On April 6, 2011, the Commission
released an Order adopting final rules - containing several
information collection requirements -- designed to eliminate fraud
and abuse in the provision of VRS, and to ensure the sustainability
and integrity of the TRS program and the TRS Fund. On July 28,
2011, the Commission adopted the VRS Certification Order amending
its rules for certifying iTRS providers as eligible for payment
from the TRS Fund for their provision of iTRS. On October 17, 2011,
the Commission adopted the Second VRS Certification Order
addressing three petitions related to the VRS Certification Order
by revising the burdens contained in the requirements for the
submission of documentation of a provider's VRS equipment and
technologies and the submission of documentation regarding
sponsorship arrangements.
