonic CPE). 

Beginning in the 1980s, the 

Commission adopted a series of 

regulations to implement statutory 

directives in section 710(b) of the 

Communications Act of 1934 requiring 

wireline telephone handsets in the 

United States (for use with the legacy 

telephone network) to be hearing aid 

compatible. 47 U.S.C. 610. In 2010, the

Twenty-First Century Communications 

and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), 

Public Law 111–260, sec. 102, 710(b), 

124 Stat. 2751, 2753 (CVAA) (codified at 

47 U.S.C. 610(b)), amended by Public 

Law 111–265, 124 Stat. 2795 (technical 

corrections to the CVAA), amended 

section 710(b) of the Communications 

Act of 1934, to apply the HAC 

requirements to ACS telephonic CPE, 

including VoIP telephones. In 

accordance with this provision, the 

Commission adopted Access to 

Telecommunications Equipment and 

Services by Persons with Disabilities et 

al., Report and Order and Order on 

Reconsideration, FCC 17–135, 

published at 83 FR 8624, February 28, 

2018, which amended the HAC rules to 

cover ACS telephonic CPE to the extent 

such devices are designed to be held to 

the ear and provide two-way voice 

communication via a built-in speaker. 

The information collections contain 

third-party disclosure and labeling 

requirements. The information is used 

to inform consumers who purchase or 

use wireline telephone equipment 

whether the telephone is hearing aid 

compatible; to ensure that 

manufacturers comply with applicable 

regulations and technical criteria; to 

ensure that information about ACS 

telephonic CPE is available in a 

database administered by the 

Administrative Council for Terminal 

Attachments (ACTA) (an organization, 

previously created pursuant to FCC 

regulations, whose key function is to 

maintain a database of telephone 

equipment); and to facilitate the filing of 

complaints about the ACS telephonic 

CPE. 

Wireline Handsets Used With the 

Legacy Telephone Network 

• 47 CFR 68.224 requires that every 

non-hearing aid compatible wireline 

telephone used with the legacy wireline 

network that is offered for sale to the 

public contain in a conspicuous 

location on the surface of its packaging 

a statement that the telephone is not 

hearing aid compatible. If the handset is 

offered for sale without a surrounding 

package, then the telephone must be 

affixed with a written statement that the 

telephone is not hearing aid compatible. 

In addition, each handset must be 

accompanied by instructions in 

accordance with 47 CFR 62.218(b)(2). 

• 47 CFR 68.300 requires that all 

wireline telephones used with the 

legacy wireline network that are 

manufactured in the United States 

(other than for export) or imported for 

use in the United States and that are 

hearing aid compatible have the letters 

‘‘HAC’’ permanently affixed. 

ACS Telephonic CPE 

• 47 CFR 68.502(a) of the 

Commission’s rules contains 

information collection requirements for 

ACS telephonic CPE that are similar to 

the HAC label and notice requirements 

in 47 CFR 68.224 and 68.300 (discussed 

above), i.e., the ‘‘HAC’’ labeling 

requirement for hearing aid compatible 

equipment, and the package information 

for non-hearing aid compatible 

equipment, apply to ACS telephonic 

CPE. 

• 47 CFR 68.501 of the Commission’s 

rules requires responsible parties to 

obtain certifications of their equipment 

by using a third-party 

Telecommunications Certification Body 

(TCB) or a Supplier’s Declaration of 

Conformity. (A responsible party is the 

party, such as the manufacturer, that is 

responsible for the compliance of ACS 

telephonic CPE with the hearing aid 

compatibility rules and other applicable 

technical criteria. A Supplier’s 

Declaration of Conformity is a 

procedure whereby a responsible party 

makes measurements or takes steps to 

ensure that CPE complies with technical 

standards, which results in a document 

by the same name.) Section 68.501 of 

the Commission’s rules applies to ACS 

telephonic CPE the rule sections 

defining the roles of TCBs and the uses 

of Supplier’s Declarations of Conformity 

for wireline handsets used with the 

legacy telephone network. 

• 47 CFR 68.504 of the Commission’s 

rules requires information about ACS 

telephonic CPE to be included in a 

database administered by ACTA. In 

addition, ACS telephonic CPE must be 

labeled as required by ACTA. 

• 47 CFR 68.502(b)–(d) of the 

Commission’s rules requires responsible 

parties to: warrant that ACS telephonic 

CPE complies with applicable 

regulations and technical criteria; give 

the user instructions required by ACTA 

for ACS telephonic CPE that is hearing 

aid compatible; give the user a notice for 

ACS telephonic CPE that is not hearing 

aid compatible; and notify the purchaser 

or user of ACS telephonic CPE whose 

approval is revoked, that the purchaser 

or user must discontinue its use. 

• 47 CFR 68.503 of the Commission’s 

rules requires manufacturers of ACS 

telephonic CPE to designate an agent for 

service of process for complaints that 

may be filed at the FCC. 

Applications for Waiver of HAC 

Requirements 

• 47 CFR 68.5 requires that telephone 

manufacturers seeking a waiver of 47 

CFR 68.4(a)(1) (requiring that certain 

telephones be hearing aid compatible) 

demonstrate that compliance with the 

rule is technologically infeasible or too 

costly. Information is used by FCC staff 

to determine whether to grant or dismiss 

the request.
