FCC Seeks Comment on the Accessibility of Communications Technologies

The Federal Communications Commission's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB or Bureau) seeks comment in connection with its biennial report required by the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA). The biennial report must be submitted to Congress by October 8, 2026.  In this Public Notice, the FCC invites comment on compliance with statutory mandates for telecommunications and advanced communications services (ACS), equipment used with these services, and Internet browsers built into mobile phones, to be accessible to and usable by people with disabilities.  Furthermore, the FCC seeks comment on the extent that accessibility barriers still exist with respect to new communications technologies and the effect of CVAA recordkeeping and enforcement requirements on the development and deployment of new communications technologies.
