FCC Seeks on
Updating Rules Implementing the Twenty-First Century Communications and
Video Accessibility Act
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently released a public notice inviting comment
on whether any updates are needed to the rules implementing the
Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA)
Most of these rules have been in effect for many years, and
many of them have not been revisited recently, some since initial adoption.
Given changes in technology and industry practices, as well as taking into
account consumer experiences, the Commission seeks comment on whether there
is a need to update these rules.
Interested parties may file comments by accessing the
Electronic Comment Filing System at https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings.
All filings must reference GN Docket No. 21-140. People with
disabilities who need assistance to file comments online may request
assistance by email to FCC504@fcc.gov.
Comment Deadline: May 24, 2021
Reply Comment Deadline: Jun 21, 2021
