[nfbwatlk] Deaf-blind equipment program extended

[Becky Frankeberger]

On February 7, 2014, the

FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau released an Order 

 announcing the extension of the pilot program for the National 

 Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program (NDBEDP) for an additional 

 year, until June  30, 2015.  The NDBEDP was established pursuant to 

 the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act 

 (CVAA).  The CVAA authorizes the FCC to provide up to $10 million 

 annually for the distribution of accessible communications equipment 

 to  low-income individuals who are deaf-blind.
