Title: Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals With Hearing and Speech Disabilities, Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
Abstract: Title IV of the ADA requires the Commission to ensure that TRS is available to the extent possible in the most efficient manner to persons with hearing or speech disabilities in the United States. TRS enables an individual with a hearing or speech disability to communicate by telephone or other assistive communication device. The Commission issued its first order pursuant to title IV of the ADA implementing TRS on July 26, 1991, CC Docket No. 90-571. Since 1991, the Commission has revisited the regulations governing TRS on numerous occasions, in part, to make available to consumers new forms of TRS, and to amend the mandatory minimum standards to improve the quality of TRS, consistent with the goal of functional equivalency set forth in section 225. Through these actions the Commission has broadly defined TRS to include any service that enables persons with hearing or speech disabilities to use the telecommunications network to communicate by wire or radio, and not to be limited to either telecommunications service or services that require a TTY. This docket and RIN flow from CC Docket No. 90-571 AND RIN 3060-AG75.
