information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to

collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1202.
Title: Improving 9–1–1 Reliability;
Reliability and Continuity of
Communications Networks, Including
Broadband Technologies.
Form Number: Not Applicable
(annual on-line certification).
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 200 respondents; 200
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: Varies
by respondent. Average of 837 hours per
respondent.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 167,350 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.

The statutory authority for this
collection of information is contained in
sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), 4(o), 201(b), 214(d),
218, 251(e)(3), 301, 303(b), 303(g),

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission does not consider the
fact of filing a certification to be
confidential or the responses provided
on the face of the certification. The
Commission will treat as presumptively
confidential and exempt from routine
public disclosure under the federal
Freedom of Information Act: (1)
Descriptions and documentation of
alternative measures to mitigate the
risks of nonconformance with
certification standards; (2) information
detailing specific corrective actions
taken; and (3) supplemental information
requested by the Commission or Bureau
with respect to a certification.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: This is a revision of
an information collection necessary to
ensure that all Americans have access to
reliable and resilient 911
communications, particularly in times
of emergency, by requiring certain 911
service providers to certify
implementation of key best practices or
reasonable alternative measures. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014

information will be collected in the
form of an electronically-filed, annual
certification from each Covered 911
Service Provider, as defined in the
Commission’s 2013 Report and Order,
in which the provider will indicate
whether it has implemented certain
industry-backed best practices.
Providers that are able to respond in the
affirmative to all elements of the
certification will be deemed to satisfy
the ‘‘reasonable measures’’ requirement
in Section 12.4(b) of the Commission’s
rules. If a provider does not certify in
the affirmative with respect to one or
more elements of the certification, it
must provide a brief explanation of
what alternative measures it has taken,
in light of the provider’s particular facts
and circumstances, to ensure reliable
911 service with respect to that
element(s). Similarly, a service provider
may also respond by demonstrating that
a particular certification element is not
applicable to its networks and must
include a brief explanation of why the
element(s) does not apply.
The information will be collected by
the Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau, FCC, for review and
analysis, to verify that Covered 911
Service Providers are taking reasonable
measures to maintain reliable 911
service. In certain cases, based on the
information included in the
certifications and subsequent
coordination with the provider, the
Commission may require remedial
action to correct vulnerabilities in a
service provider’s 911 network if it
determines that (a) the service provider
has not, in fact, adhered to the best
practices incorporated in the FCC’s
rules, or (b) in the case of providers
employing alternative measures, that
those measures were not reasonably
sufficient to mitigate the associated risks
of failure in these key areas. The
Commission delegated authority to the
Bureau to review certification
information and follow up with service
providers as appropriate to address
deficiencies revealed by the certification
process.
The purpose of the collection of this
information is to verify that Covered 911
Service Providers are taking reasonable
measures such that their networks
comply with accepted best practices,
and that, in the event they are not able
to certify adherence to specific best
practices, that they are taking reasonable
alternative measures. The Commission
adopted these rules in light of
widespread 911 outages during the June
2012 derecho storm in the Midwest and
Mid-Atlantic states, which revealed that
multiple service providers did not take

adequate precautions to maintain
reliable service.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The information requested is not of a
confidential nature. 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: On April 28, 2017,
the Commission released the Business
Data Services Order, WC Docket No. 16–
143 et al., FCC 17–43, reforming the
business data services/special access
regulations for incumbent and
competitive LECs. The Commission’s
reforms included replacing the
application-based pricing flexibility
rules with a new framework under
which: (a) Packet-based services, time
division multiplexing (TDM) services
with bandwidth greater than 45 mbps,
and TDM transport services are not
subject to ex ante pricing regulation; (b)
a new standard is applied to determine
the extent to which the Commission
regulates price cap LECs’ TDM end user
channel terminations with bandwidth
less than 45 mbps and certain other low
bandwidth business data services.
Under this standard, a price cap LEC is
not subject to ex ante pricing regulation
in the provision of these services in
counties deemed competitive under the
Commission’s competitive market test
or for which the price cap LEC
previously obtained Phase II pricing
flexibility; (c) the price cap LEC is
subject to ex ante pricing regulation in
other counties where it is the incumbent
LEC, but in these counties the price cap
LEC has downward pricing flexibility
(i.e., the equivalent of Phase I pricing
flexibility under the prior rules); and (d)
the Commission will update the
competitive market test results every
three years using data already collected
in FCC Form 477.
Among other rules changes, the
Business Data Services Report and
Order repealed section 1.774, which set
forth requirements for pricing flexibility
applications, and added section 1.776,
which limits the circumstances under
which price cap LECs must file their
business data services contracts as
contract-based tariffs. The Commission
also amended section 69.701 of its rules
to specify that its pricing flexibility
rules no longer apply to business data
services.
