Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority

February 23, 2004.
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 (PRA) 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 Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted 
on or before May 3, 2004. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to Judith-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0939.
    Title: E911, Second Memorandum Opinion and Order.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

[[Page 9828]]

    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions; and state, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: In an effort to minimize delays in Enhanced 911 
rule implementation, the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order provides 
that, in the case of disputes between wireless carriers and public 
safety answering points regarding E911 transmission methods or other 
technology, the parties involved may petition for Commission assistance 
in resolving their dispute. Thus, in order for the Commission to 
participate in negotiations, petitioners will have to provide the 
Commission with certain data concerning the dispute.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1060.
    Title: Wireless E911 Coordination Initiative Letter.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: State, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 36.
    Estimated Time per Response: .75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting 
requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 27 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission requests 
continued OMB clearance for an 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. This is necessary for this voluntary reporting 
collection so that the Commission 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.

Secretary.
