section 64.605(d) of the Commission’s

rules, 47 CFR 64.605(d).

On May 14, 1998, the Commission

adopted a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking that proposes ways to

enhance the quality of existing

telecommunications relay services

(TRS) and expand those services for

better use by individuals with speech

disabilities. See Telecommunications

Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech

Services for Individuals with Hearing

and Speech Disabilities, CC Docket No.

98–67, FCC 98–90 (rel. May 20, 1998).

Because the Commission may adopt

changes to the rules governing relay

programs, including state relay

programs, the certification granted

herein is conditioned on a

demonstration of compliance with any

new rules ultimately adopted by the

Commission. The Commission will

provide guidance to the states on

demonstrating compliance with such

rule changes. This certification, as conditioned

herein, shall remain in effect for a five

year period, beginning July 26, 1998,

and ending July 25, 2003, pursuant to 47

CFR 64.605(c). One year prior to the

expiration of this certification, July 25,

2002, the states may apply for renewal

of their TRS program certifications by

filing documentation in accordance

with the Commission’s rules, pursuant

to 47 CFR 64.605(a) and (b).

Copies of certification letters are

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Common Carrier Bureau,

Network Services Division, Room 235,

2000 M Street, NW, Washington, DC,

Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to
