FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

January 17, 2003.
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 March 31, 
2003. 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 or Room 1-A804, 445 12th Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1031.
    Title: Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility 
with Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems: Petition of City of 
Richardson, TX; Order on Reconsideration.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,358.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 2-40 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 13,960 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Order on Reconsideration responds to two 
petitions for reconsideration of a previous Order which responded to a 
petition from the city of Richardson, TX. The current Order on 
Reconsideration contains three new information collection requirements. 
First, it allows wireless carriers to toll the six-month E911 
implementation period if the carrier certifies that the requesting 
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is not E911 capable. Second, PSAPs 
may file a response to the carrier's certification. Third, the Order on 
Reconsideration clarifies that wireless carriers and PSAPs may mutually 
agree on an E911 implementation date other than that prescribed in the 
Commission's rules.
    The Commission sought and obtained emergency OMB approval for this 
information collection on 1/16/03. The Commission is now seeking 
extension of this collection to obtain the full three year OMB 
approval.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
