COAT recommendation: Reinstate the FCC’s modest regulations on video description and authorize the FCC to promulgate future rules to (a) further expand coverage of the video description rules, (b) require non-visual access to on-screen emergency warnings and similar televised information, and (c) ensure that the new DTV standard includes the capacity to deliver video description. Video description is the provision of verbal descriptions of on-screen visual elements that are provided during natural pauses in dialogue.
