SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public

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

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

    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting

    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission requests 
emergency OMB clearance for a new information collection requirement, 
implemented in a letter that was sent, following the FCC's Second E911 
Coordination Initiative, to pertinent State officials who had been 
appointed to oversee their States' programs to implement emergency 
(E911) Phase II service. The Commission would like emergency OMB 
approval for this voluntary reporting collection so that we can correct 
serious inaccuracies and have up-to-date information to ensure the 
integrity of the Commission's database of Public Safety Answering 
Points (PSAPs) throughout the nation. The accurate compiling and 
maintaining of this database is an inherent part of the Commission's 
effort to achieve the expeditious implementation of E911 service across 
the nation and to ensure homeland security.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
