SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–1085. Title: Section 9.5, Interconnected Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) E911 Compliance. Form No.: Not applicable. Type of Review: Revision 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: 12 respondents; 12,538,154 responses. Estimated Time per Response: .048042478 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirements. Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 152(a), 153(33), 153(52), and 251(e)(3). Total Annual Burden: 602,364 hours. Total Annual Cost: $47,364,685. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that respondents submit confidential information to the Commission. Needs and Uses: The Commission requesting a revision of this information collection in order to obtain the full three year clearance from the OMB. The Commission is republishing this notice in it’s entirety because the previous 30 day notice dated February 17, 2009 (74 FR 7433) contained several errors that have since been corrected. Since the last submission to the OMB in 2005, the Commission is reporting a –1,600 hour program change decrease due to elimination of the Compliance Letter which was a one-time reporting requirement that required VoIP providers to file a letter detailing their compliance plan with the Commission by November 28, 2005. That requirement has sunset and is now being removed along with its estimated burdens from this information E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM 10APN1 16392 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 68 / Friday, April 10, 2009 / Notices collection. Finally, the Commission is also reporting an adjustment increase in the total annual burden hours and annual costs due to a recalculation of the estimates. The Commission is obligated by statute to promote ‘‘safety of life and property’’ and to ‘‘encourage and facilitate the prompt deployment throughout the United States of a seamless, ubiquitous, and reliable endto-end infrastructure’’ for public safety. Congress has established 911 as the national emergency number to enable all citizens to reach emergency services directly and efficiently, irrespective of whether a citizen uses wireline or wireless technology when calling for help by dialing 911. Efforts by Federal, State and local government, along with the significant efforts of wireline and wireless service providers, have resulted in the nearly ubiquitous deployment of this life-saving service. The Order the Commission adopted on May 19, 2005, sets forth rules requiring providers of VoIP services that interconnect with the nation’s existing public switched telephone network (interconnected VoIP services) to supply E911 capabilities to their customers. To ensure E911 functionality for customers of VoIP service providers the Commission requires the following information collections: A. Location Registration. Requires providers to interconnected VoIP services to obtain location information from their customers for use in the routing of 911 calls and the provision of location information to emergency answering points. B. Provision of Automatic Location Information (ALI). 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. Requires that all providers of interconnected VoIP are aware of their interconnected VoIP service’s actual E911 capabilities. 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. 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 or near the customer premises equipment used in conjunction with the interconnected VoIP service.
