universal service support it won, and 

the Commission uses the information 

submitted in the application to 

determine whether the applicant is 

legally, technically, and financially 

qualified to receive such support. The 

requirement that a winning bidder 

obtain, submit, and maintain a letter of 

credit will secure a return of universal 

service funds from a winning bidder 

that defaults on its obligations and will 

protect the integrity of the universal 

service programs. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

determine whether to disburse universal 

service support to a winning bidder or 

protect the government’s interest in the 

funds allocated for Mobility Fund Phase 

I and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1210; FRS 17265] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission 

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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 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 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before January 29, 

2021. 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 PRA@

fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Nicole 

Ongele, (202) 418–2991. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1210. 

Title: Wireless E911 Location 

Accuracy Requirements (PS Docket No. 

07–114). 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, State, Local or Tribal 

Government, and Federal Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 4,567 respondents; 35,531 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2–10 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping, on occasion; one-time; 

quarterly and semi-annual reporting 

requirements, and third-party disclosure 

requirements. 

Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 1, 2, 

4(i), 7, 10, 201, 214, 222, 251(e), 301, 

302, 303, 303(b), 303(r), 307, 307(a), 

309, 309(j)(3), 316, 316(a), and 332 of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 139,461 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is requesting that 

respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission in the 

context of the test bed. Nationwide 

Commercial Mobile Radio Service 

(CMRS) providers must make data from 

the test bed available to small and 

regional CMRS providers so that the 

smaller providers can deploy 

technology throughout their networks 

that is consistent with a deployment 

that was successfully tested in the test 

bed. CMRS providers also may request 

confidential treatment of live 911 call 

data reports, but the Commission 

reserves the right to release aggregate or 

anonymized data on a limited basis to 

facilitate compliance with its rules. 

Needs and Uses: This notice pertains 

to multiple information collections 

relating to the Commission’s wireless 

E911 indoor location accuracy 

regulations. As described below, OMB 

previously approved the information 

collections associated with OMB 

Control No 3060–1210. This notice 

seeks comment on proposed 

modifications to those information 

collections pursuant to the Sixth Report 

and Order and Order on 

Reconsideration in this proceeding, PS 

Docket 07–114. 

New or modified collections. Section 

9.10(i)(4)(iv) requires all CMRS 

providers to certify ‘‘that neither they 

nor any third party they rely on to 

obtain dispatchable location 

information will use dispatchable 

location information or associated data 

for any non-911 purpose, except with 

prior express consent or as otherwise 

required by law.’’ In addition, ‘‘[t]he 

certification must state that CMRS 

providers and any third party they rely 

on to obtain dispatchable location 

information will implement measures 

sufficient to safeguard the privacy and 

security of dispatchable location 

information.’’ Under 47 CFR 

9.10(i)(4)(v), all CMRS providers must 

certify ‘‘that neither they nor any third 

party they rely on to obtain z-axis 

information will use z-axis information 

or associated data for any non-911 

purpose, except with prior express 

consent or as otherwise required by 

law.’’ Further, ‘‘[t]he certification must 

state that CMRS providers and any third 

party they rely on to obtain z-axis 

information will implement measures 

sufficient to safeguard the privacy and 

security of z-axis location information.’’ 

The Commission obtained OMB 

approval for the information collections 

contained in these certifications after 

adopting the Fourth Report and Order 

and Fifth Report and Order under OMB 

Control No. 3060–1210. The Sixth 

Report and Order modified these 

information collections slightly by 

deleting references to the National 

Emergency Address Database (NEAD), 

which has been discontinued and will 

not be available to CMRS providers. The 

Commission does not expect these 

changes to the certification 

requirements to result in any increase or 

decrease in the burden estimates for 

these collections as previously approved 

by OMB. 


TKELLEY on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
76570 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 2020 / Notices 

Section 9.10(i)(3)(ii) requires CMRS 

providers that serve any of the six Test 

Cities identified by ATIS (Atlanta, 

Denver/Front Range, San Francisco, 

Philadelphia, Chicago, and Manhattan 

Borough of New York City) or portions 

thereof to collect and report aggregate 

data on the location technologies used 

for live 911 calls. As discussed below, 

in 2018, the Commission developed a 

reporting template to assist CMRS 

providers in collecting, formatting, and 

submitting aggregate live 911 call data 

in accordance with the requirements in 

the rules. After adopting the Fifth 

Report and Order, the Commission 

indicated that it would modify the live 

call template to include vertical 

location. We now propose to modify the 

form to include z-axis (vertical) location 

information from live calls in addition 

to horizontal location information. 

Specifically, we propose to revise the 

template to include fields for reporting 

the percentage of total 911 calls that 

result in dispatchable location or z-axis 

location information by morphology and 

position technology and for reporting zaxis deployment options used for 911 

calls. 

