Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
If appropriate, respondents may include
a request for confidential treatment
under Section 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules. 47 CFR 0.459 with
information supplied under this
information collection.
Needs and Uses: The nation’s
communications networks provide a
significant lifeline for those in need
during disasters and other emergencies.
Recent events, including Hurricane Ida,
earthquakes in Puerto Rico, severe
winter storms in Texas, and active
hurricane and wildfire seasons, have
demonstrated however that the United
States’ communications infrastructure is
susceptible to disruption during disaster
events. To address this issue, the
Federal Communications Commission
adopted a Report and Order in June
2022 to improve the reliability and
resiliency of mobile wireless networks.
See 87 FR 59329 (2022). In the Report
and Order, the Commission introduced
the Mandatory Disaster Response
Initiative (MDRI) and set forth
requirements that the nation’s facilitiesbased mobile wireless providers must
take to ensure their compliance the
MDRI. Pursuant to the MDRI, these
providers must take action related to
roaming with other providers, mutual
aid agreements, municipal preparedness
and restoration and consumer readiness
and preparation. These providers must
also submit reports to the Commission
detailing the timing, duration, and
effectiveness of their implementation of
the MDRI’s provisions on request,
perform annual testing of their roaming
capabilities and related coordination
processes, and issue written denials of
roaming requests, among other
requirements.
The Commission submits this
information collection, which seeks to
have collected information described in
the Report and Order, to support its
adoption of the MDRI. The collected
information will be used by the
Commission, consumers and consumer
groups, service providers to realize
significant public safety benefits. For
example, consumers and consumer
groups will use the information to
increase consumer education and

improve consumer preparedness for
disasters and other emergencies.
Further, providers will use the
information to ensure that roaming will
work expeditiously in times of
emergencies and to better understand
their network capabilities related to
roaming and ensure their networks roam
as effectively as possible when a
disaster strikes. Further, the
Commission will use information as a
basis for potential future improvements
to the MDRI and other programs in
furtherance of public safety, including
by gauging providers’ compliance with
the MDRI’s roaming provision, ensuring
accountability by providers who fail to
comply and for resolving disputes
related to roaming agreements. Thus,
the information sought in this collection
is necessary and vital to ensuring that
the MDRI is effective at protecting the
life and property of the public.
