Summary

In this document, the Commission seeks to modernize the Commission's rules for the priority services programs by removing outdated requirements that may impede the use of internet Protocol- based technologies. It proposes to amend the Commission's rules to reflect the current administrative responsibilities for the priority services programs, while eliminating burdensome administrative requirements that are no longer needed. It also responds to two Petitions for Rulemaking from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, requesting the Commission update its priority services rules.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
