Title: Federal Communications Commisssion Proposes Collection of Location Information, Provision of Notice and Reporting on Interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) E911 Compliance. Form No.: N/A. Estimated Annual Burden: 14,238,254 responses; 435,894 total annual burden hours; approximately .09–16 hours average per respondent. Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) requires providers of interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services to obtain information regarding their end users’ location as a condition of providing service. Interconnected VoIP providers must provide that information to entities that maintain databases used to ensure that the caller’s location and a call back number are provided to requesting public safety answering points when a 911 call is placed. The Commission also requires interconnected VoIP providers to ensure that end users understand any limitations of their service, obtain from the end user evidence of such understanding, and submit a letter to the Commission detailing their compliance with its E911 rules no later than 120 days after the rules become effective.

Needs and Uses: Pursuant to Section 276(b)(1)(A) of the Act, the Commission is required to ensure that all payphone service providers are fairly compensated. In order to calculate fair compensation for the payphones that are not supported by Flex ANI, the Commission must obtain monthly payphone call volume data. Once the impacted entities (primarily the Regional Bell Operating Companies and the large interexchange companies) submit this data, the Commission will calculate an average monthly call volume as one of the key inputs required to establish per-payphone monthly compensation.

Needs and Uses: In the Third Report and Order and Second Order on Reconsideration in CC Docket No. 99– 200, the Commission continued efforts to maximize the efficiency with which numbering resources in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) are utilized. In order for price cap LECs to qualify for exogenous adjustment to access charges established under the federal cost recovery mechanism, they must demonstrate that pooling results in a net cost increase rather than a cost reduction. Applications to state commission from carriers must demonstrate that certain requirements are met before states may grant use of the safety valve mechanism. State commission seeking to implement service-specific and/or technologyspecific area code overlays, must request delegated authority to do so. OMB Control No.: 3060–1012.

Needs and Uses: In CC Docket 02–6, the Commission sought comment on certain rules governing the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism. The Commission goals in the proceeding are to: (1) Consider changes that would fine-tune its rules to improve program operation; (2) to ensure that the benefits of the universal service support mechanism for schools and libraries are distributed in a manner that is fair and equitable: and (3) to improve its oversight over the program. Among other things, affected respondents may be required to certify to compliance with the ADA and related statutes and to use a computerized list to identify services or products.