Section 9.10(j)(4) requires CMRS 

providers to supply confidence and 

uncertainty (C/U) information with 

wireless E911 calls that have 

dispatchable location or z-axis 

information and to do so in accordance 

with the timelines for vertical location 

accuracy compliance. As noted below, 

OMB previously approved and renewed 

a C/U data requirement for horizontal 

location information under OMB 

Control No. 3060–1204. (See also OMB 

Control No. 3060–1147.) The Fifth 

Report and Order extended the C/U 

requirements to include vertical 

location information, and OMB 

approved that modification. The Sixth 

Report and Order revised 47 CFR 

9.10(j)(4) to add a requirement that 

where floor-level information is 

available to CMRS providers, they must 

provide C/U data for the z-axis (vertical) 

information included with such floorlevel information. 

Under Section 9.10(k), CMRS 

providers must record information on 

all live 911 calls, including the C/U data 

that they provide to PSAPs under 

Section 9.10(j) of the rules. In addition, 

Section 9.10(k) requires CMRS 

providers to make this information 

available to PSAPs upon request and to 

retain it for a period of two years. The 

Commission obtained OMB approval for 

the information collections contained in 

Section 9.10(k) after adopting the Fourth 

Report and Order. The Sixth Report and 

Order amended Section 9.10(k) to make 

explicit that the requirements in the rule 

extend to C/U data for dispatchable 

location and floor-level information, as 

well as for z-axis information. This 

eliminated a potential gap in the rule, 

which previously referred only to z-axis 

information. 

Section 9.10(i)(2)(ii)(J)(4) provides 

that a CMRS provider will be deemed to 

have met its z-axis technology 

deployment obligation so long as it 

either pre-installs or affirmatively 

pushes the location technology to end 

users so that they receive a prompt or 

other notice informing them that the 

application or service is available and 

what they need to do to download and 

enable the technology on their phone. A 

CMRS provider will be deemed in 

compliance with its z-axis deployment 

obligation if it makes the technology 

available to the end user in this manner 

even if the end user declines to use the 

technology or subsequently disables it. 

This is a new collection adopted by the 

Commission in the Sixth Report and 

Order. 

Previously approved collections. 

Section 9.10(i)(2)(ii)(A) requires that 

within three years of the effective date 

of the rule, CMRS providers shall 

deliver uncompensated barometric 

pressure data from any device capable 

of delivering such data to PSAPs. This 

requirement is necessary to ensure that 

PSAPs are receiving all location 

information possible to be used for 

dispatch. This requirement is also 

necessary to ensure that CMRS 

providers implement a vertical location 

solution in the event that the proposed 

‘‘dispatchable location’’ solution does 

not function as intended by the threeyear mark and beyond. 

Section 9.10(i)(2)(ii)(B) requires that 

the four nationwide providers submit to 

the Commission for review and 

approval a reasonable metric for z-axis 

(vertical) location accuracy no later than 

3 years from the effective date of rules. 

This requirement is critical to ensure 

that the vertical location framework 

adopted in the Fourth Report and Order 

is effectively implemented. 

Section 9.10(i)(2)(iii) requires CMRS 

providers to certify compliance with the 

Commission’s rules at various 

benchmarks throughout implementation 

of improved location accuracy. This 

requirement is necessary to ensure that 

CMRS providers remain ‘‘on track’’ to 

reach the location accuracy benchmarks. 

Section 9.10(i)(2)(iv) provides that 

PSAPs may seek Commission 

enforcement of the location accuracy 

requirements within their geographic 

service area, but only so long as they 

have implemented policies that are 

designed to obtain all location 

information made available by CMRS 

providers when initiating and delivering 

911 calls to the PSAP. Prior to seeking 

Commission enforcement, a PSAP must 

provide the CMRS provider with 30 

days written notice, and the CMRS 

provider shall have an opportunity to 

address the issue informally. If the issue 

has not been addressed to the PSAP’s 

satisfaction within 90 days, the PSAP 

may seek enforcement relief. 

Section 9.10(i)(3)(i) requires that 

within 12 months of the effective date, 

the four nationwide CMRS providers 

must establish the test bed described in 

the Fourth Report and Order, which will 

validate technologies intended for 

indoor location. The test bed is 

necessary for the compliance 

certification framework adopted in the 

Fourth Report and Order. 

