validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(iii) How to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(iv) How to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses. In
compliance with these requirements,
NHTSA asks public comment on the
following proposed collection of
information:
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Request for Information, National
9–1–1 Program
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
OMB Clearance Number: N/A.
FORM Number: This collection of
information uses no standard forms.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: NHTSA is proposing to
issue annual RFIs seeking comments
from all sources (public, private,
governmental, academic, professional,
public interest groups, and other
interested parties) on operational
priorities for the National Program.
The National 9–1–1 Program currently
provides:
Program and policy coordination
across Federal agencies. Support to
Public Safety Answering Points and
related State and local agencies for 9–1–
1 deployment and operations. NHTSA
intends to use the National 9–1–1
Program to work cooperatively with
public and private 9–1–1 stakeholders
to establish a vision for the future of 9–
1–1 services in the Nation. The RFIs
will solicit comments on the priorities
and strategies of the National 9–1–1
Program to accomplish its functions,
goals and vision. In addition, the RFIs
will obtain expressions of interest in
participating as partners and will
request responses to specific questions,
including critical 9–1–1 issues, benefits
to stakeholders, available data and
methods of collection, etc. These RFIs
will NOT seek comment on the 9–1–1
grant program administered by the
NHTSA. The RFIs will not include
requests for proposals or invitations for
bids.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: The 9–1–1 constituency is
a diverse group of entities, including:
Government Agencies:
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:23 Apr 22, 2010
Jkt 220001
• Local, State and Federal policy,
regulation, and funding agencies.
• Local and State emergency
communications agencies.
• Local, State and Federal emergency
response agencies.
Non-Governmental Organizations:
• Professional and industry
associations.
• Standards Development
Organizations.
• Citizen and special interest
advocacy organizations.
• Private emergency response and
recovery organizations.
• Research and academic
organizations.
IT/Telecommunications Service
Providers:
• ‘‘Traditional’’ telecommunication
service providers.
• ‘‘Public Safety/emergency’’ service
providers.
• ‘‘Other’’ IT/telecommunication
application service providers.
• IP-network access infrastructure/
service providers.
IT/Telecommunications Equipment
Providers:
• Equipment and support service
suppliers to ‘‘traditional’’
telecommunication companies.
• Equipment and support service
suppliers to IT network providers.
• ‘‘Public Safety/emergency services
network’’ equipment providers.
• Personal communication device
providers.
Third Party Emergency Call Centers:
• Third party service providers such
as telematics, poison control, medical
alert, central alarm monitoring, relay
services, and N9–1–1 services.
In order to collect information needed
to develop and implement effective
strategies for the National 9–1–1
Program to provide leadership,
coordination, guidance and direction to
the enhancement of the Nation’s 9–1–1
services, NHTSA must utilize efficient
and effective means of eliciting the
input and opinions of its constituency
groups. If approved, the proposed
annual RFIs would assist the National
9–1–1 Program in addressing the myriad
of issues posed by implementing new
technologies in 9–1–1 services in a
systematic, prioritized fashion, with
active involvement of its constituency
in this process. The results of the
proposed annual RFIs would be used to:
(1) Identify areas to target programs
and activities to achieve the greatest
benefit;
(2) Develop programs and initiatives
aimed at cooperative efforts to enhance
9–1–1 services nationwide; and
(3) to provide informational support
to States, regions, and localities in their
own efforts to enhance 9–1–1 services.

Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information): Under this
proposed effort, the National 9–1–1
Program would issue annual RFIs,
seeking responses to specific questions
and soliciting comments on the
priorities and strategies used by the
National 9–1–1 Program to accomplish
its functions, goals and vision, and to
obtain expressions of interest in
participating as partners. The various
entities included in the constituency of
the National 9–1–1 Program would be
notified of the issuance of each RFI.
Likely respondents would include
companies, agencies and organizations
from all of the constituency groups
listed above, particularly local and State
emergency communications agencies,
professional and industry associations,
‘‘traditional’’ telecommunication service
providers, ‘‘public safety/emergency’’
service providers and special interest
advocacy organizations. The total
number of respondents is estimated at
30 to 40.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden
Resulting From the Collection of
Information: NHTSA estimates that
responses to the questions included in
the proposed RFIs would require an
average of one hour to complete, for a
total of 40 to 50 hours. The respondents
would not incur any reporting costs
from the information collection. The
respondents also would not incur any
recordkeeping burden or recordkeeping
costs from the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Federal
Aviation Administration is in the
process of completing an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the
Philadelphia International Airport
(PHL) Capacity Enhancement Program
(CEP). The purpose of the CEP is to
enhance airport capacity in order to
accommodate current and future
aviation demand in the Philadelphia
Metropolitan Area during all weather
conditions. The Draft EIS was published
on September 26, 2008. The DEIS
presented three alternatives; the No
Action and two on-airport construction
alternatives (Alternatives A and B), but
did not identify a Preferred Alternative.
FAA has now identified Alternative A
as its Preferred Alternative.
Alternative A would extend Runway
8–26 to the east, extend Runway 9R–27L
to the east, and add a third parallel eastwest runway. Alternative A would also
reconstruct and enlarge the terminal
complex, increasing it from 120 to
approximately 150 gates. Alternative A
will accommodate all forecasted
operations with annualized average
delays of 5.2 minutes in 2020 and 8.4
minutes in 2025. Alternative A is
estimated to cost $5.2 billion.
Alternative A is FAA Preferred
Alternative for the following reasons:
1. Alternative A meets the Purpose
and Need by adding capacity and
significantly reducing delay in all
weather conditions in the long term.
2. Alternative A allows for greater
flexibility of construction phasing or
scheduling.
3. Alternative A maintains a
crosswind runway (Runway 17–35).
4. Alternative A minimizes disruption
of local surface transportation, and does
not result in construction impacts to
Interstate 95.
5. On the average, Alternative A has
less average annualized delays during
the prolonged construction period.
6. With mitigation, significant
environmental impacts can be avoided
or minimized.
A Draft General Conformity
Determination, based on FAA’s
Preferred Alternative, is expected to be
released for public comment April 27,

2010. The Final EIS is expected to be
released late August 2010. The Final EIS
will address all comments received on
the Draft EIS and provides the rationale
behind FAA’s selection of Alternative A
as the Preferred Alternative. Further
information on the project and the EIS
process can be found at the project Web
site: https://www.phl-cep-eis.com.
