PUBLIC NOTICE
2013
Responsible Party Code (RPC) Data Validation Program
November 1,
2012
Washington,
D.C. – Effective November 1, 2012, the Administrative Council for
Terminal Attachments (ACTA) announces that the Responsible Parties may now
validate their RPC data for the 2013 calendar year. The established fee for
RPC Data Validation is $125.00. A discounted rate of $95.00 will be in
affect from November 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013. RPC Data are required to
be validated on an annual basis.
An important
responsibility of the ACTA is to maintain an accurate and up-to-date
database of all Part 68 Telephone Terminal Equipment (TTE). The
information associated with a Responsible Party Code (RPC) is extremely
important to Federal Communications Commission (FCC), U.S. Customs and
consumers. The RPC is the main piece of information that establishes
the connection between the responsible party and the telephone equipment
stored in the database. As a result, it is imperative that the
information be correct, not only at the time of the filing, but on an
on-going basis.
Inaccurate
contact information associated with an RPC poses a problem not only for FCC,
U.S. Customs and consumers who have questions/issues with products or
company information, but also for ACTA when releasing important information
regarding Part 68 compliance.
The RPC Data
Validation Program is processed through an online system that permits
authorized filers to update and confirm RPC data on an annual basis.
Responsible Party Codes that are updated will be noted by a “label” to
show that the RPC data have been validated and are accurate. On at
least an annual basis, ACTA will provide the FCC with reports detailing
those responsible parties who have, and have not, validated their data.
Questions
and comments about this notice should be submitted to the ACTA Secretariat
via Email at acta@atis.org, or by phone at +1.202.628.6380.
