FCC Approves TRS Fund Contribution Factors

The FCC Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau established the total funding requirement and approved contribution factors for the interstate telecommunications relay services (TRS) fund for a one-year period ending June 30, 2026. The FCC previously took comments (see 2506090018). Contribution factors determine the amounts that carriers and other covered service providers must contribute to the fund.

The net funding requirement is $1.479 billion, a reduction of $11 million over the prior fund year, said Monday's order. The bureau also approved carrier contribution factors of 0.00025 for support of TRS through state programs and 0.02086 for support of internet-based TRS.
