    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,158.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 4-20 hours.

    Under the Commission's E911 rules, a wireless carrier must provide 
E911 service to a particular Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) 
within six months only if that PSAP makes a request for the service and 
is capable of receiving and utilizing the information provided. In the 
City of Richardson, TX, Order on Reconsideration II, the Commission 
adopted rules clarifying what constitutes a valid PSAP request so as to 
trigger a wireless carrier's obligation to provide service to a PSAP 
within six months. The Commission's actions were intended to facilitate 
the E911 implementation process by encouraging parties to communicate 
with each other early in the implementation process, and to maintain a 
constructive, on-going dialog throughout the implementation process.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0233.

    Needs and Uses: In order to allow determination of the study areas 
that are entitled to an expense adjustment, and the wire centers that 
are entitled to high-cost universal service support, incumbent and 
competitive telecommunications carriers must provide certain data to 
the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) or the Universal 
Service Administrative Company (USAC) annually and/or quarterly. Local 
telecommunications carriers that want to participate in the federal 
universal service program must make certain informational showings to 
demonstrate eligibility. Without such information, NECA and USAC would 
not be able to calculate such payments to eligible carriers.

Federal Communications Commission.
