As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the Commission is notifying the public
that it received OMB approval on
September 10, 2024, for the locationbased routing information collection
requirements contained in the
Commission’s rules at 47 CFR 9.10(s)(4)
and (5).
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
current, valid OMB Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the

Total Annual Burden: 2,360 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: Technical
limitations of legacy Enhanced 911
(E911) routing can result in a
Commercial Mobile Radio Service
(CMRS) provider routing a wireless 911
call to a Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) other than the one designated by
the relevant state or local 911 authority
to receive calls from the actual location
of the caller. To improve emergency
response times, the Commission
adopted rules and procedures to require
CMRS providers to implement locationbased routing (LBR) for wireless 911
voice calls and real-time text (RTT)
communications to 911 nationwide.
With location-based routing as
implemented under the Commission’s
rules, CMRS providers will use precise
location information to route wireless
911 voice calls and RTT
communications to 911 to the
appropriate PSAP. To facilitate the
implementation of location-based
routing for wireless 911 voice calls and
RTT communications to 911, and to
monitor compliance, promote
transparency, and ensure accountability,
the Commission adopted certain
information collection requirements.
Certification and reporting. The
Commission will use the information
collected pursuant to § 9.10(s)(4) that is
submitted by the CMRS providers in
their compliance certifications and
reports to assess and monitor the
implementation of LBR for wireless 911
voice calls and RTT communications to
911 call centers nationwide. Also, the
Commission will use the data generated
by the information collections to
analyze the effectiveness of the LBR
implementation at the benchmark dates
set forth in the rules. In addition, it is
imperative that CMRS providers ensure
the privacy and security of locationbased routing information.

compliance with the requirements
specified in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii)
and (s)(2) of this section applicable to
them.
Under § 9.10(s)(4)(i)(B), CMRS
providers must identify specific
network architecture, systems, and
procedures used to comply with
paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) and (s)(2) of
this section, including the extent to
which the CMRS provider validates
location information for routing
purposes and the validation practices
used in connection with this
information.
Under § 9.10(s)(4)(i)(C), CMRS
providers must certify that neither they
nor any third party they rely on to
obtain location information or
associated data used for compliance
with paragraph (s)(1)(i) or (ii) or (s)(2) of
this section will use such location
information or associated data for any
non-911 purpose, except with prior
express consent or as otherwise required
by law. The certification must state that
the CMRS provider and any third
parties it relies on to obtain location
information or associated data used for
compliance with paragraph (s)(1)(i) or
(ii) or (s)(2) of this section have
implemented measures sufficient to
safeguard the privacy and security of
such location information or associated
data.
Under § 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A), CMRS
providers must collect and report
aggregate data on the routing
technologies used for all live wireless
911 voice calls in the locations specified
for live 911 call location data in
paragraph (i)(3)(ii) of this section for a
thirty-day period which begins on the
compliance date(s) specified in
paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) of this
section. CMRS providers must retain
live wireless 911 voice call data
gathered pursuant to this section for a
period of 2 years. CMRS providers must
collect and report the following data,
expressed as both a number and
percentage of the total number of live
wireless 911 voice calls for which data
is collected pursuant to this section.
Under § 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A)(1), CMRS
providers must collect and report the
live wireless 911 voice calls routed with
location-based routing using location
information that meets the timeliness
and accuracy thresholds defined in

is collected pursuant to this section.
Under § 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A)(2), CMRS
providers must collect and report the
live wireless 911 voice calls routed with
location-based routing using location
information that does not meet the
timeliness or accuracy thresholds
defined in paragraphs (s)(3)(i)(A) and
(B) of this section, expressed as both a
number and percentage of the total
number of live wireless 911 voice calls
for which data is collected pursuant to
this section.
Under § 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A)(3), CMRS
providers must collect and report the
live wireless 911 voice calls routed
using tower-based routing, expressed as
both a number and percentage of the
total number of live wireless 911 voice
calls for which data is collected
pursuant to this section.
Modification of deadlines by
agreement. To monitor compliance
dates agreed to between CMRS
providers and PSAPs that are different
from the compliance dates established
by the new rules, § 9.10(s)(5) establishes
notification requirements for CMRS
providers. Nothing in this section of the
rules shall prevent PSAPs and CMRS
providers from establishing, by mutual
consent, deadlines different from those
established for CMRS provider
compliance in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and
(ii) and (s)(2) of this section. The CMRS
provider must notify the Commission of
the dates and terms of the alternate time
frame within 30 days of the parties’
agreement or by June 11, 2024,
whichever is later. The CMRS provider
must subsequently notify the
Commission of the actual date by which
it comes into compliance with the
location-based routing requirements in
paragraph (s)(1)(i) or (ii) or (s)(2) of
§ 9.10 within 30 days of that date or by
June 11, 2024, whichever is later. The
CMRS providers must file any such
notifications pursuant to paragraph
(s)(5) in PS Docket No. 18–64.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Abby Jahn, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
GOA exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of
Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act). Regulations governing fishing by
U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR parts 600
and 679.
The 2024 Pacific cod TAC
apportioned to catcher vessels greater
than or equal to 50 feet (15.2 m) length
overall using HAL gear in the Central
Regulatory Area of the GOA is 1,015
metric tons (mt) as established by the
final 2024 and 2025 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the GOA
(89 FR 15484, March 4, 2024).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the 2024 Pacific cod
TAC apportioned to catcher vessels
greater than or equal to 50 feet (15.2 m)
length overall using HAL gear in the
Central Regulatory Area of the GOA will
soon be reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 1,015 mt is setting
aside the remaining 0 mt as bycatch to
support other anticipated groundfish
fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance has been reached.

