Comments are requested concerning (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance

Form No.: Not applicable.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 73
respondents; 93 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 70.32
hours (average).
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Total Annual Burden: 6,540 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This
information collection does not affect
individuals or households, and
therefore a privacy impact assessment is
not required.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
All reports and plans required by
Section 12.2 of the Commission’s rules
will be automatically afforded
confidentiality because the information
in these reports and plans is sensitive
for both national security and/or
commercial reasons.
Needs and Uses: The Commission, in
order to help fulfill its statutory
obligation to make wire and radio
communications services available to all
people in the United States for the
purpose of the national defense and
promoting safety of life and property,
adopted an Order (FCC 07–107) that
includes an emergency backup power
rule (section 12.2). This rule, as
modified in an Order on
Reconsideration (FCC 07–177) obligates
certain specified local exchange carriers
(LECs) and commercial mobile radio
service (CMRS) providers to file a report
that enumerates whether the carriers
meet the emergency backup power
requirement for certain assets specified
by the rule.
Specifically, Section 12.2(c) requires
LECs and CMRS providers to file reports
with the Commission that identify the
following information: (1) Each asset
that was designed to comply with the
applicable backup power requirement;
(2) each asset where compliance is
precluded due to risk to safety or life or
health; (3) each asset where compliance
is precluded by private legal obligation
or agreement; (4) each asset where
compliance is precluded by Federal,

state, tribal or local law; and (5) each
asset that was designed with less than
the required emergency backup power
capacity and that is not precluded from
compliance by risk to safety of life or
health, private legal obligation or
agreement, or Federal, state, tribal or
local law. LECs and CMRS providers
must file these reports within six
months of the effective date of this
requirement, which is the date of
Federal Register notice announcing
OMB approval of the information
collection contained in section 12.2 of
the Commission’s rules. LECs and
CMRS providers must include a
description of facts supporting the basis
of the LECs or CMRS provider’s claim
of preclusion from compliance based on
risk to safety of life or health, private
legal obligation or agreement, or
Federal, state, tribal or local law.
Additionally, LECs and CMRS
providers identifying assets designed
with less than the emergency backup
power capacity required in section
12.2(a) and not otherwise precluded
from compliance for one of the three
reasons identified in section 12.2(b)
must comply with the backup power
requirement or file, within 12 months
from the effective date of section 12.2,
a certified emergency backup power
compliance plan that is subject to
Commission review. The emergency
backup power compliance plan must
certify and describe how, in the event of
a commercial power failure, the LEC or
CMRS provider will provide emergency
backup power to 100 percent of the area
covered by any non-compliant asset,
relying on on-site and/or portable
backup power sources or other sources
as appropriate. This emergency backup
power must be sufficient for service
coverage as follows: A minimum of 24
hours for assets inside central offices
and eight hours for other assets such as
cell sites, remote switches, and digital
loop carrier system remote terminals.
