subject to the jurisdiction of a state may
request that the Commission determine
whether it is eligible to be designated as
an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier

must follow the procedures outlined in
the Twelfth Report and Order (FCC 00–
208) prior to submitting a request for
designation to the Commission under

of any state or local statute or
regulation, or other state or local legal
requirement (to the extent necessary)
that prohibits or has the effect of
prohibiting the ability of any entity to
provide any interstate or intrastate
telecommunications service. The
Commission’s consideration of

petition by an aggrieved party. The
petition is placed on public notice and
commented on by others. The
Commission’s decision is based on the
public record, generally composed of
the petition and comments received.

interest to inform the public of the

state or local statutes or other state or

industry and non-industry groups may
submit to the Commission for approval
nominations for individuals to be

Rules to Ensure Compatibility with

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension (after this
60 day comment period) to OMB in
order to obtain the full three year
clearance.
This collection contains various
reporting and third party disclosure
requirements. Under the Commission’s
E911 rules, a wireless carrier must
provide E911 service to a particular
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
within six months only if that PSAP
makes a request for the service and is
capable of receiving and utilizing the
information provided. In the City of
Richardson Order on Reconsideration,
the Commission adopted rules clarifying
what constitutes a valid PSAP request
so as to trigger a wireless carrier’s
obligation to provide service to a PSAP
within six months. The Order on
Reconsideration modified the E911
rules to provide additional clarification
on the issue of PSAP readiness. The
Commission’s actions were intended to
facilitate the E911 implementation
process by encouraging parties to
communicate with each other early in
the implementation process, and to
maintain a constructive, on-going
dialogue throughout the implementation
process.
The Order on Reconsideration
contained three new public information
collection burdens subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). First,
the Commission adopted procedural
guidelines for requesting documentation
predictive of a PSAP’s readiness to
receive and utilize the enhanced 911
service it has requested. Specifically, we
provide that, where a wireless carrier
requests such documentation from a
PSAP within 15 days of receiving the
PSAP’s request for E911 service, the
PSAP must respond within 15 days or
the carrier’s six-month implementation
period will be tolled until such
documentation is provided. Second, the
Commission clarified that the readiness
showing is for the purpose of
commencing the wireless carrier’s sixmonth implementation obligation; and
we established a procedure whereby
wireless carriers that have completed all
necessary steps toward E911
implementation are not dependent on
PSAP readiness may have their
compliance obligation temporarily
tolled, if the PSAP is not ready to
receive the information at the end of the
six-month period and carrier files a
certification to that effect with the
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Commission. Finally, the Commission
clarified that nothing in our rules
precludes wireless carriers and PSAPs
from mutually agreeing to an
implementation schedule different from
that prescribed by our rules.
The Commission will use the
certification filings from wireless
carriers to determine each carrier’s
compliance with its E911 obligations.
