Number of Respondents and Reponses: 570 respondents; 570 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 12 hours (on average) per initial notification, varies by respondent. Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in sections 1, 4(i), and 251(e)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 251(e)(3); section 101 of the NET 911 Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law 110–283, 47 U.S.C. 615a–1; and section 106 of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law 111–260, 47 U.S.C. 615c. Total Annual Burden: 1,888 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the Commission. Needs and Uses: Section 12.5 of our rules places limited backup power obligations on providers of facilitiesbased fixed, residential voice services that are not line-powered to ensure that such service providers meet their obligation to provide access to 911 service during a power outage, and to provide clarity for the role of consumers and their communities should they elect not to purchase backup power. Specifically, we require providers to disclose to subscribers the following information: (1) Availability of backup power sources; (2) service limitations with and without backup power during a power outage; (3) purchase and replacement options; (4) expected backup power duration; (5) proper usage and storage conditions for the backup power source; (6) subscriber backup power self-testing and monitoring instructions; and (7) backup power warranty details, if any. Each element of this information must be given to subscribers both at the point of sale and annually thereafter, as described in the rule. The disclosure requirements are intended to equip subscribers with necessary information to purchase and maintain a source of backup power to PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 enhance their ability to maintain access to reliable 911 service from their homes. We permit providers to convey both the initial and annual disclosures and information described above by any means reasonably calculated to reach the individual subscriber. For example, a provider may meet this obligation through a combination of disclosures via email, an online billing statement, or other digital or electronic means for subscribers that communicate with the provider through these means. For a subscriber that does not communicate with the provider through email and/or online billing statements—such as someone who ordered service on the phone or in a physical store and receives a paper bill by regular mail— email would not be a means reasonably calculated to reach that subscriber.
