    The FCC adopted FCC 10-176, PS Docket No. 07-114, Second Report and 
Order, requires both handset-based and network-based carriers to file a 
list of the specific counties or portions of counties where they are 
utilizing their respective exclusions within 90 days following approval 
from the OMB for the related information collection. The lists must be 
submitted electronically into PS Docket No. 07-114, and copies must be 
sent to the National Emergency Number Association, the Association of 
Public-Safety Communications Officials-International, and the National 
Association of State 9-1-1 Administrators. For network-based carriers, 
the exclusion will sunset on (8 years after effective date) of the rule 
provide for the exclusion.
    The Commission needs the new collection and reporting requirement 
for these exclusions to keep the Commission, public safety 
organizations, and state and local jurisdictions informed of the 
specific counties and areas in those counties where wireless carriers 
are unable to comply with the Commission's amended location accuracy 
requirements. The information sought in this information collection is 
also needed to enable the Commission to ensure that all wireless 
licenses are compliant with the amended location accuracy standards by 
the end of newly adopted benchmark periods.
