FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission

May 9, 2002.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. 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. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before June 19, 2002. 
If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it 
difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Judith Boley Herman, Federal 
Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0954.
    Title: Implementation of the 911 Act.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, state, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents: 800.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .50-2 hours (average).
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement, on 
occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: On January 11, 2002, the Commission received 
emergency OMB approval for information collection burdens contained in 
rules adopted in a Fifth Report and Order, in CC Docket No. 92-105, 
First Report and Order in WT Docket No. 00-110, and Memorandum Opinion 
and Order on Reconsideration in both dockets, regarding implementation 
of the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999. The 
approval expires on June 30, 2002. Therefore, the Commission now 
resubmits this information collection, with no change, to the Office of 
Management and Budget for the regular three-year approval. The 
Commission requires certain carriers to file various transition 
reports. Those affected carriers are only: (1) Those operating in 
counties where there is no 911 service; (2) those operating in counties 
that are in the process of implementing 911; or (3) those operating in 
counties that have basic 911 service only in some parts as summarized 
by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) in its Report Card 
to the Nation (Congressional Summary, 2001), and more specifically 
identified in the list NENA has submitted at the Commission's request. 
In addition, in March 2002, the Commission issued a Public Notice in 
which it offered a suggested template or sample as an optional guide to 
completing these reports. The coordination requirements will help to 
minimize the chances of confusion between all concerned parties and 
will improve the chances of a smooth, speedy transition to 911 service.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
