| 2011-25756 | Definition of Part 15 Auditory Assistance Device | Proposed Rule | This document proposes to amend the definition of "auditory assistance device" in the Commission's rules to allow such devices to be used by anyone at any location for simultaneous language interpretation, where the spoken words are translated continuously in near real time. This action is taken in response to a petition for declaratory ruling filed by Williams Sound Corporation (Williams Sound Petition), a provider of wireless auditory assistance devices. The current definition restricts the use of part 15 auditory assistance devices that operate in the 72.0-73.0 MHz, 74.6-74.8 MHz, and 75.2-76.0 MHz bands (72-76 MHz bands) to auditory assistance to a handicapped person or persons; such devices may be used for auricular training in an educational institution, for auditory assistance at places of public gatherings, such as a church, theater, or auditorium, and to handicapped individuals, only, in other locations. The proposed amendment would permit part 15 auditory assistance devices that operate in the 72-76 MHz bands to be used by anyone at any location for simultaneous language interpretation. | 2011-10-05 | 2011 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/10/05/2011-25756/definition-of-part-15-auditory-assistance-device | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-10-05/pdf/2011-25756.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | This document proposes to amend the definition of "auditory assistance device" in the Commission's rules to allow such devices to be used by anyone at any location for simultaneous language interpretation, where the spoken words are translated... |
