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 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:06 Jul 31, 2015 Jkt 235001 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 Communications Commission. Sheryl D.

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to a final regulation, 
which was published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 
(79 FR 31877). The regulation relates to the contents of applications 
for international common carriers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule published on Tuesday, June 
3, 2014 (79 FR 31877), the revision description of Sec.  63.18(k) 
incorrectly states that ``Section 63.18 is amended by revising 
paragraph (k) introductory text,'' instead of correctly stating that 
``Section 63.18 is amended by revising paragraph (k),'' leading the 
published final regulation Sec.  63.18(k) to incorrectly keep 
subparagraphs (1)-(3), which should be removed. This correcting 
amendment document removes subparagraphs (1)-(3) of Sec.  63.18(k).
