competitive, deregulatory national
policies embodied in the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. The
pricing flexibility framework adopted in
that Order was designed to grant greater
flexibility to price cap LECs as
competition develops, while ensuring
that: (1) Price cap LECs do not use
pricing flexibility to deter efficient entry
or engage in exclusionary pricing
behavior; and (2) price cap LECs do not
increase rates to unreasonable levels for
customers that lack competitive
alternatives.

Information, Provision of Notice and
Reporting on Interconnected Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) E911
Compliance.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 100
respondents; 14,238,254 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .09–16
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and one-time reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirement and third

Total Annual Burden: 435,894 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $43,162,335.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
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
requirements:
A. Location Registration. The Order
requires providers of interconnected
VoIP services to obtain location
information from their customers for use
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
The Commission sought ‘‘emergency’’
OMB approval for this information
collection on June 14, 2005. OMB
approval was obtained on June 28, 2005.
The Commission now is requesting an
extension for this information (no
changes) in order to obtain the full three
year clearance from OMB.
