FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

June 2, 2005.
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 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 August 15, 2005. 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 [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collection(s), contact Judith B. Herman at 202-418-
0214 or via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0813.
    Title: Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Services.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and state, local or 
tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 47,031.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting 
requirements and third party disclosure requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 198,200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The notification requirement on Public Safety 
Answering Points (PSAPs) will be used by the carriers to verify that 
wireless E911 calls are referred to PSAPs who have the technical 
capability to use the data to the caller's benefit. TTY and dispatch 
notification requirements will be used to avoid customer confusion as 
to the capabilities of their handsets in reaching help in emergency 
situations, thus minimizing the possibility of critical delays in 
response time. The annual TTY reports will be used to monitor the 
progress of TTY technology and thus capability. Consultations on the 
specific meaning assigned to pseudo-Automatic Location Identification 
(ANI) are appropriate to ensure that all parties are working with the 
same information. Coordination between carriers and state and local 
entities to determine the appropriate PSAPs to receive and respond to 
E911 calls is necessary because of the difficulty in assigning PSAPs 
based on the location of the wireless caller. The deployment schedule 
that must be submitted by carriers seeking a waiver of Phase I or Phase 
II deployment schedule will be used by the Commission to guarantee that 
the rules are enforced in timely manner as possible within 
technological constraints.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
