    REQUEST ON BEHALF OF THE COVERED ENTITIES OF THE HEARING AID
    COMPATIBILITY TASK FORCE

    The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau seeks comment on a petition for
    waiver (Petition) filed by ATIS requesting waiver of section
    20.19(b)(1) and (b)(3) of the CommissionrCOs rules for all entities

    allow wireless handsets to satisfy a reduced volume control testing
    methodology to be certified as hearing-aid compatible. In particular,
    we seek comment on this waiver request in the context of the
    CommissionrCOs commitment to attaining 100% hearing aid compatibility of covered wireless handsets, as soon as achievable, as well as the
    CommissionrCOs previous finding that a volume control requirement is
    necessary rCLto ensure the provision of effective telecommunications for
    people with hearing loss.rCY
