Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 29, 2005 / Notices
and one-time reporting requirements;
third party disclosure.
Total Annual Burden: 435,894 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $43,162,335.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: On June 3, 2005, the
Commission released a First Report and
Order in WC Docket. No. 04–36 and a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in WC
Docket No. 05–196, FCC 05–116 (Order)
in which the Commission established
rules requiring providers of
interconnected VoIP—meaning VoIP
service that allows a user generally to
receive calls originating from and to
terminate calls to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN)—to provide
enhanced 911 (E911) capabilities to
their customers as a standard feature of
service. See IP-Enabled Services, WC
Docket No. 04–36, E911 Requirements
for IP-Enabled Service Providers, WC
Docket No. 05–196, FCC 05–116 (rel.
June 3, 2005). The Order requires
collection of information in six
instances:
A. Location Registration. The Order
requires providers of interconnected
VoIP services to obtain location
information from their customers for use
in the routing of 911 calls and the
provision of location information to
emergency answering points.
B. Provision of Automatic Location
Information (ALI). In order to meet the
obligations set forth in the Order,
interconnected VoIP service providers
will place the location information for
their customers into, or make that
information available through,
specialized databases maintained by
local exchange carriers (and, in at least
one case, a state government) across the
country.
C. Customer Notification. In order to
ensure that consumers of interconnected
VoIP services are aware of their
interconnected VoIP service’s actual
E911 capabilities, the Order requires
that all providers of interconnected
VoIP service specifically advise every
subscriber, both new and existing,
prominently and in plain language, the
circumstances under which E911
service may not be available through the
interconnected VoIP service or may be
in some way limited by comparison to
traditional E911 service.
D. Record of Customer Notification.
The Order requires VoIP providers to
obtain and keep a record of affirmative
acknowledgement by every subscriber,
both new and existing, of having
received and understood this advisory.
E. User Notification. In addition, in
order to ensure to the extent possible
that the advisory is available to all
potential users of an interconnected

VoIP service, interconnected VoIP
service providers must distribute to all
subscribers, both new and existing,
warning stickers or other appropriate
labels warning subscribers if E911
service may be limited or not available
and instructing the subscriber to place
them on and/or near the customer
premises equipment used in
conjunction with the interconnected
VoIP service.
F. Compliance Letter. The Order
requires all interconnected VoIP
providers to submit a letter to the
Commission detailing their compliance
with the rules set forth in the Order no
later than 120 days after the effective
date of the Order. This letter will enable
the Commission to ensure that
interconnected VoIP providers have
achieved E911 compliance by the
established deadline.

development of local competition and
deployment of broadband service also
known as advanced telecommunications
services. The data are necessary to
evaluate the status of developing
competition in local exchange
telecommunications markets and to
evaluate the status of broadband
deployment. The information is used by
Commission staff to advise the
Commission about the efficacy of
Commission rules and policies adopted
to implement the Telecommunications
Act of 1996.
OMB Control No.: 3060–1046.
OMB Approval date: 5/25/2005.
Expiration Date: 05/31/2008.
Title: Implementation of the Pay
Telephone Reclassification and
Compensation Provisions of the
Telecommunication Act of 1996, CC
Docket No. 96–128, Order on
Reconsideration.
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 4,854
responses; 485,400 total annual burden
hours; 100 hours average response time
per respondent.
Needs and Uses: On October 3, 2003,
the Commission issued a Report and
Order that required ‘‘Completing
Carriers’’ to compensate payphone
service providers (PSPs) for each and
every completed call using a coinless
access number (CC Docket 96–128/FCC
03–235). This Order on Reconsideration,
released on October 22, 2004, does not
change this compensation framework,
but rather refines and builds upon its
approach. It provides guidance on the
types of contracts that the Commission
would deem to be reasonable methods
of compensating PSPs, extends the time
period that carriers must retain certain
payphone records, and clarifies the
rules’ reporting, certification, and audit
requirements.
