## Text

(a) A covered provider shall offer a survivor the ability to submit a line separation request through secure remote means that are easily navigable, provided that remote options are commercially available and technically feasible. A covered provider shall offer more than one remote means of submitting a line separation request and shall offer alternative means to accommodate individuals with different disabilities. A covered provider may offer means of submitting a line separation request that are not remote if the provider does not require a survivor to use such non-remote means or make it more difficult for survivors to access remote means than to access non-remote means. For purposes of this subpart, remote means are those that do not require a survivor to interact in person with an employee of the covered provider at a physical location.
(b) The means a covered provider offers pursuant to this section must allow survivors to submit any information and documentation required by 47 U.S.C. 345 and this subpart. A covered provider may offer means that allow or require survivors to initiate a request using one method and submit documentation using another method. A covered provider shall permit a survivor to submit any documentation required by 47 U.S.C. 345 and this subpart in any common format.
(c) Any means that a covered provider offers pursuant to this section shall:
(1) Use wording that is simple, clear, and concise;
(2) Present the information requests in a format that is easy to comprehend and use;
(3) Generally use the same wording and format on all platforms available for submitting a request;
(4) Clearly identify the information and documentation that a survivor must include with a line separation request and allow survivors to provide that information and documentation easily;
(5) Be available in all the languages in which the covered provider advertises its services; and
rehend and use;
(3) Generally use the same wording and format on all platforms available for submitting a request;

(5) Be available in all the languages in which the covered provider advertises its services; and

e.g.,
