SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: National 9-1-1 Profile Database as part of the National 9-1-
1 Program.
    OMB Number: 2127 New.
    Type of Request: New information collection Requirement.
    Abstract: NHTSA is proposing to collect and aggregate information 
from state level reporting entities that can be used to measure the 
progress of 9-1-1 authorities across the country in enhancing their 
existing operations and migrating to more advanced--Internet-Protocol-
enabled emergency networks. The data will be maintained in a ``National 
9-1-1 Profile Database.'' One of the objectives of the National 9-1-1 
Program is to develop, collect, and disseminate information concerning 
practices, procedures, and technology used in the implementation of E9-
1-1 services and to support 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points 
(PSAPs) and related state and local public safety agencies for 9-1-1 
deployment and operations. The National 9-1-1 profile database can be 
used to follow the progress of 9-1-1 authorities in enhancing their 
existing systems and implementing next-generation networks for more 
advanced systems.
    The goal of the data collection process is to support a national 9-
1-1 profile that will be used to help accurately measure and depict the 
current status and planned capabilities of 9-1-1 systems across the 
United States. Evaluations, based upon the data collected, will help 
draw attention to key roadblocks and solutions in the deployment 
process and to target possible future activities and resources 
consistent with the goals of the program. The information in aggregated 
form will be available to state and local stakeholders in the public 
safety community.
    Affected Public: Under this proposed effort, NHTSA would 
specifically request reporting entities to voluntarily collect and 
annually report the data described above utilizing the described web-
based data collection tool. Reporting entities are state level 9-1-1 
program officials, and the data reported will reflect state-level 
aggregated data. Where a state statute has not established a state-
level 9-1-1 program, the authorized entity is the state E9-1-1 
Coordinator designated under 47 U.S.C. 942(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    The total number of respondents is identified at fifty-six (56), 
including the fifty states and the six U.S. Territories of Guam, U.S. 
Minor Outlying Islands, American Samoa, Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin 
Islands, and Puerto Rico.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: NHTSA estimates that the time 
required to annually report the data described utilizing the web-based 
tool will be three hours (2 hours of preparation, 1 hour of entry to 
Web site) per reporting entity, for a total of 168 hours for all 
entities.
    The respondents would not incur any reporting costs from the 
information collection beyond the time it takes to gather the 
information, prepare it for reporting and then populate the web-based 
data collection tool. The respondents also would not incur any 
recordkeeping burden or recordkeeping costs from the information 
collection.
    Send comments within 30 days, to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: NHTSA Desk Officer.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. A comment to OMB is most effective if
