FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collections Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

July 20, 2004.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a 
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless 
it displays a currently valid control number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Arthur Lechtman, Federal 
Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554, 
(202) 418-1465 or via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1059.
    OMB Approval Date: 3/2/2004.
    Expiration Date: 3/31/2007.
    Title: Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility 
with Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems; Amendment of Parts 2 and 
25 to Implement the Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite 
(GMPCS) Memorandum of Understanding and Arrangements; Petition of the 
National Telecommunications and Information Administration to Amend 
Part 25 of the Commission's Rules to Establish Emissions Limits for 
Mobile and Portable Earth Stations Operating in the 1610-1660.5 MHz 
Band.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual burden: 25 respondents; 75 total annual burden 
hours; 1-2 hours per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission proposes that Mobile Satellite 
Service (MSS) carriers subject to the emergency call center requirement 
(47 CFR 25.284) prepare and submit a report on their plans for 
implementing call centers no later than three months prior to the call 
center's effective date (i.e., 12 months after Federal Register 
publication of Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure 
Compatibility With Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems, CC Docket 
No. 94-102, Amendment of Parts 2 and 25 to Implement the Global Mobile 
Personal Communications by Satellite (GMPCS) Memorandum of 
Understanding and Arrangements; Petition of the National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration to Amend Part 25 of 
the Commission's Rules to Establish Emissions Limits for Mobile and 
Portable Earth Stations Operating in the 1610-1660.5 MHz Band, IB 
Docket No. 99-67, Report and Order and Second Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 03-290 (rel. Dec. 1, 2003)). These advance 
reports would assist Commission efforts to monitor call center 
development and provide the public with valuable information about MSS 
emergency services. In addition, the Commission proposes recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements that MSS carriers would be subject to after 
the call center rule's effective date. The Commission proposed that MSS 
carriers record data on the number of calls that their emergency call 
centers receive, the number of calls that require forwarding to a 
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), and the success rate in handing 
off calls to the proper PSAP. Furthermore, the Commission is seeking 
comment on whether MSS carriers should record and store this 
information themselves, subject to Commission inspection at any time, 
or whether MSS carriers should file the information in the form of a 
report once a year. The collection of call data would allow the 
Commission to monitor compliance with the call center requirement and 
track usage trends. The Commission also seeks comment on sunset 
provisions for any recordkeeping or reporting requirements.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Deputy Secretary.
