Notice of apparent Liability for forfeiture
Adopted: January 14, 2010 Released: January 14, 2010
By the Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, Enforcement Bureau:
I. introduction
1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find
that ACS Wireless, Inc. ("ACSW"), a subsidiary of Alaska
Communications Systems, apparently willfully violated the wireless
handset hearing aid compatibility status report filing requirements
set forth in Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules")
and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated the public web site
posting requirements set forth in Section 20.19(h) of the Rules. For
these apparent violations, we propose a total forfeiture in the amount
of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000).
II. BACKGROUND
2. In the 2003 Hearing Aid Compatibility Order, the Commission adopted
several measures to enhance the ability of individuals with hearing
disabilities to access digital wireless telecommunications. The
Commission established technical standards that digital wireless
handsets must meet to be considered compatible with hearing aids
operating in acoustic coupling and inductive coupling (telecoil)
modes. The Commission further established, for each standard,
deadlines by which manufacturers and service providers were required
to offer specified numbers or percentages of digital wireless handsets
per air interface that are compliant with the relevant standard if
they did not come under the de minimis exception. In February 2008, as
part of a comprehensive reconsideration of the effectiveness of the
hearing aid compatibility rules, the Commission released an order
that, among other things, adopted new compatible handset deployment
benchmarks beginning in 2008.
3. Of primary relevance, the Commission also adopted reporting
requirements to ensure that it could monitor the availability of
hearing aid-compatible digital wireless handsets and to provide
valuable information to the public concerning the technical testing
and commercial availability of hearing aid-compatible handsets,
including on the Internet. The Commission initially required
manufacturers and digital wireless service providers to report every
six months on efforts toward compliance with the hearing aid
compatibility requirements for the first three years of implementation
(May 17, 2004, November 17, 2004, May 17, 2005, November 17, 2005, May
17, 2006 and November 17, 2006), and then annually thereafter through
the fifth year of implementation (November 19, 2007 and November 17,
2008). In its 2008 Hearing Aid Compatibility First Report and Order,
the Commission extended these reporting requirements with certain
modifications on an open ended basis, beginning January 15, 2009. The
Commission also made clear that these reporting requirements apply to
service providers that fit within the de minimis exception. In
addition, the Commission instituted a requirement that manufacturers
and service providers with publicly-accessible web sites maintain a
list of hearing aid-compatible handset models and certain information
regarding those models on their web sites. The web site postings,
which must be updated within 30 days of a change in a manufacturer's
or service provider's offerings, will enable consumers to obtain
up-to-date hearing aid compatibility information from their service
providers.
4. ACSW, a provider of digital wireless service, failed to file the
required hearing aid compatibility status report for the period July
1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 (due January 15, 2009). ACSW also
failed to post on its web site required information concerning the
ratings and level of functionality of its hearing aid-compatible
handset models. The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("WTB")
referred ACSW's apparent violation of the reporting requirement to the
Enforcement Bureau for possible enforcement action.
5. On October 1, 2009, the Enforcement Bureau's Spectrum Enforcement
Division ("Division") issued ACSW a Letter of Inquiry ("LOI"), to
which ACSW responded on October 20, 2009. ACSW admitted that it failed
to submit the January 15, 2009 report. ACSW further stated that it
lists all hearing aid-compatible models currently offered on its web
site. ACSW admitted, however, that it failed to provide information on
the ratings of those models, an explanation of the rating system, the
level of functionality for each model, and an explanation of its
methodology for designating levels of functionality. ACSW asserted
that it misread the requirements of the regulation and thought that
the reporting requirements were a Tier I carrier responsibility. ACSW
stated that after re-reading the rules, it realized that the reporting
requirements apply to all wireless service providers, including Tier
III carriers such as ACSW, and that, consequently, it has begun taking
steps to come into compliance with the requirements of Sections
20.19(h) and (i)(1) of the Rules.
