FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0987]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. 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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 16, 
2017. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collections. 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

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0987.
    Title: 911 Callback Capability; Non-initialized Handsets (47 CFR 
Sections 20.18 (l)(1)(i-iii), 20.18 (l)(2)(i-iii)).
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 968 respondents; 225,968 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.01258143 hour (range of 30 seconds 
for labeling each handset to one hour for each respondent's public 
education effort).
    Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 154, 160, 
201, 251-254, 303, and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,843 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: In 2003, the Commission modified 47 CFR Section 
20.18(l) to further improve the ability of public safety answering 
points (PSAPs) to respond quickly and efficiently to calls for 
emergency assistance made from non-service initialized wireless mobile 
handsets. Non-service-initialized wireless mobile handsets (non-
initialized handsets) are not registered for service with any 
Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licensee. A non-initialized 
handset lacks a dialable number, but is programmed to make outgoing 911 
calls. The Commission addressed issues arising from the inability of a 
PSAP operator to call back a 911 caller who becomes disconnected when 
using a non-service-initialized wireless handset. These requirements 
also apply to manufacturers of 911-only handsets that are manufactured 
after May 3, 2004.
