Needs and Uses: Section
20.18(i)(2)(ii)(A) rule requires that,
within three years of the effective date
of rules, CMRS providers shall deliver
to uncompensated barometric pressure
data from any device capable of
delivering such data to PSAPs. This
requirement is necessary to ensure that
PSAPs are receiving all location
information possible to be used for
dispatch. This requirement is also
necessary to ensure that CMRS
providers implement a vertical location
solution in the event that the proposed
‘‘dispatchable location’’ solution does
not function as intended by the threeyear mark and beyond.
Section 20.18(i)(2)(ii)(B) requires that
the four nationwide providers submit to
the Commission for review and
approval a reasonable metric for z-axis
(vertical) location accuracy no later than
3 years from the effective date of rules.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
The requirement is critical to ensure
that the vertical location framework
adopted in the Fourth Report and Order
is effectively implemented.
Section 20.18(i)(2)(iii) requires CMRS
providers to certify compliance with the
Commission’s rules at various
benchmarks throughout implementation
of improved location accuracy. This
requirement is necessary to ensure that
CMRS providers remain ‘‘on track’’ to
reach the goals that they themselves
agreed to.
Section 20.18(i)(2)(iv) provides that
PSAPs may seek Commission
enforcement of the location accuracy
requirements within their geographic
service area, as long as they have
implemented policies that are designed
to obtain all location information made
available by CMRS providers when
initiating and delivering 911 calls to the
PSAP, and, prior to seeking Commission
enforcement, a PSAP must provide the
CMRS provider with 30 days written
notice, and the CMRS provider shall
have an opportunity to address the issue
informally.
Section 20.18(i)(3)(i) requires that
within 12 months of the effective date,
the four nationwide CMRS providers
must establish the test bed described in
the Fourth Report and Order, which will
validate technologies intended for
indoor location, The test bed is
necessary for the compliance
certification framework adopted in the
Fourth Report and Order.
Section 20.18(i)(3)(ii) requires that
beginning 18 months from effective date
of rules, nationwide CMRS providers
providing service in any of the six Test
Cities identified by ATIS (Atlanta,
Denver/Front Range, San Francisco,
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Manhattan
Borough of New York City) must collect
and report aggregate data on the location
technologies used for live 911 calls.
This reporting requirement is necessary
to validate and verify the compliance
certifications made by CMRS providers.
Section 20.18(i)(3)(iii) requires that
CMRS providers shall retain testing and
live call data gathered pursuant to this
section for a period of 2 years.
Section 20.18(i)(4)(i) and (ii) require
that no later than 18 months from the
effective date, each CMRS provider shall
submit to the Commission its plan for
implementing improved indoor location
accuracy and a report on its progress
toward doing so. Non-nationwide CMRS
providers will have an additional 6
months to submit their progress reports.
All CMRS providers shall provide an
additional progress report no later than
36 months from the effective date of the
adoption of this rule. The 36-month
reports shall indicate what progress the
PO 00000
Frm 00031

provider has made consistent with its
implementation plan.
Section 20.18(i)(4)(iii) requires that
prior to activation of the NEAD but no
later than 18 months from the effective
date of the adoption of this rule, the
nationwide CMRS providers shall file
with the Commission and request
approval for a security and privacy plan
for the administration and operation of
the NEAD. This requirement is
necessary to ensure that the four
nationwide CMRS providers are
building in privacy and security
measures to the NEAD from its
inception.
Section 20.18(i)(4)(iv) requires that
before use of the NEAD or any
information contained therein, CMRS
providers must certify that they will not
use the NEAD or associated data for any
non-911 purpose, except as otherwise
required by law. This requirement is
necessary to ensure the privacy and
security of any personally identifiable
information that may be collected by the
NEAD.
Section 20.18(j) requires CMRS
providers to provide standardized
confidence and uncertainty (C/U) data
for all wireless 911 calls, whether from
outdoor or indoor locations, on a percall basis upon the request of a PSAP.
This requirement will serve to make the
use of C/U data easier for PSAPs.
Section 20.18(k) requires that CMRS
providers must record information on
all live 911 calls, including, but not
limited to, the positioning source
method used to provide a location fix
associated with the call, as well as
confidence and uncertainty data. This
information must be made available to
PSAPs upon request, as a measure to
promote transparency and
accountability for this set of rules.

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
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the

Total Annual Burden: 33,330 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No assurance of confidentiality has been
given regarding the information.
Need and Uses: In order to determine
which carriers are entitled to high-cost
loop support, rate-of-return incumbent
local exchange carriers (LECs) must
provide the National Exchange Carrier
Association (NECA) with the loop cost
and loop count data required by 47 CFR
54.1305 of the Commission’s rules for
each of its study areas and, if applicable,
for each wire center (that term is
defined in 47 CFR part 54). The loop
cost and loop count information is to be
filed annually with NECA by July 31st
of each year, and may be updated
occasionally pursuant to 47 CFR
54.1306. Pursuant to section 54.1307,
the information filed on July 31st of
each year will be used to calculate
universal service support for each study
area and is filed by NECA with the
Commission by October 1 of each year.
An incumbent LEC is defined as a
carrier that meets the definition of
‘‘incumbent local exchange carrier’’ in
47 CFR 51.5 of the Commission’s rules.
The reporting requirements are
necessary to implement the
congressional mandate for universal
service. The requirements are necessary
to verify that rate-of-return LECs are
eligible to receive universal service
support. Information filed with NECA
pursuant to section 54.1305 is used to
calculate universal service support
payments to eligible carriers. Without
this information, NECA and USAC
(Universal Service Administration
Company) would not be able to
calculate such payments to eligible
carriers.

maintain a method for assessing the
national average single-family house
price for use in adjusting the
conforming loan limits of Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac (the ‘‘Enterprises’’).

considered a number of different
measures, including the House Price
Index maintained by the Office of
Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight
(OFHEO) of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development before the
effective date of the Federal Housing
Finance Regulatory Reform Act of
2008.1 FHFA also considered house
price indexes of the Bureau of the
Census of the Department of Commerce
as well as other privately-produced
indexes.2
FHFA intends to use the FHFA
‘‘expanded-data’’ house price index
(HPI)—an index it publishes on a
quarterly basis—to adjust the
conforming loan limit. This Notice
solicits public input. Once public input
is reviewed, another Notice will be
published describing FHFA’s final
determination.
DATES: FHFA will accept input on the
Notice on or before July 27, 2015. For
additional information, see
