FCC needs to hear from you! Four simple steps for you to share your experiences and why we need direct communication without using an interpreter for 9-1-1 calls. Deadline is August 10th to leave comments.
Step 1:

Step 2: After you enter the link to get on the page: the first line of the form will be the “Proceeding Box”.