III. DISCUSSION
A. Failure to File Timely Hearing Aid Compatibility Status Report
6. Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules requires service providers to submit
hearing aid compatibility status reports under the current rules on
January 15, 2009 (covering the six month period ending December 31,
2008) and then annually thereafter. These reports are necessary to
enable the Commission to perform its enforcement function and evaluate
whether ACSW is in compliance with Commission mandates that were
adopted to facilitate the accessibility of hearing aid-compatible
wireless handsets. These reports also provide valuable information to
the public concerning the technical testing and commercial
availability of hearing aid-compatible handsets. ACSW admitted that
it did not file the required hearing aid compatibility status report
on January 15, 2009. Accordingly, we find that ACSW failed to timely
file the hearing aid compatibility status report due on January 15,
2009 in apparent willful violation of the requirements set forth in
Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules.
A. Failure to Post Required Information Concerning Hearing
Aid-Compatible Handset Models on its Public Web Site
7. Section 20.19(h) of the Rules requires that, beginning January 15,
2009, each manufacturer and service provider that operates a
publicly-accessible web site make available on its web site a list of
all hearing aid-compatible handset models currently offered, the
ratings of those models, and an explanation of the rating system. In
addition, the Commission has stated that any changes to a
manufacturer's or service provider's offerings must be reflected on
its public web site listing within 30 days of the change. These web
site postings provide consumers up-to-date hearing aid compatibility
information.
8. ACSW offers a number of wireless phones and plans, which are
advertised on its publicly accessible website, and its website also
lists all hearing aid-compatible models currently offered. ACSW
admitted, however, that it failed to provide information on the
ratings of those models and an explanation of the rating system within
the required timeframe. ACSW also admitted that it did not specify the
level of functionality for each model and provide an explanation of
its methodology for designating levels of functionality on its web
site. Accordingly, we find that ACSW failed to meet the web site
information posting requirements in apparent willful and repeated
violation of Section 20.19(h) of the Rules.
A. Proposed Forfeiture
9. Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act, any person who is determined by
the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with
any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by
the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture
penalty. To impose such a forfeiture penalty, the Commission must
issue a notice of apparent liability and the person against whom such
notice has been issued must have an opportunity to show, in writing,
why no such forfeiture penalty should be imposed. The Commission will
then issue a forfeiture if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence
that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. Under this
standard, we conclude that ACSW is apparently liable for forfeiture
for its failure to timely file the required hearing aid compatibility
status report in apparent willful violation of Section 20.19(i)(1) of
the Rules, and for its failure to post the required information
regarding its hearing aid-compatible handsets on its web site in
apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 20.19(h) of the
Rules.
10. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of
the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to
file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture
requirements are guidelines lending some predictability to the
forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart
from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis,
under its general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of the
Act. In exercising such discretion, we are required to take into
account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the
violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of
culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such
other matters as justice may require."
11. We have exercised our discretion to set a higher base forfeiture
amount for violations of the wireless hearing aid compatibility
reporting requirements. In the American Samoa Telecommunications
Authority NAL, we found that the status reports are essential to the
implementation and enforcement of the hearing aid compatibility rules.
The Commission relies on these reports to provide consumers with
information regarding the technical specifications and commercial
availability of hearing aid-compatible digital wireless handsets and
to hold the digital wireless industry accountable to the increasing
number of hearing-impaired individuals. We noted that when setting an
$8,000 base forfeiture for violations of the hearing aid-compatible
handset labeling requirements, the Commission emphasized that
individuals with hearing impairments could only take advantage of
critically important public safety benefits of digital wireless
services if they had access to accurate information regarding hearing
aid compatibility features of handsets. We also noted that the
Commission has upwardly adjusted the base forfeiture when
noncompliance with filing requirements interferes with the accurate
administration and enforcement of Commission rules. Because the
failure to file hearing aid compatibility status reports implicates
similar public safety and enforcement concerns, we exercised our
discretionary authority and established a base forfeiture amount of
$6,000 for failure to file a hearing aid compatibility report.
Consistent with ASTCA, we believe the established $6,000 base
forfeiture for violation of the hearing aid compatibility reporting
requirement should apply here, for a proposed forfeiture of $6,000.
