Comments Sought on Suicide Number Petition

The FCC seeks comment on a petition for rulemaking filed by Care2, Inc., asking the FCC to establish a nationwide three-digit number for suicide hotlines. Care2 filed its petition in February with 30,188 signatures of people who say they support such a number. The group said the designation of a three-digit number would particularly benefit veterans and teens who might commit suicide. Comments are due May 11 in Rulemaking 11746.
