    Responses: 800.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 4.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 0.
    Description: The reporting requirement is a two time burden. All of 
the burdens contained in the submission are needed to ensure prompt and 
smooth transition to universal 911 emergency calling services.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0900.
    Expiration Date: 12/31/05.
    Title: Compatibility of Wireless Services with Enhanced 911; Second 
Report and Order in CC Docket No. 94-102.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,190 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 0.
    Description: The information submitted by manufacturers or carriers 
wishing to incorporate new or modified E911 call processing modes will 
be used to keep the Commission informed of technological developments 
and thus to ensure that the Commission's regulations are kept current 
and reflect the preferences of the industry in complying with E911 call 
completion regulations. The voluntary education program will enable 
consumers to use wireless analog sets to make E911 calls in an 
informative manner, ensuring a fast, reliable response.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0813.
    Expiration Date: 6/30//05.
    Title: Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility

(PSAPs) will be used by the carriers to verify that wireless E911 calls 
are referred to PSAPs who have the technical capability to use the data 
to the caller's benefit. TTU 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 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.
