verification that the signatory had read the submission and that the

for the wireless Enhanced 911 Phase II interim handset and network 
upgrade compliance deadlines under 47 CFR 20.18(f) and (g) for non-
nationwide carriers that filed waiver requests relating to those 
deadlines--Tier II Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) carriers must 
begin to comply on March 1, 2002 and Tier III CMRS carriers on 
September 1, 2003. Previously, the FCC had provided similar, but less 
extensive relief from these rules to the nationwide carriers that had 
requested it. The FCC also established reporting requirements of 
December 31, 2002 to monitor the progress and insure the E 911 
compliance for these effected nationwide carriers. The Stay now places 
identical quarterly reporting requirements on Tier II carriers and a 
one-time reporting requirement on Tier III carriers.

    Federal Communications Commission.
