Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2005 / Notices
appears that at least one carrier is
providing E911 service for MLTSs under
tariff in at least one state, and that
carrier works with individual MLTS
operators elsewhere within its footprint
to implement customer-specific
solutions if such are economically and
technically feasible. We seek comment
regarding the availability of E911/MLTS
services offered under tariff or otherwise
both in states that have passed E911/
MLTS legislation or adopted E911/
MLTS regulations and in states that
have not. In particular, where these
services are offered absent state
legislative or regulatory action, we seek
comment regarding the reasons the
services were developed.
Specifically, commenters should (1)
identify the carrier and the state or
states in which that carrier offers or
plans to offer E911 service for MLTSs;
(2) provide links to the carrier’s
published tariffs, and identify the
effective dates of those tariffs, where
applicable; (3) identify the salient
technical features of each service offered
under tariff, including but not limited to
which MLTS technologies are supported
(e.g., Centrex, analog PBX, ISDN PBX,
non-ISDN digital PBX, IP–PBX, or key
system), which E911 MLTS-to-network
technical interface standards or other
specifications are supported (e.g.,
CAMA or Primary Rate Access (PRA)
ISDN), and any special requirements
regarding trunking arrangements or the
use of Direct Inward Dial (DID)
numbers; (4) identify salient operational
characteristics of the service; (5) identify
the Automatic Location Identification
(ALI) database interface options and
costs for MLTS operators, the
procedural impacts on MLTS operators,
and the ALI database interface standards
or specifications supported; (6) indicate
whether PSAPs generally have been able
to receive and utilize the ALI and callback information provided and, if not,
why not; (7) estimate the degree to
which the offerings satisfy or cover the
MLTS market; and (8) identify real or
perceived technical, economic,
operational and other impediments to
full E911 coverage for MLTSs.
Where specific technical features are
required by state legislation or
regulation, we ask that commenters
identify those features. For those states
where E911/MLTS service is provided
under customer-specific arrangements,
such as individual case basis (ICB)
arrangements, we ask that commenters
present and discuss all relevant
information to allow us to characterize
the available technical features. In each
case, commenters should be sufficiently
complete and specific in their
descriptions of requirements and

references to standards to enable us to
develop a comprehensive picture of
commonalities and differences in E911/
MLTS implementation across the states.

Study Evaluating, and Making
Recommendations for Improving, the
Financial Disclosure Process for
Employees of the Executive Branch;
Opportunity for Comment
AGENCY:
Office of Government Ethics
(OGE).
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Office of Government
Ethics is conducting a study, pursuant
to the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, to
evaluate and recommend improvements
to the public financial disclosure
process for employees of the executive
branch. This notice indicates the
pendency of OGE’s study and provides
the public and agencies the opportunity
to comment.
DATES: Any comments from the public
and the agencies must be received by
February 11, 2005.
VerDate jul<14>2003

You may submit comments
to OGE on the study by any of the
following methods:
• E-mail: usoge@oge.gov. For E-mail
messages, the subject line should
include the following reference:
‘‘Comments Regarding Financial
Disclosure Process Study.’’
• FAX: 202–482–9237.
• Mail, Hand Delivery or Courier:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ira
S. Kaye, Associate General Counsel,
Office of Government Ethics, telephone:
202–482–9300; TDD: 202–482–9293;
FAX: 202–482–9237.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
8403 of the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004,
Public Law 108–458 (December 17,
2004), directs the Office of Government
Ethics to provide a report to Congress,
within 90 days, evaluating the financial
disclosure process for employees of the
executive branch, and recommending
improvements to it. In order to comply
with this mandate, OGE has undertaken
a study of this subject. OGE’s report will
focus on whether to recommend
amending the body of information that
is statutorily required to be included on
the Standard Form (SF) 278 Executive
Branch Personnel Public Financial
Disclosure Report, as well as whether to
recommend changes to the public
financial disclosure system itself.
Specifically, OGE will analyze whether
to recommend changing: the number of
asset, income, transaction and liability
valuation categories; the various
reporting time periods; the dollar
thresholds for reporting particular
assets, income, transactions and
liabilities; the requirements to report
most transactions, to identify the type of
income earned, and to report the actual
dollar amounts of particular types of
income; and the level of description and
detail required, particularly on
Schedules C (liabilities and agreements
or arrangements) and D (outside
positions and compensation over
$5,000) of the SF 278 report form.
As part of its consideration of these
important matters, OGE believes it
would be both appropriate and helpful
to give the public and agencies an
opportunity to express their views.
Interested persons may submit
comments to OGE, to be received by
February 11, 2005, regarding any
specific part of the financial disclosure
process study or just to give general
views on the study in order to assist
OGE.