Section 9.10(i)(3)(ii) requires that 

beginning 18 months from the effective 

date of the rules, CMRS providers 

providing service in any of the six Test 

Cities identified by ATIS (Atlanta, 

Denver/Front Range, San Francisco, 

Philadelphia, Chicago, and Manhattan 

Borough of New York City) or portions 

thereof must collect and report aggregate 

data on the location technologies used 

for live 911 calls. Nationwide CMRS 

providers must submit call data on a 

quarterly basis; non-nationwide CMRS 

providers need only submit this data 

every six months. Non-nationwide 

providers that do not provide service in 

any of the Test Cities may satisfy this 

requirement by collecting and reporting 

data based on the largest county within 

the carrier’s footprint. This reporting 

requirement is necessary to validate and 

verify the compliance certifications 

made by CMRS providers. 

The Commission developed a 

reporting template to assist CMRS 

providers in collecting, formatting, and 

submitting aggregate live 911 call data 

in accordance with the requirements in 

the rules. The template will also assist 

the Commission in evaluating the 

progress CMRS providers have made 

toward meeting the 911 location 

accuracy benchmarks. The template is 

an Excel spreadsheet and will be 

available for downloading on the 

Commission’s website. The Commission 

may also develop an online filing 

mechanism for these reports in the 

future. 

Section 9.10(i)(3)(iii) requires CMRS 

providers to retain testing and live call 

data gathered pursuant to this section 

for a period of 2 years. 

Section 9.10(i)(4)(i) provides that no 

later than 18 months from the effective 

date of the adoption of the rule, 

nationwide CMRS providers shall report 

to the Commission their initial plans for 

meeting the indoor location accuracy

requirements of paragraph (i)(2) of 

Section 9.10. Non-nationwide CMRS 

providers will have an additional 6 

months to submit their implementation 

plan. 

Section 9.10(i)(4)(ii) requires that no 

later than 18 months from the effective 

date, each CMRS provider shall submit 

to the Commission a report on its 

progress toward implementing 

improved indoor location accuracy. 

Non-nationwide CMRS providers will 

have an additional 6 months to submit 

their progress reports. All CMRS 

providers shall provide an additional 

progress report no later than 36 months 

from the effective date of the adoption 

of this rule. The 36-month reports shall 

indicate what progress the provider has 

made consistent with its 

implementation plan. 

Section 9.10(i)(4)(iii) requires that 

prior to activation of the NEAD but no 

later than 18 months from the effective 

date of the adoption of this rule, the 

nationwide CMRS providers shall file 

with the Commission and request 

approval for a security and privacy plan 

for the administration and operation of 

the NEAD. 

Section 9.10(i)(4)(iv) requires CMRS 

providers to certify ‘‘that neither they 

nor any third party they rely on to 

obtain dispatchable location 

information will use dispatchable 

location information or associated data 

for any non-911 purpose, except with 

prior express consent or as otherwise 

required by law.’’ In addition, ‘‘[t]he 

certification must state that CMRS 

providers and any third party they rely 

on to obtain dispatchable location 

information will implement measures 

sufficient to safeguard the privacy and 

security of dispatchable location 

information.’’ As noted above, the 

Commission is revising this requirement 

to account for the fact that the NEAD 

has been discontinued. 

Section 9.10(i)(4)(v) requires that 

prior to use of z-axis information to 

meet the Commission’s location 

accuracy requirements, CMRS providers 

must certify ‘‘that neither they nor any 

third party they rely on to obtain z-axis 

information will use z-axis information 

or associated data for any non-911 

purpose, except with prior express 

consent or as otherwise required by 

law.’’ Further, ‘‘[t]he certification must 

state that CMRS providers and any third 

party they rely on to obtain z-axis 

information will implement measures 

sufficient to safeguard the privacy and 

security of z-axis location information.’’ 

This requirement is necessary to ensure 

the privacy and security of any 

personally identifiable information that 

may be collected by the CMRS provider. 

As noted above, the Commission is 

revising this requirement to account for 

the fact that the NEAD has been 

discontinued. 

Section 9.10(j) requires CMRS 

providers to provide standardized 

confidence and uncertainty (C/U) data 

for all wireless 911 calls, whether from 

outdoor or indoor locations, on a percall basis upon the request of a PSAP. 

This requirement makes the use of C/U 

data easier for PSAPs. 

Section 9.10(j)(4) also requires that 

upon meeting the timeframes pursuant 

to paragraphs (i)(2)(ii)(C) and (D) of this 

section, CMRS providers shall provide 

with wireless 911 calls that have 

dispatchable location or z-axis (vertical) 

information the C/U data required under 

paragraph (j)(1) of this section. Where 

available to the CMRS provider, floor 

level information must be provided with 

associated C/U data in addition to z-axis 

location information. 

Section 9.10(k) requires CMRS 

providers to record information on all 

live 911 calls, including but not limited 

to the positioning source method used 

to provide a location fix associated with 

the call, as well as confidence and 

uncertainty data. This information must 

be made available to PSAPs upon 

request, as a measure to promote 

transparency and accountability for this 

set of rules.
