  • Descrição: During the May 13 oral argument, Circuit Judge Thomas B. Griffith asked FCC attorney C. Grey Pash Jr., "what's the emergency here" that would justify bypassing the Administrative Procedure Act's notice-and-comment requirements as the FCC did in adopting the interim rules. "It's kind of extreme," Judge Griffith said. He asked why the FCC could not have "raised the tax," or carrier contribution assessed on interstate telecom service end-user revenues, to cover the increased demand for reimbursement. Judge Griffith response, "Prophylactic of what?" He asked for a prior case in which a court upheld action by an agency that "has said, 'we don't know what is going on out there, but let us regulate in case.'" He said that the FCC in this case appeared to have acted "on a hunch." Judge [Patricia A. Millett] asked, "What relationship does the $75 have to legitimate use of this service?" She questioned the correlation between "your ability to pay $75" and hearing loss. Mr. Pash cited statements by other TRS providers that the "best evidence" of users' need for IP CTS lies in their "willingness to pay" for the equipment. Judge Millett noted that "the number eligible [for IP CTS] vastly exceeds" those enrolled for the service, "by millions versus thousands." She added, "The fund ultimately is just how much assessment [the FCC authorizes]. Isn't it your job to make sure that there's enough in the fund for everyone who is eligible?"
