[CC Docket No. 94-102; DA #00-1875]


Phase I Enhanced 911 Implementation Issues

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 
(Bureau) seeks comment on a request filed by the King County, 
Washington E-911 Program Office for assistance in resolving a conflict 
related to the implementation of wireless Phase I Enhanced 911 (E911) 
service in the State of Washington. The King County Request states that 
King County and several other counties in Washington State have ordered 
Phase I service from wireless carriers operating in the State and that 
the Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in these counties are 
capable of receiving and utilizing Phase I information over their 
existing E911 networks. According to the request, some carriers have 
agreed to implement Phase I service only if King County and the several 
other requesting counties pay for some or all of certain network and 
data base components associated with the delivery of the Phase I 
service.
    King County requests that the Bureau clarify whether the funding of 
certain of the network and data base components of Phase I service, and 
the interface of these components to the existing E911 system, are the 
responsibility of the wireless carriers or the PSAPs.

comments on or before October 11, 2000.
