Access to Telecommunications Equipment and Services by Persons With Disabilities (Hearing Aid Compatibility)

On November 28, 1995, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding hearing aid compatibility of wireline telephones. Rules proposed in the NPRM would require that all wireline telephones in the workplace, confined settings (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes) and hotels and motels eventually would be hearing aid compatible and have volume control. This NPRM contains proposed or modified information collections subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). It has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Section 3507(d) of the PRA. OMB, the general public, and other Federal agencies are invited to comment on the proposed or modified information collections contained in this proceeding.
