Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested, 27549-27550 [E9-13646]

Download as PDF erowe on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 10, 2009 / Notices of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Total Annual Burden: 1,202 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. However, if applicants want to seek confidential treatment of their documents, they may do so under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the reporting requirements) of this information collection. There is a minor adjustment to the estimated number of respondents and responses. There is no change in the estimated hourly burden. The Commission’s E911 Phase II rules require wireless licensees to provide Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) with Automatic Location Identification (ALI) information for 911 calls. Licensees can provide ALI information by deploying location information technology in their networks (a network-based solution), or Global Positioning System (GPS), or other location technology in subscriber’s handsets (a handset-based solution). The Commission’s rules also establish phased-in schedules for carriers to deploy any necessary network components and begin providing Phase II service. However, before a wireless licensee’s obligation to provide E911 service is triggered, a PSAP must make a valid request for E911 service, i.e., the PSAP must be capable of receiving and utilizing the data elements associated with the service and must have a mechanism in place for recovering its costs. In addition to deploying the network facilities necessary to deliver location information, wireless licensees that elect to employ a handset-based solution must meet the handset deployment benchmark set forth in 47 CFR 20.18(g)(1) of the Commission’s rules, independent of any PSAP request for Phase II service. After ensuring that 100 percent of all new digital handsets activated are location-capable, licensees must have achieved 95 percent penetration among their subscribers of location-capable handsets no later than December 31, 2005. The Commission has recognized that ‘‘special circumstances’’ may warrant a waiver of the E911 Phase II requirements. The Commission also noted that small carriers may face ‘‘extraordinary circumstances’’ in VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:18 Jun 09, 2009 Jkt 217001 meeting one or more of the deadlines for Phase II deployment. Pursuant to 47 CFR 1.925(b)(3), the Commission may grant a request for waiver if the underlying purpose of the rule(s) would not be served or would be frustrated by application to the instant case, and that grant would be in the public interest; or, in view of unique or unusual factual circumstances, application of the rule(s) would be inequitable, unduly burdensome, or contrary to the public interest, or the applicant has no reasonable alternative. Finally, distinct from the Commission’s rules and precedent regarding waivers of the E911 requirements, in December 2004, Congress enacted the Ensuring Needed Help Arrives Near Callers Employing 911 Act of 2004, Public Law 108–494 (ENHANCE 911 Act). The ENHANCE 911 Act, inter alia, directs the Commission to act on any petition filed by a qualified Tier III carrier requesting a waiver of 47 CFR 20.18(g)(1)(v) within 100 days of receipt, and grant such request for waiver if ‘‘strict enforcement of the requirements of that section would result in consumers having decreased access to emergency services.’’ The Commission originally established reporting requirements in an order released in October 2001, which received OMB approval. Nationwide wireless carriers (Tier I) generally must have quarterly reports with the Commission on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, with the exception of T–Mobile, which is required to file semi-annual reports (as of October 2002). Mid-sized carriers (Tier II) also were required to file quarterly reports under this same time schedule. The previously approved information collection under this OMB control number was revised (in 2006) to include the information requirements that the quarterly reports, beginning with the August 1, 2003 filing, be submitted in an Excel spreadsheet as an appendix to Tier I and Tier II carrier narrative reports. The existing information collection only required Tier III carriers to file a one-time interim report. Tier III wireless carriers were also not required to submit an Excel spreadsheet with their one-time filings. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.
