SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 7, 2010, in document DA 10-2318, 

Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the establishment, and 

appointment of members and Co-Chairpersons, of the EAAC, an advisory 

committee required by the CVAA, Public Law 111-260, which directs that 

an advisory committee be established, for the purpose of achieving 

equal access to emergency services by individuals with disabilities as 

part of our nation's migration to a national Internet protocol-enabled 

emergency network, also known NG9-1-1.

    The purpose of the EAAC is to determine the most effective and 

efficient technologies and methods by which to enable access to NG9-1-1 

emergency services by individuals with disabilities. In order to 

fulfill this mission, the CVAA directs that within one year after the 

EAAC's members are appointed, the Committee shall conduct a national 

survey, with the input of groups represented by the Committee's 

membership, after which the Committee shall develop and submit to the 

Commission recommendations to implement such technologies and methods.

    The meeting site is fully accessible to people using wheelchairs or 

other mobility aids. Sign language interpreters, open captioning, and 

assistive listening devices will be provided on site. Other reasonable 

accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. 

In your request, include a description of the accommodation you will 

need and a way we can contact you if we need more information. Last 

minute requests will be accepted, but may be impossible to fill. Send 

an e-mail to: [email protected] or call the Consumer and Governmental 

Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (TTY).
