FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collection Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

September 17, 2001.
    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 96-511. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number. Not withstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall 
be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not 
display a valid control number. Questions concerning the OMB control 
numbers and expiration dates should be directed to Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214.

Federal Communications Commission

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0813.
    Expiration Date: 07/31/04.
    Title: Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility 
with Enhanced 911 Calling Systems.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Respondents: Business and Government Entities.
    Responses: 42,031.
    Estimated Time Per Response: Between 1 hour and 5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 195,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 0.
    Description: The notification burden on Public Safety Answering 
Points (PSAPs) will be used by the carriers to verify that wireless 911 
calls are referred to PSAPs who have the technical capability to use 
the data to the caller's benefit. TTY and dispatch notification 
requirements will be used to avoid consumer confusion as to the 
capabilities of their handsets in reaching help in emergency 
situations, thus minimizing the possibility of critical delays in 
response time. The annual TTY reports will be used to monitor the 
progress of TTY technology and thus compatibility. Consultations on the

specific meaning assigned to pseudo-ANI are appropriate to ensure that 
all parties are working with the same information. Coordination between 
carriers and State and local entities to determine the appropriate 
PSAPs to receive and respond to E911 calls is necessary because of the 
difficulty in assigning PSAPs based on the location of the wireless 
caller. The deployment schedule that must be submitted by carriers 
seeking a waiver of the E911 Phase I or Phase II deployment schedule 
will be used by the Commission to guarantee that the rules adopted in 
this proceeding are enforced in as timely a manner as possible within 
technological constraints.

Federal Communications Commission.
