47 CFR Part 9

[PS Docket No. 07-114; FRS 17212]


Wireless E911 Location Accuracy Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is 
correcting the dates announced in a document that appeared in the 
Federal Register on August 28, 2020. That document announced that 
compliance with specific sections of the Commission rules will not be 
required until the Commission publishes a document in the Federal 
Register announcing the compliance date. This document corrects the 
list of rule provisions subject to this compliance date. In addition, 
this document revises a section of the Commission's rules to advise 
that compliance is not required until after OMB approval of the 
information collection and recordkeeping requirements.

DATES: November 5, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Evanoff, [email protected], of 
the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, Policy and Licensing 
Division, (202) 418-0848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

    In FR Doc. 2020-18795 appearing on page 53234 in the Federal 
Register on Friday, August 28, 2020, the following corrections are 
made:
    1. On page 53234, in the first column, the Compliance date is 
corrected to read:
    Compliance date: Compliance will not be required for Sec.  
9.10(i)(2)(ii)(J)(4), (i)(4)(iv) and (v), (j)(4), and (k) until the 
Commission publishes a document in the Federal Register announcing the 
compliance date.
    2. On page 53245, in the first column, paragraph 74 is corrected to 
read:
    74. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis. The requirements in sections 
9.10(i)(2)(ii)(J)(4), 9.10(i)(4)(iv), 9.10(i)(4)(v), 9.10(j)(4) and 
9.10(k), constitute modified information collections. They will be 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under 
section 3507(d) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). OMB, the 
general public, and other Federal agencies will be invited to comment 
on the new or modified information collection requirements

[[Page 70501]]

contained in this proceeding. This document will be submitted to OMB 
for review under section 3507(d) of the PRA. In addition, we note that, 
pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, we 
previously sought, but did not receive, specific comment on how the 
Commission might further reduce the information collection burden for 
small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The Commission 
does not believe that the new or modified information collection 
requirements in sections 9.10(i)(2)(ii)(J)(4), 9.10(i)(4)(iv), 
9.10(i)(4)(v), 9.10(j)(4) and 9.10(k), will be unduly burdensome on 
small businesses. Applying these new or modified information 
collections will promote 911 service and emergency response to the 
benefit of all sizes of governmental jurisdictions, businesses, 
equipment manufacturers, and business associations by providing greater 
confidence in 911 location accuracy and greater consistency between the 
Commission's horizontal and vertical location rules. We describe 
impacts that might affect small businesses, a category that includes 
most businesses with fewer than 25 employees, in the FRFA in Appendix B 
of the Sixth Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration.
    3. On page 53245, in the second column, paragraph 77 is corrected 
to read:
    77. It is further ordered that the amendments of the Commission's 
rules as set forth in Appendix A are adopted, effective thirty days 
from the date of publication in the Federal Register. Sections 
9.10(i)(2)(ii)(J)(4), 9.10(i)(4)(iv), 9.10(i)(4)(v), 9.10(j)(4) and 
9.10(k) contain new or modified information collection requirements 
that require OMB review under the PRA. The Commission directs the 
Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) to announce the 
effective date of those information collections in a document published 
in the Federal Register after the Commission receives OMB approval, and 
directs the Bureau to cause section 9.10(s) to be revised accordingly.
