The Iowa Dual Party Relay Service (DPRS) law found in Iowa Code chapter 477C requires wireless carriers and wire-line local exchange carriers that provide telecommunications service in Iowa to pay three cents ($0.03) per month for each telecommunications service phone number provided in Iowa.
Telecommunications companies report their revenue-producing telecommunications service phone numbers for the previous calendar year in the company's IUB 24/7 company record. All companies maintain a company profile in IUB 24/7, which offers a single place to submit required information and DPRS reports. Invoices are then issued for the assessment amount owed.
Dual Party Relay Service Report Filing Deadline
DPRS reports are made available in January in IUB 24/7 and the annual filing deadline is April 1 for each telecommunications company required to submit the reportable DPRS information.
Note: Please do not edit or submit the report until the IUC has notified your company that the report is available to access for that calendar year.
