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,

burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including

    Title: Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility with Enhanced 911 
Emergency Calling Systems.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 47,031.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 198,200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission seeks three-year approval for an 
extension (no change in requirements) for this information collection.
    The Commission responded to a petition for clarification and/or 
declaratory ruling filed by the City of Richardson, TX, by amending the 
Commission's rules to clarify what constitutes a valid Public Safety 
Answering Point (PSAP) triggering a wireless carrier's obligation to 
provide E911 service to that PSAP.
    Specifically, the Order in CC Docket 94-102, FCC 01-293, found that 
a wireless carrier must implement E911 service within the six-month 
period following the date of the PSAP's request, and that if challenged 
by the wireless carrier, the request be deemed valid if the PSAP making 
the request demonstrates that: (1) A mechanism is in place by which the 
PSAP will recover its costs of the facilities and equipment necessary 
to receive and utilize the E911 data elements; (2) the PSAP has ordered 
the equipment necessary to receive and utilize the E911 data and the 
equipment will be installed and capable of receiving and utilizing that 
data no later than six months following its request; and (3) the PSAP 
has made a timely request to the appropriate local exchange carrier 
(LEC) for the necessary trunking and other facilities to enable the 
E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP. In the alternative, the PSAP 
may demonstrate that a funding mechanism is in place, that is E911-
capable using a Non-Call Associated Signaling (NCAS) technology, and 
that it has made a timely request to the appropriate LEC for the 
necessary Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database upgrade.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
