The Interstate TRS Fund was established by the FCC on July 26, 1993. Initially, only interstate TRS minutes were reimbursed from the fund. Over the years, the FCC has authorized the reimbursement of other services and, today, the fund reimburses relay service providers for completed interstate traditional TRS and speech to speech (STS) minutes of use and for all completed Internet protocol (IP) relay service and video relay service (VRS) minutes of use.
NECA was appointed fund administrator by the FCC in 1993 for two years, and reappointed in 1995 and 1998 to four year terms.
