Re: Applications for TRS Certification

Date: January 21, 2003

Under Title IV of the ADA, states may receive certification to operate their own relay programs so long as they receive certification to do so from the FCC. Generally, the FCC grants certification to states in 5-year increments. This year and last many of these certifications expired, and states have been refiling applications for new certifications to continue providing relay services. The following is a notice about 12 applications filed for state certification of TRS. As you can see, comments are due on February 17, 2003, and reply comments are due on March 3, 2003.

Released: 01/15/2003. NOTICE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SERVICE (TRS) APPLICATIONS FOR STATE CERTIFICATION ACCEPTED, PLEADING CYCLE ESTABLISHED FOR COMMENT ON TRS CERTIFICATION APPLICATIONS. (DA No. 03-99). (Dkt No 98-67).

Comments Due: 02/17/2003.
