Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) requires telecommunications carriers and other providers of telecommunications to contribute to the Telecommunications Relay Service Fund. Contribution revenue data, as well as other information, are reported by carriers on FCC Forms 499-A (annual) and 499-Q (quarterly). Accompanying these forms are instructions on how to report revenue. Pursuant to the "Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010", the Commission is proposing to revise the filing requirement on the FCC Form 499-A to include non-interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol service providers, see FCC 11-38.
