adopted final rules—containing

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 adopted rules to
commence the implementation of textto-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 provided that covered
text providers would then have a sixmonth 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
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 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 constitutes sufficient
notification pursuant to the rules in the
Second Report and Order. PSAPs and
covered text providers may also agree to
an alternative implementation
timeframe (other than six months).
Covered text providers must notify the
FCC of the dates and terms of any such
alternate timeframe within 30 days of
the parties’ agreement. Additionally, the
rules adopted by the Second Report and
Order include other information
collections for third party notifications
necessary for the implementation of
text-to-911, including notifications to
consumers, covered text providers, and
the Commission. These notifications are
essential to ensure that all affected
parties are aware of the limitations,
capabilities, and status of text-to-911
services. These information collections
enable the Commission to meet the
objectives for implementation of text-to911 service and for compliance by
covered text providers with the sixmonth implementation period in
furtherance of the Commission’s core
mission to ensure the public’s safety.

COMMISSION
Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or Commission or
Agency) has modified an existing
system of records, FCC/OGC–5, Pending
Civil Cases, subject to the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended. This action is
necessary to meet the requirements of
the Privacy Act to publish in the
Federal Register notice of the existence
and character of records maintained by
the agency. The Office of the General
Counsel (OGC) uses the personally
identifiable information (PII) in this
system to update information or furnish
additional data for the Government
agency handling the pending civil case.
DATES: This action will become effective
on March 7, 2018. The routine uses in
this action will become effective on
April 6, 2018 unless comments are
received that require a contrary
determination.
SUMMARY:
Send comments to Leslie F.
Smith, Privacy Manager, Information
Technology (IT), Room 1–C216, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12th
Street SW, Washington, DC 20554, or to
Leslie.Smith@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Leslie F. Smith, (202) 418–0217, or
Leslie.Smith@fcc.gov (and to obtain a
copy of the Narrative Statement and the
Supplementary Document, which
includes details of the proposed
alterations to this system of records).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice serves to update and modify
FCC/OGC–5, Pending Civil Cases, as a
result of an increased use of electronic
information technology. The substantive
changes and modifications to the
previously published version of the
FCC/OGC–5 system of records include:
1. Change to the Security
Classification to note OMB’s guidance
that this system’s records are not
classified.
2. Addition of 31 U.S.C. 3729–3733 to
the Authorities for Maintenance of the
System.
3. Numerous changes to the Record
Source Categories to include individuals
who file or are subjects of civil cases;
attorneys or representatives of claimants
and subjects of civil cases;
communication between FCC bureaus
and offices, Justice Department and U.S.

attorneys, and other Federal agencies
including U.S. District Courts; and
parties to civil cases and proceedings
and investigative materials, related
documentation, and decisions including
appeals, amendments, litigation, and
related matters.
4. Deletion of one routine use: (2)
Public Access, since releases under the
FOIA are covered by 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(2),
so a separate routine use for them is not
needed.
5. Updating language, adding
information, and/or renumbering five
routine uses: (1) Adjudication and
Litigation (previously (2)); (2) Law
Enforcement and Investigation; (3)
Congressional Inquiries; and (4)
Government-wide Program Management
and Oversight.
6. Adding three new routine uses: (5)
Breach Notification to address real or
suspected data breach situations at the
FCC; (6) Assistance to Federal Agencies
and Entities for assistance with other
Federal agencies’ data breach situations;
and (7) For Non-Federal Personnel to
allow contractors performing or working
on a contract for the Federal
Government access to information.
Routine Uses (5) and (6) are required by
OMB Memorandum m-17–12.
7. Adding a new section: Reporting to
a Consumer Reporting Agency to
address valid and overdue debts owed
by individuals to the FCC under the
Debt Collection Act, as recommended by
OMB.
The system of records is also updated
to reflect various administrative changes
related to the system managers and
system addresses; policy and practices
for storage, retrieval, and retention and
disposal of the records; administrative,
technical, and physical safeguards; and
updated notification, records access,
and contesting records procedures.
