Needs and Uses: The information collection entailed in a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) request is necessary to initiate E911 service and serves as notice to the CMRS provider.

If the carrier challenges the validity of the request, the request will be deemed valid if the PSAP making the request provides the following information: A. Cost Recovery. The PSAP must demonstrate that a mechanism is in place by which the PSAP will recover its costs of the facilities and equipment necessary to receive and utilize the E911 data elements; B. Necessary Equipment. The PSAP must provide evidence that it has ordered the equipment necessary to receive and utilize the E911 data elements; and C. Necessary Facilities. The PSAP must demonstrate that it has made a timely request to the appropriate local exchange carrier for the necessary trunking and other facilities to enable E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP.

Those proposed rules and proposed rule modifications take effect only if approved by the Federal Trade Commission.2 The proposed rules and rule modifications must be published in the Federal Register for public comment.3 Thereafter, the Commission has 60 days from the date of publication to approve or disapprove the proposed rule or rule modification.4 Pursuant to Section 3053(a) of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020 and Commission Rule 1.142, notice is hereby given that, on May 31, 2023, the Authority filed with the Federal Trade Commission an Enforcement proposed rule modification and supporting documentation as described in Sections s I and II of this PO 00000 1 15 U.S.C. 3051 through 3060.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Background, Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for the Proposed Rule Modification a. Background and Purpose The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020 (‘‘Act’’) recognizes that the establishment of a national set of uniform standards for racetrack safety and medication control will enhance the safety and integrity of horseracing. On December 20, 2021, the Authority filed with the Commission the Rule 8000 Series, which establishes penalties and adjudicatory procedures for the enforcement of rules promulgated by the Authority. The Rule 8000 Series was published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2022,6 and approved by the Commission by Order dated March 25, 2022.7 In its Order, the Commission directed the Authority to file modifications to several provisions in the Rule Series 8000, including a modification which ‘‘further defines the meaning of ‘‘object’’ and ‘‘device’’ within proposed Rule 8400(a)(2)’s list of items eligible for seizure (‘‘medication, drug, substance, paraphernalia, object, or device’’) and that provides a process for the return of seized property if no violation is found.’’ 8 In a subsequent Order dated September 23, 2022, which approved the proposed modifications to the Rule 8000 Series, the Commission directed the Authority to further refine the language pertaining to the Authority’s power to seize items.9 The Authority therefore proposes the rule modifications described in this publication in order to fulfill the Commission’s directive.
