Commission to fulfill its obligation
under the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007 (Act), Public
Law 110–53. The purpose of the Act is
to ‘‘provide for the implementation of
the recommendations of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon
the United States.’’ Towards this end,
the Act mandates that the Commission
‘‘shall conduct a vulnerability
assessment of the Nation’s critical
communications and information
systems infrastructure and shall
evaluate the technical feasibility of
creating a back-up emergency
communications system that
complements existing communications
resources and takes into account next
generation and advanced
communications technologies.’’ The
Commission must submit a report to
Congress that details the findings of this
evaluation not later than 180 days after
the date of enactment of the Act (since
the Act was enacted on August 3, 2007,
the report will be due to Congress on
January 30, 2008).
To complete this report, the
Commission seeks to collect information
primarily through face-to-face meetings,
phone calls (including conference calls),
and e-mail correspondence with
commercial service and network
operators (i.e., private satellite, wireline,
and wireless operators, circuit and
packet network operators), users (or
owners) of emergency communication
systems and networks, (e.g., emergency
responders including first responders,
9–1–1 system and dispatch operators,
federal, state and local emergency
agencies), and their associations,
manufacturers of public safety
equipment and emergency
communications networks and systems,
operators of networks for emergency
responders, and standards organizations
and industry groups working on public
safety equipment and emergency
communications networks and systems
and standards. Information will be
sought concerning emergency
communications networks, including
user devices, network equipment,
operations processes and operations
systems, and concerning the feasibility
of commercial service providers to
support the needs of public safety,
including: (1) Technical capabilities and
characteristics of equipment (e.g.,
analog/digital, power, range, access
protocol, broadband/wideband/
narrowband, etc.), (2) technical
capabilities and characteristics of
commercial services to support the
needs of public safety, (3) cost and
deployment of commercial services for
