The Commission submits this revised information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to modify and extend the information collection requirements under OMB Control Number 3060-0687 relating to the Commission’s hearing aid compatibility (HAC) requirements. These requirements ensure that people with hearing loss (regardless of whether they use hearing aids or not) can effectively use wireline telephone handsets with the legacy telephone network and with advanced communications services (ACS), which include Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The HAC requirements are structured for handsets to provide sufficient magnetic fields to be used by people with hearing aids and to provide volume control.
