disclosure is restricted by statute. Do 

not submit information that you

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment.

05–196; DA 09–870] 

Pleading Cycle Established for Filing 

of Oppositions To Petition for Partial 

Reconsideration and Limited Waiver,

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission, via the Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau, 

announces the filing of petitions for 

partial reconsideration by 

Telecommunications for the Deaf and 

Hard of Hearing, Inc. and five consumer 

organizations (TDI Coalition), and 

GoAmerica, Inc. (GoAmerica). 

Petitioners seek reconsideration of the 

eligibility requirement that limits the 

assignment of ten-digit telephone 

numbers to individuals who are deaf or 

hard of hearing or who have a speech 

disability. Additionally, GoAmerica 

seeks reconsideration, or a limited 

waiver for six months, of the 

requirement that Internet-based TRS 

providers must answer a call back from 

the Public Safety Answering Point 

(PSAP) with priority (i.e., move the call 

to the top of the queue). 

DATES: Oppositions are due on or before 

June 4, 2009 and replies to oppositions 

are due on or before June 15, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Pursuant to 47 CFR 1.429(f) 

and (g), interested parties may submit 

oppositions or replies to oppositions 

identified by [CG Docket No. 03–123 

and WC Docket No. 05–196], by any of 

the following methods:

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting electronic 

filings. 

• Federal Communications 

Commission’s Electronic Comment 

Filing System (ECFS): Follow the 

instructions for submitting electronic 

filings. 

• By filing paper copies. 

For electronic filers through ECFS or 

the Federal eRulemaking Portal, because 

multiple docket numbers appear in the 

caption of this proceeding, filers must 

transmit one electronic copy of the 

opposition or reply to opposition to 

each docket number referenced in the 

caption. In completing the transmittal 

screen, filers should include their full 

name, U.S. Postal Service mailing 

address, and the applicable docket 

number. Parties may also submit an 

electronic comment by Internet e-mail. 

To get filing instructions, filers should 

send an e-mail to ecfs@fcc.gov, and 

include the following words in the body 

of the message, ‘‘get form.’’ A sample 

form and directions will be sent in 

response. 

Paper Filers: Parties who choose to 

file by paper must file an original and 

four copies of each filing. Because more 

than one docket number appears in the 

caption in this proceeding, filers must 

submit two additional copies for each 

additional docket number. Filings can 

be sent by hand or messenger delivery, 

by commercial overnight courier, or by 

first-class or overnight U.S. Postal

formatted in an IBM compatible format 

using Word 2003 or compatible

should be submitted in ‘‘read only’’ 

mode. It should also be clearly labeled 

with the party’s name, the proceedings 

(including the docket numbers) which 

in this case are [CG Docket No. 03–123 

and WC 05–196], type of pleading 

(opposition or reply to opposition), date 

of submission, and the name of the 

electronic file on the compact disc. The 

label should also include the following 

phrase ‘‘Disc Copy—Not an Original.’’ 

Each compact disc should contain only 

one party’s pleadings, preferably in a 

single electronic file. In addition, paper 

filers must send compact disc copies to 

the Commission’s copy contractor, 

Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room

Synopsis 

In the Second Internet-Based TRS 

Order, the Commission concluded, in 

part, that only individuals with a 

hearing or speech disability will be 

eligible to obtain ten-digit telephone 

numbers under the numbering system 

adopted in the Telecommunications 

Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech 

Services for Individuals with Hearing 

and Speech Disabilities; E911 

Requirement for IP-Enabled Service 

Providers, CG Docket No. 03–123, WC 

Docket No. 05–196, Report and Order 

and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, document FCC 08–151 

(Internet-Based TRS Order); published 

at 73 FR 41286, July 18, 2008 and 73 FR 

41307, July 18, 2008. To this end, the 

Commission also required providers to 

verify that persons receiving ten-digit 

numbers ‘‘have a medically recognized 

hearing or speech disability 

necessitating their use of TRS’’ through 

a self-certification process. TDI 

Coalition and GoAmerica seek 

reconsideration of this eligibility 

requirement that limits the assignment 

of ten-digit telephone numbers to 

individuals who are deaf or hard of 

hearing or who have a speech disability. 

TDI Coalition and GoAmerica contend, 

in part, that allowing assignment of tendigit numbers to hearing persons would 

facilitate point-to-point (i.e., non-relay) 

calls between a voice telephone user 

and an individual with a hearing or 

speech disability, and therefore reduce 

the number of VRS calls that are 

compensated from the Interstate TRS 

Fund. 

In addition, GoAmerica requests that 

the Commission grant reconsideration 

or a limited waiver for six months of the 

requirement that Internet-based TRS 

providers answer a call back from the 

PSAP with priority. GoAmerica asserts 

that providers are not capable of 

meeting this requirement at the present 

time and are working collaboratively on 

a technical solution.
