    Total Annual Burden: 792,667 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Needs and Uses: The rules adopted herein establish recordkeeping 
requirements for a large variety of entities, including small business 
entities. First, each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) may 
designate a representative who shall be required to file a 
certification with the administrator of the PSAP registry that they are 
authorized to place numbers onto that registry. The designated PSAP 
representative shall provide contact information including the PSAP 
represented, name, title, address, telephone number and email address. 
Verified PSAPs shall be permitted to upload to the registry any PSAP 
telephone associated with the provision of emergency services or 
communications with other public safety agencies. On an annual basis 
designated PSAP representatives shall access the registry, review their 
numbers and remove any ineligible numbers from the registry. Second, an 
operator of automatic dialing equipment (OADE) is prohibited from 
contacting any number on the PSAP registry. Each OADE must register for 
access to the PSAP registry by providing contact information which 
includes name, business address, contact person, telephone number, 
email, and all outbound telephone numbers used to place autodialed 
calls. All such contact information must be updated within 30 days of 
any change. In addition, the OADE must certify that it is accessing the 
registry solely to prevent autodialed calls to numbers on the registry. 
An OADE must access and employ a version of the PSAP registry obtained 
from the registry administrator no more than 31 days prior to the date 
any call is made, and maintain record documenting this process. No 
person or entity may sell, rent, lease, purchase, share, or use the 
PSAP registry for any purpose expect to comply with our rules 
prohibiting contact with numbers on the registry.
