following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork

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

with Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems--Petition of the City of 
Richardson, TX, Order on Reconsideration II.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,158.

party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,576 hours.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission seeks OMB approval of this 
information collection associated with the Commission's initiative to 
implement enhanced 911 (E911) emergency services. The Commission 
previously obtained emergency authorization from OMB for this 
information collection under this OMB Control Number (3060-1031). That 
emergency authorization expires on 7/31/03. Accordingly, the Commission 
is now seeking the full three year OMB approval for the information

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0809.
    Title: Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement (CALEA); 
Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Second Order on 
Reconsideration.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, state, local and tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 5,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 36,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission seeks a three year extension of the 
current OMB approval for this information collection. The 
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) requires the 
Commission to create rules that regulate the conduct and recordkeeping 
of lawful electronic surveillance. CALEA was enacted in October 1994 to 
respond to rapid advances in telecommunications technology and 
eliminate obstacles faced by law enforcement personnel in conducting 
electronic surveillance. Section 105 of CALEA requires 
telecommunications carriers to protect against the unlawful 
interception of communications passing through their systems. Law 
enforcement officials use the information maintained by 
telecommunications carriers to determine the accountability and 
accuracy of telecommunications carriers' compliance with lawful 
electronic surveillance orders.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
