Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for an extension
of this information collection (no
change in the third party disclosure
requirements). The Commission will
submit this information collection after
this 60 day comment period.
In 2003, the Commission modified 47
CFR section 20.18(l) to further improve
the ability of public safety answering
points (PSAPs) to respond quickly and
efficiently to calls for emergency
assistance made from non-service
initialized wireless mobile handsets.
Non-service-initialized wireless mobile
handsets (non-initialized handsets) are
not registered for service with any
Commercial Mobile Radio Service
(CMRS) licensee. A non-initialized
handset lacks a dialable number, but is
programmed to make outgoing 911 calls.
The Commission addressed issues
arising from the inability of a PSAP
operator to call back a 911 caller who
becomes disconnected when using a
non-service-initialized wireless handset.
These requirements also apply to
manufacturers of 911-only handsets that
are manufactured after May 2, 2004.
The third party disclosure
requirements in this information
collection under 47 CFR 20.18(l) are:
Licensees that donate non-initialized
handsets for purposes of providing
access to 911 services and
manufacturers of ‘‘911-only’’ handsets
are required to program each handset
with 911, plus the decimal
representation of the seven least
significant digits of the Electronic Serial
Number (ESN), International Mobile
Equipment Identifier, or any other
identifier unique to that handset (911–
xxx–xxxx). This unique number is
conveyed to the PSAP when ‘‘911’’ is
dialed. Secondly, 911 services and
manufacturers of ‘‘911-only’’ handsets
are required to affix to each handset a
label which is designed to withstand the
length of service expected, and which
notifies the user that its handset can
only be used to dial 911, that a 911
operator will not be able to call the user
back, and that the user should convey
the exact location of the emergency as
soon as possible. Finally, licensees that
donate non-initialized handsets for
purposes of providing access to 911
services and manufacturers of ‘‘911only’’ handsets donating non-initialized
phones must institute education
programs to inform users of the
limitation of non-initialized handsets.
An education program must include a

29JYN1
45570
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 146 / Friday, July 29, 2011 / Notices
notice, giving a detailed explanation of
such limitations, including distinctions
between service initialized handsets and
non-initialized handsets. Wireless
carriers are given the flexibility to
design and execute the education
program which bests responds to the
individual needs of the carrier’s service
area.
The information will assist PSAPs by
identifying incoming emergency calls
originating from non-initialized
handsets, thereby prompting the PSAP
operators to obtain all the necessary
information to locate and assist the
caller. This is intended to reduce the
delays in response time attributed to
incidents without clear location
identification. Similarly, the public
education requirement, along with the
labeling requirement, serves to advise
consumers regarding the limitations of a
non-initialized handset. They also serve
to advise callers using non-initialized
handsets that they must be sure to
provide as much specific information to
the PSAP operator as soon as possible
regarding the location of the emergency
situation, because there is no call back
capability to a non-initialized handset.

(no change in the third party disclosure requirements). The Commission

period.
In 2003, the Commission modified 47 CFR section 20.18(l) to further
improve the ability of public safety answering points (PSAPs) to
respond quickly and efficiently to calls for emergency assistance made
from non-service initialized wireless mobile handsets. Non-service-
initialized wireless mobile handsets (non-initialized handsets) are not
registered for service with any Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS)
licensee. A non-initialized handset lacks a dialable number, but is
programmed to make outgoing 911 calls. The Commission addressed issues
arising from the inability of a PSAP operator to call back a 911 caller
who becomes disconnected when using a non-service-initialized wireless
handset. These requirements also apply to manufacturers of 911-only
handsets that are manufactured after May 2, 2004.
The third party disclosure requirements in this information
collection under 47 CFR 20.18(l) are: Licensees that donate non-
initialized handsets for purposes of providing access to 911 services
and manufacturers of ``911-only'' handsets are required to program each
handset with 911, plus the decimal representation of the seven least
significant digits of the Electronic Serial Number (ESN), International
Mobile Equipment Identifier, or any other identifier unique to that
handset (911-xxx-xxxx). This unique number is conveyed to the PSAP when
``911'' is dialed. Secondly, 911 services and manufacturers of ``911-
only'' handsets are required to affix to each handset a label which is
designed to withstand the length of service expected, and which
notifies the user that its handset can only be used to dial 911, that a
911 operator will not be able to call the user back, and that the user
should convey the exact location of the emergency as soon as possible.
Finally, licensees that donate non-initialized handsets for purposes of
providing access to 911 services and manufacturers of ``911-only''
handsets donating non-initialized phones must institute education
programs to inform users of the limitation of non-initialized handsets.
An education program must include a

notice, giving a detailed explanation of such limitations, including
distinctions between service initialized handsets and non-initialized

The information will assist PSAPs by identifying incoming emergency
calls originating from non-initialized handsets, thereby prompting the
PSAP operators to obtain all the necessary information to locate and
assist the caller. This is intended to reduce the delays in response
time attributed to incidents without clear location identification.
Similarly, the public education requirement, along with the labeling
requirement, serves to advise consumers regarding the limitations of a

initialized handsets that they must be sure to provide as much specific
information to the PSAP operator as soon as possible regarding the
location of the emergency situation, because there is no call back
capability to a non-initialized handset.
