Sec. 68.5 Waivers.
The Commission may, upon the application of any interested person, initiate
a proceeding to waive the requirements of Sec. 68.4(a)(1) with respect to new
telephones, or telephones associated with a new technology or service. The
Commission shall not grant such a waiver unless it determines, on the basis
of evidence in the record of such proceeding, that such telephones, or such
technology or service, are in the public interest, and that (a) compliance
with the requirements of Sec. 68.4(a)(1) is technologically infeasible, or (b)
compliance with such requirements would increase the costs of the
telephones, or of the technology or service, to such an extent that such
telephones, technology, or service could not be successfully marketed. In
any proceeding under this section to grant a waiver from the requirements of
Sec. 68.4(a)(1), the Commission shall consider the effect on hearing-impaired
individuals of granting the waiver. The Commission shall periodically review
and determine the continuing need for any waiver granted pursuant to this
section.
