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 E:\FR\FM\29JYN1.SGM 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.

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.

(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-

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

and manufacturers of ``911-only'' handsets are required to program each 
handset with 911, plus the decimal representation of the seven least

should convey the exact location of the emergency as soon as possible. 
Finally, licensees that donate non-initialized handsets for purposes of
