AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY:

This document contains a correction to the interim regulations of the Commission's rules, which were published in the Federal Register on Monday, August 5, 2011. The interim regulations require Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Service (iTRS) providers certify, under penalty of perjury, that their certification applications and annual compliance filings are truthful, accurate, and complete.

DATES:

Effective June 7, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Gregory Hlibok, Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at [phone] (voice/videophone), or email [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Federal Communications Commission published a document amending 47 CFR 64.606 in the Federal Register of August 5, 2011, (76 FR 47476). The amended rules are necessary to help ensure that the Commission has true and complete information, thereby ensuring that only qualified providers are eligible for compensation from the Interstate TRS Fund (Fund).

Need for Correction

As published, the interim regulations inadvertently omitted regulatory text which may prove to be misleading and needs to be corrected accordingly.