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for catcher vessels
greater than or equal to 50 feet (15.2 m)
length overall using HAL gear in the
Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
While this closure is effective, the
maximum retainable amounts at
§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time
during a trip.
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
part 679, which was issued pursuant to
section 304(b), and is exempt from
review under Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there
is good cause to waive prior notice and
an opportunity for public comment on
this action, as notice and comment
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest, as it would prevent
NMFS from responding to the most
recent fisheries data in a timely fashion,
and would delay the closure of Pacific
cod by catcher vessels greater than or
equal to 50 feet (15.2 m) length overall
using HAL gear in the Central
Regulatory Area of the GOA. NMFS was
unable to publish a notice providing
time for public comment because the
most recent, relevant data only became
available as of September 20, 2024.
The Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA also finds good cause
to waive the 30-day delay in the
effective date of this action under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This finding is based
upon the reasons provided above for
waiver of prior notice and opportunity
for public comment.

other than the one designated by the relevant state or local 911
authority to receive calls from the actual location of the caller. To
improve emergency response times, the Commission adopted rules and
procedures to require CMRS providers to implement location-based
routing (LBR) for wireless 911 voice calls and real-time text (RTT)
communications to 911 nationwide. With location-based routing as
implemented under the Commission's rules, CMRS providers will use
precise location information to route wireless 911 voice calls and RTT
communications to 911 to the appropriate PSAP. To facilitate the
implementation of location-based routing for wireless 911 voice calls
and RTT communications to 911, and to monitor compliance, promote
transparency, and ensure accountability, the Commission adopted certain
information collection requirements.
Certification and reporting. The Commission will use the
information collected pursuant to Sec. 9.10(s)(4) that is submitted by
the CMRS providers in their compliance certifications and reports to
assess and monitor the implementation of LBR for wireless 911 voice
calls and RTT communications to 911 call centers nationwide. Also, the
Commission will use the data generated by the information collections
to analyze the effectiveness of the LBR implementation at the benchmark
dates set forth in the rules. In addition, it is imperative that CMRS
providers ensure the privacy and security of location-based routing
information.
Section 9.10(s)(4) requires that within 60 days after each
benchmark specified in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) and (s)(2) of
Sec. 9.10 of the rules, CMRS providers must comply with the following
certification and reporting requirements.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(i)(A), CMRS providers must certify that they
are in compliance with the requirements specified in paragraphs
(s)(1)(i) and (ii) and (s)(2) of this section applicable to them.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(i)(B), CMRS providers must identify specific
network architecture, systems, and procedures used to comply with
paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) and (s)(2) of this section, including the
extent to which the CMRS provider validates location information for
routing purposes and the validation practices used in connection with
this information.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(i)(C), CMRS providers must certify that
neither they nor any third party they rely on to obtain location
information or associated data used for compliance with paragraph
(s)(1)(i) or (ii) or (s)(2) of this section will use such location
information or associated data for any non-911 purpose, except with
prior express consent or as otherwise required by law. The
certification must state that the CMRS provider and any third parties
it relies on to obtain location information or associated data used for
compliance with paragraph (s)(1)(i) or (ii) or (s)(2) of this section
have implemented measures sufficient to safeguard the privacy and
security of such location information or associated data.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A), CMRS providers must collect and
report aggregate data on the routing technologies used for all live
wireless 911 voice calls in the locations specified for live 911 call
location data in paragraph (i)(3)(ii) of this section for a thirty-day
period which begins on the compliance date(s) specified in paragraphs
(s)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section. CMRS providers must retain live
wireless 911 voice call data gathered pursuant to this section for a
period of 2 years. CMRS providers must collect and report the following
data, expressed as both a number and percentage of the total number of
live wireless 911 voice calls for which data is collected pursuant to
this section.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A)(1), CMRS providers must collect and
report the live wireless 911 voice calls routed with location-based
routing using location information that meets the timeliness and
accuracy thresholds defined in paragraphs (s)(3)(i)(A) and (B) of this
section, expressed as both a number and percentage of the total number
of live wireless 911 voice calls for which data is collected pursuant
to this section.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A)(2), CMRS providers must collect and
report the live wireless 911 voice calls routed with location-based
routing using location information that does not meet the timeliness or
accuracy thresholds defined in paragraphs (s)(3)(i)(A) and (B) of this
section, expressed as both a number and percentage of the total number
of live wireless 911 voice calls for which data is collected pursuant
to this section.
Under Sec. 9.10(s)(4)(ii)(A)(3), CMRS providers must collect and
report the live wireless 911 voice calls routed using tower-based
routing, expressed as both a number and percentage of the total number
of live wireless 911 voice calls for which data is collected pursuant
to this section.
Modification of deadlines by agreement. To monitor compliance dates
agreed to between CMRS providers and PSAPs that are different from the
compliance dates established by the new rules, Sec. 9.10(s)(5)
establishes notification requirements for CMRS providers. Nothing in
this section of the rules shall prevent PSAPs and CMRS providers from
establishing, by mutual consent, deadlines different from those
established for CMRS provider compliance in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and
(ii) and (s)(2) of this section. The CMRS provider must notify the
Commission of the dates and terms of the alternate time frame within 30
days of the parties' agreement or by June 11, 2024, whichever is later.
The CMRS provider must subsequently notify the Commission of the actual
date by which it comes into compliance with the location-based routing
requirements in paragraph (s)(1)(i) or (ii) or (s)(2) of Sec. 9.10
within 30 days of that date or by June 11, 2024, whichever is later.
The CMRS providers must file any such notifications pursuant to
paragraph (s)(5) in PS Docket No. 18-64.