12. Failure to file these reports, as is the case here, can have an
adverse impact on the Commission's ability to ensure the commercial
availability of hearing aid-compatible digital wireless handsets, to
the detriment of consumers. We do not believe that the circumstances
presented warrant any downward adjustment of the proposed forfeiture
amount. It is well established that a violator's lack of knowledge or
erroneous beliefs are not a mitigating factor warranting a forfeiture
reduction. Accordingly, we propose a forfeiture of $6,000 against ACSW
for apparently willfully failing to timely file its January 15, 2009
hearing aid compatibility status report in violation of Section
20.19(i)(1) of the Rules.
13. Turning to the violation of the web posting requirements, no base
forfeiture amount has previously been established for violation of
Section 20.19(h) of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy
Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no
forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states
that "any omission of a specific rule violation" from the forfeiture
guidelines "should not signal that the Commission considers any
unlisted violation as nonexistent or unimportant." The Commission
retains the discretion, moreover, to depart from the Forfeiture Policy
Statement and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis, under its
general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of the Act. As
noted above, the base forfeiture amount for "failure to file required
forms or information" is $3,000. In determining the appropriate
forfeiture amount for violation of the web site information posting
requirements, we take into account that these requirements are
"essential to the proper functioning of our hearing aid compatibility
rules" and serve to increase the availability of up-to-date hearing
aid compatibility information to consumers and service providers.
Thus, we view a manufacturer's or service provider's failure to list
the required hearing aid-compatible handset information on its web
site as similar to its failure to submit the required hearing aid
compatibility status report.
14. In particular, we find that the website may be the primary means
through which consumers obtain information, and that the updated
information between status reports is likely to be critical to both
consumers and service providers. As the Commission noted in the 2008
Hearing Aid Compatibility First Report and Order, information provided
in the status reports will inevitably become dated over the course of
a year. The web site postings, which must be updated within 30 days of
a change in a manufacturer's or service provider's offerings, will
enable consumers to obtain up-to-date hearing aid compatibility
information from their service providers and will also enable service
providers to readily obtain up-to-date information from their
manufacturer suppliers. Accordingly, the same considerations that led
us to increase the base forfeiture for hearing aid compatibility
status reporting violations also apply to the requirement for web
posting. We therefore establish $6,000 as the base forfeiture amount
for violation of Section 20.19(h).
15. As noted above, ACSW acknowledged that it failed to provide
information about the ratings of its hearing aid-compatible handset
models or an explanation of the rating system on its web site, and did
not specify the level of functionality for each model and provide an
explanation of its methodology for designating levels of functionality
on its web site. ACSW presents no mitigating factors in its LOI
Response justifying a downward adjustment to the $6,000 base
forfeiture. We do not view ACSW's mere listing of hearing
aid-compatible handsets on its web site as material compliance with
the rule because it does not provide consumers sufficient information
to make informed decisions about hearing aid-compatible handsets.
Accordingly, we propose a forfeiture of $6,000 against ACSW for
apparently willfully and repeatedly failing to provide required
information concerning its hearing aid-compatible handset models on
its public web site in violation of Section 20.19(h) of the Rules.
16. Thus, we propose an aggregate forfeiture of $12,000 against ACSW for
its apparent willful violation of Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules and
its apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 20.19(h) of the
Rules.
IV. ORDERING clauses

The term "air interface" refers to the technical protocol that ensures
compatibility between mobile radio service equipment, such as handsets,
and the service provider's base stations. Currently, the leading air
interfaces include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM), Integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network (iDEN)
and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) a/k/a Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS).
See Hearing Aid Compatibility Order, 18 FCC Rcd at 16780 P: 65; 47 C.F.R.
S:S: 20.19(c), (d). The de minimis exception provides that manufacturers
or mobile service providers that offer two or fewer digital wireless
handset models per air interface are exempt from the hearing aid
compatibility deployment requirements, and manufacturers or mobile service
providers that offer three digital wireless handset models per air
interface must offer at least one compliant model. 47 C.F.R. S: 20.19(e).
