include questions to obtain only the
legal and technical information that is
essential to grant authority to U.S.
broadcasters to supply program material
to a foreign radio or TV broadcast
station whose signals are consistently
received in the U.S. or to extend the
current authority. After the applicant
completes the form, it is mailed to the
U.S. Bank along with the application
fee. Then, it is forwarded to the
International Bureau with the exception
of fee exempt applications which are
filed directly with the FCC Secretary’s
Office and then forwarded to the
Bureau.
FCC Form 308 applicants now have
the option to file their applicants in the
Electronic Comment Filing System
(ECFS) and make their payment of their
application filing fees electronically in
the FCC Fee Filer System. Please note
that this method is optional rather than
mandatory. We believe that the
availability of this option will
substantially decrease or eliminate
paper filings of FCC Form 308’s with the
Commission. This option will save time
for the applicant and Commission staff.
There are no other changes to the
information collection, including
burden estimates.
Without this collection of
information, the Commission would not
be able to ascertain whether the main
studio owner in the U.S. meets various
legal requirements or the foreign
broadcast facility, which receives and
retransmits programming from the main
studio in the U.S., meets various
technical requirements that prevent
harmful interference to other broadcast
stations or telecommunications
facilities.

152, 154(i), 154(j), 154(o), 251(e), 303(b),
303(g), 303(r), 316, and 403.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This
information collection does not affect
individuals or households, and
therefore a privacy impact assessment is
not required.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission will work with
respondents to ensure that their
concerns regarding the confidentiality of
any proprietary or business-sensitive
information are resolved in a manner
consistent with the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On August 13, 2014,
the Commission released the Order, FCC
14–118, published at 79 FR 55367,
September 16, 2014, adopting final
rules—containing information
collection requirements—to enable the
Commission to implement text-to-911
service, providing enhanced access to
emergency services for people with
disabilities and fulfilling a crucial role
as an alternative means of emergency
communication for the general public in
situations where sending a text message
to 911 as opposed to placing a voice call
could be vital to the caller’s safety. The
Second Report and Order adopts new
rules to commence the implementation
of text-to-911 service with an initial
deadline of December 31, 2014 for all
covered text providers to be capable of
supporting text-to-911 service. The
Second Report and Order also provides
that covered text providers then have a
six-month implementation period—they
must begin routing all 911 text messages
to a Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) by June 30, 2015 or within six
months of a valid PSAP request for textto-911 service, whichever is later. To
implement these requirements, the
Commission seeks to collect information
primarily for a database in which PSAPs
will voluntarily register that they are
technically ready to receive text
messages to 911. As PSAPs become textready, they may either register in the
PSAP database (or, if the database is not
yet available, submit a notification to PS
Docket Nos. 10–255 and 11–153), or
provide other written notification
reasonably acceptable to a covered text
messaging provider. Either measure
taken by the PSAP shall constitute
sufficient notification pursuant to the
adopted rules in the Second Report and
Order. PSAPs and covered text
providers may mutually agree to an
alternative implementation timeframe
(other than six months). Covered text
providers must notify the FCC of the
dates and terms of the alternate
timeframe that they have mutually
agreed on with PSAPs within 30 days of
the parties’ agreement.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 95 / Monday, May 18, 2015 / Notices
Additionally, the rules adopted by the
Second Report and Order include other
information collections for third party
notifications that need to be effective in
order to implement text-to-911,
including necessary notifications to
consumers, covered text providers, and
the Commission. These notifications are
essential to ensure that all of the
affected parties are aware of the
limitations, capabilities, and status of
text-to-911 services. These information
collections will enable the Commission
to meet the objectives for the
implementation of text-to-911 service as
of December 31, 2014 and for
compliance by covered text providers
with the six-month implementation
period in furtherance of the
Commission’s core mission to ensure
the public’s safety.
