Total Annual Burden: 10,012 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Needs and Uses: In a Report and Order released on July 19, 2024, FCC 24–78, published at 89 FR 78066, September 24, 2024, the Commission adopted rules to advance the nationwide transition to Next Generation 911 (NG911).1 These rules require wireline providers, Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers, covered text providers, providers of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, and providers of Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Service (internet-based TRS) (collectively, OSPs) to take actions to start or continue the transition to NG911 in coordination with 911 Authorities. Associated with these rules, the Commission seeks OMB approval for notification and recordkeeping requirements applicable to 911 Authorities and OSPs, as described in more detail herein. Specifically, the rules require OSPs to take steps in two phases to complete all translation and routing to deliver 911 traffic, including associated routing and location information, in the requested IP-based format. These requirements are intended to correspond to and complement the readiness phases for 911 Authorities so that once a 911 Authority is ready to receive NG911 traffic in a specific IP format, the OSP will be required to deliver it in that format. In Phase 1, OSPs will be required to deliver 911 traffic in a basic Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) format to NG911 Delivery Points designated by the 911 Authority in the 911 Authority’s State or territory, and complete connectivity testing. In Phase 2, OSPs will be required to deliver 911 traffic in SIP format that complies with NG911 commonly accepted standards to NG911 Delivery Points designated by the 911 Authority in the 911 Authority’s State or territory, install and put into operation all necessary equipment, software, and other infrastructure, and complete connectivity testing. For each phase, OSPs must meet certain implementation deadlines. OSPs must bear the financial responsibility for such transmission, including costs associated with completing any needed TDM-to-IP translation and the costs of delivering associated routing and location 1 The Report and Order was corrected via two errata released on September 5, 2024, and October 1, 2024.
