Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort

3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or the Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize

Jkt 235001
OMB Control No.: 3060–1147.
Title: Wireless E911 Location
Accuracy Requirements.
Form Nos.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, state,
local or tribal government and
individuals or household.
Number of Respondents: 4,294
Respondents; 4,510 Responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour
to 8 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Statutory authority for this collection is
contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 151,
154, and 332 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 31,668 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Not
applicable.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No confidentiality is required for this
collection.
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 reporting requirement).
The Commission has adjusted its
previous burden estimates. The total
annual burden has been reduced by
21,464 hours since 2012 because of
fewer respondents and responses.
The Commission’s Third Report and
Order in PS Docket No. 07–114 adopted
a rule, providing that new CMRS
network providers, meeting the
definition of covered CMRS providers in
Section 20.18 and deploying new standalone networks subsequent to the
effective date of the Third Report and
Order that are not an expansion or
upgrade of an existing CMRS network,
must meet from the start the handsetbased location accuracy standard in
delivering emergency calls for Enhanced
911 service. The adopted rule requires
that the new stand-alone CMRS
providers in delivering emergency calls
for Enhanced 911 service, must satisfy
the handset-based location accuracy
standard at either a county-based or
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)based geographic level. Additionally, in
accordance with the pre-existing
requirements for CMRS providers using
handset-based location technologies,
new stand-alone CMRS providers are
permitted to exclude up to 15 percent of
the counties or PSAP areas they serve
due to heavy forestation that limits
handset-based technology accuracy in
those counties or areas but are required
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

to file an initial list of the specific
counties or portions of counties where
they are utilizing their respective
exclusions.
A. Updated Exclusion Reports. Under
the information collection, and pursuant
to current rule section 20.18(h), new
stand- alone CMRS providers and
existing CMRS providers that have filed
initial exclusion reports are required to
file reports informing the Commission
of any changes to their exclusion lists
within thirty days of discovering such
changes. The permitted exclusions
properly but narrowly account for the
known technical limitations of either
the handset-based or network-based
location accuracy technologies chosen
by a CMRS provider, while ensuring
that the public safety community and
the public at large are sufficiently
informed of these limitations.
B. Confidence and Uncertainty Data.
Under the information collection, and
pursuant to current rule section
20.18(h), all CMRS providers and other
entities responsible other responsible
for transporting confidence and
uncertainty data between the wireless
carriers and PSAPs, including LECs,
CLECs, owners of E911 networks, and
emergency service providers
(collectively, System Service Providers
(SSPs)) must continue to provide
confidence and uncertainty data of
wireless 911 calls to Public Safety
Answering Points (PSAP) on a per call
basis upon a PSAP’s request. New
stand-alone wireless carriers also incur
this obligation. The transport of the
confidence and uncertainty data is
needed to ensure the delivery of
accurate location information with E911
service.

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary
response for business or other for-profit
and not-for-respondents. Mandatory
response for state, local or tribal
government. Statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in
47 U.S.C sections 154(i) and 606 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 82,008 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeking and extension of this
information collection in order to obtain
the full three year approval from OMB.
There are no changes in any of the
reporting and/or recordkeeping
requirements. There is no change to the
Commission’s previous burden
estimated.
The Commission established a
voluntary electronic method of
complying with the reporting that EAS
participants must complete as part of
the national EAS test. This electronic
submission system will impose a lesser
burden on EAS test participants because
they can input electronically (via a webbased interface) the same information
into a confidential database that the
Commission would use to monitor and
assess the test. Test participants would
submit the identifying data prior to the
test date. On the day of the test, EAS
participants would be able to input
immediate test results. They would
input the remaining data called for by
our reporting rules within the 45 day
period. Structuring an electronic
reporting system in this fashion will
allow the participants to populate the
database with known information prior
to the test, and thus be able to provide
the Commission with actual test data,
both close to real-time and within a
reasonable period in a minimally
burdensome fashion.
