SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 7, 2010, in document DA 10-2318, 
Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the establishment, and 
appointment of members and Co-Chairpersons, of the EAAC, an advisory 
committee required by the Twenty-first Century Communications and Video 
Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law 111-260 (Communications 
Accessibility Act), which directs that an advisory committee be 
established, for the purpose of achieving equal access to emergency 
services by individuals with disabilities as part of our nation's 
migration to a national Internet protocol-enabled emergency network, 
also known as the next generation 9-1-1 system (``NG9-1-1'').
    The purpose of the EAAC is to determine the most effective and 
efficient technologies and methods by which to enable access to NG9-1-1 
emergency services by individuals with disabilities. In order to 
fulfill this mission, the Communications Accessibility Act directs that 
within one year after the EAAC's members are appointed, the Committee 
shall conduct a national survey, with the input of groups represented 
by the Committee's membership, after which the Committee shall develop 
and submit to the Commission recommendations to implement such 
technologies and methods.
    To request materials in accessible formats for people with 
disabilities (Braille, large print, electronic files, audio format),
