Abstract: On April 6, 2011, in document FCC 11-54, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) seeking comment on ways to revise the current certification process to ensure that potential providers receiving certification are qualified to provide Internet-based relay service in compliance with the Commission's rules, and to improve the Commission's oversight of such providers. The FNPRM contains potential information collection requirements with respect to the following four of its proposals. The proposals in the FNPRM apply to only Internet-based relay providers seeking certification for eligibility to receive compensation from the telecommunications relay service (TRS) Fund.
