The FCC’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (Bureau) has extended the filing deadline for comments on the accessibility of communication technologies for the 2014 biennial report to Congress, required by the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), until July 15, 2014. In order to obtain an informed record in time for the delivery of the report to Congress by October 8, 2014, the Bureau originally sought public comment by July 3, 2014. However, after learning that several potential commenters may be unable to provide comments by the original deadline as a result of competing proceedings, summer conferences and other scheduling conflicts, the Bureau determined that an extension is in the public interest and will facilitate the development of a more complete record to inform the 2014 biennial report.
