Order, CG Docket No. 03-123, DA 07-2904
6/29/2007 - The FCC issues an Order continuing the 2006-2007 Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fund compensation rates until such time as new cost recovery methodologies and rates are adopted and effective pursuant to the 2006 TRS Cost Recovery FNPRM. The present per minute compensation rates for the various forms of TRS that will be continued are: $1.291 for interstate traditional TRS; $1.409 for interstate Speech-to-Speech (STS); $1.291 for interstate captioned telephone service; $1.293 for interstate and intrastate IP Relay and interstate and intrastate IP captioned telephone service (IP CTS); and $6.644 for interstate and intrastate Video Relay Service (VRS). The Commission adopts an interim total Fund size of $553,378,363.18 and carrier contribution factor of 0.0072. The Commission expects that these figures will be adjusted if new compensation rates are adopted that differ materially from the present rates.
