to read as follows:


Sec.  64.611  Internet-based TRS registration.

    (a) * * *
    (4) * * *
    (i) Each VRS provider must obtain, from each new and existing 
registered internet-based TRS user, consent to transmit the registered 
internet-based TRS user's information to the TRS User Registration 
Database. Prior to obtaining consent, the VRS provider must describe to 
the registered internet-based TRS user, using clear, easily understood 
language, the specific information being transmitted, that the 
information is being transmitted to the TRS User Registration Database 
to ensure proper administration of the TRS program, and that failure to 
provide consent will result in the registered internet-based TRS user 
being denied service. VRS providers must obtain and keep a record of 
affirmative acknowledgment by every registered internet-based TRS user 
of such consent.
    (ii) VRS providers must, for existing registered internet-based TRS 
users, submit the information in paragraph (a)(3) of this section to 
the TRS User Registration Database within 60 days of notice from the 
Commission that the TRS User Registration Database is ready to accept 
such information. Calls from or to existing registered internet-based 
TRS users that have not had their information populated in the TRS User 
Registration Database within 60 days of notice from the Commission that 
the TRS User Registration Database is ready to accept such information 
shall not be compensable.
    (iii) VRS providers must submit the information in paragraph (a)(4) 
of this section upon initiation of service for users registered after 
60 days of notice from the Commission that the TRS User Registration 
Database is ready to accept such information.
