<p class="MsoNormal">On August 1, 2014, the FCC released a
Public Notice asking for comments about the National
Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program (NDBEDP).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NDBEDP is a program that the FCC
established as directed by the Twenty-First Century
Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA).
The NDBEDP provides funding support for the distribution
of equipment needed to access telecommunications, advanced
communications services, and the Internet to low-income
individuals who are deaf-blind. The NDBEDP has been
operating as a pilot program since July 1, 2012. The
rules governing the pilot program will expire on June 30,
2015.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this Public Notice, the FCC invites
the public to provide feedback on ways that the FCC can
make the NDBEDP more effective and more efficient. This
feedback will help the FCC establish rules to continue the
NDBEDP as a permanent program when the pilot program ends.<o:p></o:p></p>
