Federal Communications Commission

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 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 Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before October 1, 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 comments regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act 
submission to Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room

    Title: Wireless Enhanced 911 Service.
    Form No: Not applicable.

    Needs and Uses: The Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order, (FCC 00-

petitions for reconsideration of certain aspects of the Third Report 
and Order in this proceeding concerning the establishment of a 
nationwide wireless enhanced 911 emergency communications service. This 
decision revised, among other things, the deployment schedule that must 
be followed by wireless carriers that choose to implement E911 service 
using a handset-based technology. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
burden involves guidelines for filing successful requests for waiver of 
the E911 Phase II rules. The Commission also extended the filing 
deadline for filing reports. With this submission to OMB, the 
Commission is seeking extension (no change in requirements) in order to 
obtain the full three year clearance.

the Commission is seeking extension (no change in requirements) in 
order to obtain the full three year clearance.
