This document seeks public comment on various matters concerning Internet Protocol (IP) Relay and Video Relay Service (VRS), including the appropriate cost recovery methodology for VRS, possible mechanisms to determine which IP Relay and VRS calls are intrastate and which are interstate for purposes of reimbursement, whether IP Rely and VRS should become mandatory TRS services, whether IP Relay and VRS should be required to be offered 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and whether, when, and how we should apply the speed of answer rule to the provision of VRS. We also seek comment on redefining the composition, functions, and responsibilities of TRS Advisory Council, and on issues relating to the abuse of CAs by persons using TRS.
