Synopsis 

It has come to the Commission’s 

attention that certain 

telecommunications relay service (TRS) 

providers may be improperly 

‘‘rounding’’ up conversation minutes 

that are submitted to the Interstate TRS 

Fund (Fund) each month for payment. 

Providers submitting minutes for 

payment from the Fund must measure 

the conversation time of each call to the 

nearest second, and when the time for 

such calls is expressed in decimal form, 

the relay provider must round the time 

to the nearest tenth of a minute, as set 

forth below. 

Specifically, when recording the 

actual conversation time of each 

completed call, the decimal 

representation of the seconds should 

extend to the tenth of a minute; 

providers may round up only in those 

circumstances where the number in the 

hundredth place is 5 or greater. If the 

number in the hundredth place is not 5 

or greater, then the number in the tenth 

place remains the same. 

For example, if the actual 

conversation time is 34 minutes and 46 

seconds, the decimal expression to the 

hundredth place is 34.76. Because the 

number in the hundredth place (6) is 5 

or greater, the number in the tenth place 

(7) may be rounded up to 8. Therefore, 

the actual conversation time, rounded to 

the nearest one-tenth of a minute and 

used to calculate total monthly 

conversation minutes, is 34.8 minutes. 

A contrasting example, where rounding 

up is not appropriate, is a situation 

where the actual conversation time is 34 

minutes and 32 seconds. For such a call, 

the decimal expression to the hundredth 

place is 34.53. Because the number in 

the hundredth place (3) is less than 5, 

the number in the tenth place (5) 

remains the same and the actual 

conversation time used to calculate total 

monthly conversation minutes is 34.5 

minutes. 

In determining total monthly 

conversation minutes reported to NECA, 

the total conversation minutes of all 

eligible calls (each measured to the 

tenth of a minute, as described above) 

are added together. That total is then 

rounded to the nearest whole number 

(full minute) under the same principle 

set forth above. For instance, if the total 

number of conversation minutes for all 

calls in a particular month is 123,456.8, 

that figure would be rounded up to 

123,457. Similarly, if the figure was 

123,456.4, the figure would be rounded 

down to 123,456. 

For the past several years, NECA has 

provided TRS providers with 

instructions for reporting minutes. 

Interstate Telecommunications Relay 

Service (TRS) Fund Instructions for 

Reporting Minutes Monthly (August 

2004) (Reporting Instructions). In the 

instructions, National Exchange Carrier 

Association (NECA), the Fund 

Administrator, advises that the actual 

conversation time of each completed 

call, in minutes/seconds or minutes/ 

tenths, should be recorded during the 

month, and at the end of the month, the 

provider should total the minutes/ 

seconds or minutes/tenths for each type 

of call by center and round to the 

nearest whole number. The Reporting 

Instructions provide examples of how 

these rounding principles apply in 

determining total monthly minutes, 

stating that: (1) A monthly total of 

180,095 minutes and 41 seconds, or 

180,095.68 minutes, would be rounded 

up to 180,096; and (2) a monthly total 

of 2,437 minutes and 15 seconds, or 

2,437.25 minutes, would be rounded 

down to 2,437. 

The examples set forth herein are 

consistent with these instructions and 

standard rounding principles. 

Therefore, unless and until directed 

otherwise, TRS providers should follow 

the guidelines provided in NECA’s 

Reporting Instructions and in this 

document.

The Center for Mental Health Services 

awards grants each fiscal year to each of 

the States, the District of Columbia, the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the 

Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, 

and the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands from allotments 

authorized under the PATH program

U.S.C. 290cc–21 et seq., the Stewart B. 

McKinney Homeless Assistance 

Amendments Act of 1990 (section 521 et 

seq. of the Public Health Service (PHS)

providing services specified in the Act. 

Available funding is allotted in 

accordance with the formula provision 

of section 524 of the PHS Act. 

This submission is for a revision of 

the current approval of the annual 

grantee reporting requirements. Section 

528 of the PHS Act specifies that not 

later than January 31 of each fiscal year, 

a funded entity will prepare and submit 

a report in such form and containing 

such information as is determined 

necessary for securing a record and 

description of the purposes for which 

amounts received under section 521 

were expended during the preceding 

fiscal year and of the recipients of such 

amounts and determining whether such 

amounts were expended in accordance 

with statutory provisions. 

The proposed changes to the PATH 

Annual Report Survey are as follows: 

• Reporting on all persons served 

with PATH Federal and matching State 

funds. 

Additional Optional Questions:
