B. How and to whom do I submit
comments?
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an email
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web
site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.

Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for the following public
information collection(s) pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520). An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number,
and no person is required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane
C. Kelly, Jane.Kelly@fcc.gov, or by
phone on (202) 418–2832.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1003.
OMB Approval Date: June 8, 2012.
Expiration Date: June 30, 2015.
Title: Communications Disaster
Information Reporting System (DIRS).
Form No.: Not applicable.
Number of Respondents/Responses:
6,750 respondents; 6,750 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.1–
0.50 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 4,725.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Obligation To Respond: Voluntary.
The statutory authority for this
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C.
154(i), 218, 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission acknowledges and
agrees that is consistent with the
primary objective of the DIRS to treat
filings as confidential. We will work
with respondents to ensure that their
concerns regarding the confidentiality of
DIRS filings are resolved in a manner
consistent with Commission rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
submitted this information collection to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) as a revision and received a three
year approval from OMB for the
collection.
In response to the events of
September 11, 2001, the Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission or FCC) created an
Emergency Contact Information System
to assist the Commission in ensuring
rapid restoration of communications
capabilities after disruption by a
terrorist threat or attack, and to ensure
that public safety, public health, and
other emergency and defense personnel
have effective communications services
available to them in the immediate
aftermath of any terrorist attack within

the United States. The Commission
submitted, and OMB approved, a
collection through which key
communications providers could
voluntarily provide contact information.
The Commission’s Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB)
updated the Emergency Contact
Information system with a Disaster
Information Reporting System (DIRS)
that uses electronic forms to collect
Emergency Contact Information forms
and through which participants may
inform the Commission of damage to
communications infrastructure and
facilities and may request resources for
restoration. The Commission updated
the process by increasing the number of
reporting entities to ensure inclusion of
wireless, wireline, broadcast, cable and
satellite communications providers.
In recent years, communications have
evolved from a circuit-switched network
infrastructure to broadband networks.
The Commission is seeking to extend
the Disaster Information Reporting
System to include interconnected Voice
over Internet Protocol and broadband
Internet Service Providers. Increasing
numbers of consumers, businesses, and
government agencies rely on broadband
and interconnected VoIP services for
everyday and emergency
communications needs, including vital
9–1–1 services. It is therefore imperative
that the Disaster Information Reporting
System be expanded to include these
new technologies in order for the
Commission the gain an accurate
picture of communications landscape
during disasters. Therefore, the
Commission has revised its DIRS screen
shots and is including a copy of the
DIRS user manual for which the
Commission has received OMB
approval on June 8, 2012.
