Policy Statement

    The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) believes that 
every CMRS carrier and every provider that enables a consumer to send 
text messages using numbers from the North American Numbering Plan 
should support text-to-911 capabilities.
    The Commission intends to pursue a technologically-neutral approach 
that provides platform-independent norms for all stakeholders, based on 
high-level functional standards set by the relevant stakeholders in 
industry and the public safety community. Stakeholders should develop 
implementation details on a consensual basis in a manner that enables 
fact-based monitoring of progress by the relevant industry bodies, 911 
and public safety authorities, and regulatory agencies. If the multi-
stakeholder process achieves these values in a timely manner, we 
envision that any overarching functional rule adopted by the Commission 
would not need to impose additional obligations beyond those agreed to 
in the multi-stakeholder context. Rather, we expect that it would be 
needed only to codify the multi-stakeholder standard so it applies to 
all providers equally (including future entrants into the market) in a 
manner that brings regulatory clarity so that all participants in the 
911 ecosystem can plan accordingly.
    The Commission is particularly pleased that certain carriers have 
taken a leadership role on this issue and worked with public safety 
organizations to establish a May 15, 2014, deadline by which those 
carriers would support text-to-911 service nationwide. We encourage 
CMRS and interconnected text providers that are not parties to the 
Carrier-NENA-APCO Agreement to work with the public safety community to 
develop similar commitments to support text-to-911 in a timely manner, 
so that all consumers will be assured access to text-to-911 regardless 
of what text provider they choose.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
