Synopsis
On May 18, 2007, Hawk filed its
DBRS Petition for clarification
proposing DBRS as a form of TRS
compensable from the Interstate TRS
Fund. As described by Hawk, its
proposed DBRS would use an
interpreter (a ‘‘Communications
Facilitator’’ (CF)) to sit with the deaf/
blind user, place or receive
conventional voice-to-voice telephone
calls on his or her behalf, and interpret
the ensuing conversation(s). The CF
would travel to the DBRS consumer’s
location to assist in placing the call.
Alternatively, a DBRS consumer could
travel to a regional DBRS center to place
a call through a CF.
The Bureau seeks comment on the
DBRS Petition, including, specifically,
whether DBRS falls within the
definition of TRS as set forth in section
225(a)(3) of the Communications Act of
1934, 47 U.S.C. 225(a)(3). The Bureau
notes, for example, that Hawk’s
proposed DBRS does not fit within the
typical two-leg relay paradigm in which
a relay center receives and places
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
inbound and outbound calls between
the end users to the relay call. Instead,
the DBRS would employ a CF to assist
the caller, in person, in making a
telephone call.
