Abstract
In this document, as part of the Commission's continued implementation of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 ("CVAA"), it concludes that clips of video programming covered by the statute must be captioned when delivered using Internet protocol ("IP"). The Commission adopts rules governing such captioning and sets out a schedule of deadlines. These requirements will apply where a video programming distributor or provider posts on its Web site or application a video clip of video programming that it published or exhibited on television with captions on or after the applicable compliance deadline.
