However, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of
this information collection in order to
obtain the full three year approval
pursuant to FCC 14–117. The
Commission initiated this proceeding to
update and modernize the
Commission’s rules. The revised
information collection requirements are
as follows:
Section 17.4 includes third party
disclosure requirements. Specifically,
Section 17.4 requires the owner of any
proposed or existing antenna structure
that requires notice of proposed
construction to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to register the
structure with the Commission. This
includes those structures used as part of
the stations licensed by the Commission
for the transmission of radio energy, or
to be used as part of a cable television
head-end system. If a Federal
Government antenna structure is to be
used by a Commission licensee, the
structure must be registered with the
Commission. Section 17.4(f) currently
requires antenna structure owners to
provide their tenants with copies of the
antenna structure registration. This rule
is being revised to provide that antenna
structure owners may either provide a
copy or a link to the FCC antenna
structure Web site. The revised rules
provide that this notification may be
done electronically or via paper mail.
Section 17.4(g) currently requires
antenna structure owners to display the
Antenna Structure Registration Number
a conspicuous place that is readily
visible near the base of the antenna.
This rule is being revised to require that
the Antenna Structure Number be
displayed so that it is conspicuously
visible and legible from the publicly
accessible area nearest the base of the
antenna structure along the publicly
accessible roadway or path. Where an
antenna structure is surrounded by a
perimeter fence, or where the point of
access includes an access gate, the
Antenna Structure Registration Number
should be posted on the perimeter fence
or access gate. Where multiple antenna
structures having separate Antenna
Structure Registration Numbers are
located within a single fenced area, the
Antenna Structure Registration
Numbers must be posted both on the
perimeter fence or access gate and near
the base of each antenna structure. If the
base of the antenna structure has more
than one point of access, the revised
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
rule will require that the Antenna
Structure Registration Number be
posted so that it is visible at the publicly
accessible area nearest each such point
of access. The registration number is
issued to identify antenna structure
owners in order to enforce the
Congressionally-mandated provisions
related to the owners.
Sections 17.48 and 17.49 contain
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. Section 17.48(a) currently
requires that antenna structure owners
promptly report outages of top steady
burning lights or flashing antenna
structure lights to the FAA. Upon
receipt of the outage notification, the
FAA will issue a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM), which notifies aircraft of the
outage. However, the FAA cancels all
such notices within 15 days. Currently,
the Commission’s rules do not require
antenna structure owners to provide any
notification to the FAA regarding the
status of repairs other than the initial
outage report and the resumption of
normal operation. Thus, if the repairs to
an antenna structure’s lights require
more than 15 days, the FAA may not
have any record of the outage from that
15th day to the resumption of normal
operation. This rule is being revised to
require antenna structure owners to
provide the FAA with regular updates
on the status of their repairs of lighting
outages so that the FAA can maintain
notifications to aircraft throughout the
entire period of time the antenna
structure remains unlit. Consistent with
the current FAA requirements, if a
lighting outage cannot be repaired
within the FAA’s original NOTAM
period, the revised rule will require the
antenna structure owner to notify the
FAA of that fact. In addition, the revised
rule provides that the antenna structure
owner must provide any needed
updates to its estimated return-toservice date to the FAA. The revised
rule will also require antenna structure
owners to continue to provide these
updates to the FAA every NOTAM
period until its lights are repaired.
Section 17.49 currently requires
antenna structure owners to maintain a
record of observed or otherwise known
extinguishments or improper
functioning of structure lights, but does
not specify the time period for which
such records must be maintained. This
rules is being revised to require antenna
structure owners to maintain a record of
observed or otherwise known
extinguishments or improper
functioning of structure lights for two
years and provide the records to the
Commission upon request.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with

Needs and Uses: The Commission is
obligated by statute to promote ‘‘safety
of life and property’’ and to ‘‘encourage
and facilitate the prompt deployment
throughout the United States of a
seamless, ubiquitous, and reliable endto-end infrastructure’’ for public safety.
Congress has established 911 as the
national emergency number to enable
all citizens to reach emergency services
directly and efficiently, irrespective of
whether a citizen uses wireline or
wireless technology when calling for
help by dialing 911. Efforts by federal,
state and local government, along with
the significant efforts of wireline and
wireless service providers, have resulted
in the nearly ubiquitous deployment of
this life-saving service.
The Order the Commission adopted
on May 19, 2005, sets forth rules
requiring providers of VoIP services that
interconnect with the nation’s existing
public switched telephone network
(interconnected VoIP services) to supply
E911 capabilities to their customers. To
ensure E911 functionality for customers
of VoIP service providers the
Commission requires the following
information collections:
A. Location Registration. Requires
providers to interconnected VoIP
services to obtain location information
from their customers for use in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
11673
routing of 911 calls and the provision of
location information to emergency
answering points.
B. Provision of Automatic Location
Information (ALI). Interconnected VoIP
service providers will place the location
information for their customers into, or
make that information available
through, specialized databases
maintained by local exchange carriers
(and, in at least one case, a state
government) across the country.
C. Customer Notification. Requires
that all providers of interconnected
VoIP are aware of their interconnected
VoIP service’s actual E911 capabilities.
That all providers of interconnected
VoIP service specifically advise every
subscriber, both new and existing,
prominently and in plain language, the
circumstances under which E911
service may not be available through the
interconnected VoIP service or may be
in some way limited by comparison to
traditional E911 service.
D. Record of Customer Notification.
Requires VoIP providers to obtain and
keep a record of affirmative
acknowledgement by every subscriber,
both new and existing, of having
received and understood this advisory.
E. User Notification. In addition, in
order to ensure to the extent possible
that the advisory is available to all
potential users of an interconnected
VoIP service, interconnected VoIP
service providers must distribute to all
subscribers, both new and existing,
warning stickers or other appropriate
labels warning subscribers if E911
service may be limited or not available
and instructing the subscriber to place
them on or near the customer premises
equipment used in conjunction with the
interconnected VoIP service.
