continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. 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 PRA that does not 
display a valid control number. Comments are requested concerning 
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; the accuracy of 
the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection 
burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 
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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number.

designate a representative who shall be required to file a 
certification with the administrator of the PSAP registry that they are 
authorized to place numbers *69623 onto that registry. The designated 
PSAP representative shall provide contact information including the 
PSAP represented, name, title, address, telephone number and email 
address. Verified PSAPs shall be permitted to upload to the registry 
any PSAP telephone associated with the provision of emergency services 
or communications with other public safety agencies. On an annual basis 
designated PSAP representatives shall access the registry, review their 
numbers and remove any ineligible

numbers from the registry. Second, an operator of automatic dialing 
equipment (OADE) is prohibited from contacting any number on the PSAP 
registry. Each OADE must register for access to the PSAP registry by 
providing contact information which includes name, business address, 
contact person, telephone number, email, and all outbound telephone 
numbers used to place autodialed calls. All such contact information 
must be updated within 30 days of any change. In addition, the OADE 
must certify that it is accessing the registry solely to prevent 
autodialed calls to numbers on the registry. An OADE must access and 
employ a version of the PSAP registry obtained from the registry 
administrator no more than 31 days prior to the date any call is made, 
and maintain record documenting this process. No person or entity may 
sell, rent, lease, purchase, share, or use the PSAP registry for any 
purpose expect to comply with our rules prohibiting contact with 
numbers on the registry.

Secretary.
