Abstract: The Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice) on June 11, 2008, proposing rules to govern providers of three forms of Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) specifically, Video Relay Service (VRS), Internet Protocol Relay Service (IP Relay), and Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service (IP CTS) in supplying numbering and E911 capabilities to their users. In addition, the Notice proposes rules with respect to consumer privacy that would govern TRS providers generally. Specifically, the Notice proposed seven separate information collections or modifications to existing information collections: (A) Provision of Registered Location to Non-Default Providers. The Notice proposes to allow non-default providers access to Registered Location information for routing emergency calls to the appropriate emergency services authorities if the caller does not place the emergency call through the default provider. (B) Inter-Provider Signaling. The Notice proposes that Internet-based TRS providers engage in inter-provider signaling and transfer of information for purposes such as registering end users Internet-based TRS devices, verifying end users registration, as well as transitioning to future standards-based signaling and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based end devices. (can we add a footnote explaining the term) (C) Device Registration. The Notice proposes to require device registration, inter alia, so that default Internet-based TRS providers only accept calls from their own registered Internet-based TRS users, from the public switched telephone network (PSTN), or from another Internet-based TRS provider. (D) Verification of Registration. The Notice proposes that Internet-based TRS providers implement a closed system requiring Internet-based TRS providers to validate the registration of users before completing non-emergency calls to help curb IP Relay fraud. (E) Slamming. The Notice proposes to adopt rules to protect relay consumers against unauthorized default provider changes. One way in which this could be done is to extend to Internet-based TRS providers existing rules and procedures, set forth in 47 C.F.R. Subpart K, protecting consumers against unauthorized carrier changes; among other options is to adopt a parallel set of rules for submitting or executing a change on behalf of an Internet-based TRS user in the selection of a default provider, modeled after the Commissions current slamming regulations. The Notice further proposes to require Internet-based TRS providers to either: (1) obtain the Internet-based TRS users written or electronically signed authorization; or (2) obtain the Internet-based TRS users electronic authorization. (F) Consumer Privacy. The Notice proposes to extend to Internet-based TRS providers existing Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) rules, set forth in 47 C.F.R. Subpart U, to ensure the privacy and security of Internet-based TRS users call records or other personally identifiable account or usage information, including their Registered Location information. It also seeks comment on whether such rules should apply to all TRS providers. (G) Extending Information Collections to IP CTS. The Notice proposes to extend the information collections adopted in the Commissions Order as well as the proposals for inter-provider signaling, provision of Registered Location to non-default providers, slamming, and consumer privacy regulations set forth in the Notice to IP CTS providers.

Short Statement: The Notice proposes additional rules, and revises the information collections in 3060-1089, to enhance the transfer of information among Internet-based TRS providers as well as enhance the security of the ten-digit numbering system adopted in the Order. The Notice also proposes information collections on IP CTS providers, so that users of IP CTS may benefit from the numbering system adopted in the Order. IP CTS providers, however, will already collect this information as they also provider VRS and IP Relay services. The Notice proposes new information collections to implement the slamming and customer privacy protections for Internet-based TRS users.
