program that areas still in 

nonattainment for the 2008 NAAQS are 

in. In total, the EPA estimates there to 

be an additional burden of 357,400 

hours for the state respondents over the 

3-year period compared to the 102,000 

hours during the period of the current 

renewal of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS 

ICR currently approved by OMB (EPA 

ICR No. 2247.03). 

The main reason for the increase is 

the addition of the burden to implement 

the 2015 NAAQS in accordance with 

the 2015 ozone SIP Requirements rule, 

which requires submissions from air 

agencies for 52 nonattainment areas. In 

contrast, only 13 submissions are 

expected from air agencies to meet 

ongoing requirements for the 2008 

ozone NAAQS during the ICR renewal 

period. Moreover, 28 of the 2015 ozone 

nonattainment areas are expected not to 

attain by the 2015 ozone NAAQS 

Marginal attainment date based on 

preliminary 2020 air quality data. The 

burden estimate is based on the 5,000 

hours needed to meet SIP submittal 

requirements that result from an area 

being reclassified from Marginal to 

Moderate during the ICR 3-year period. 

The 2008 ozone NAAQS burden does 

not significantly change. However, 

while there are fewer 2008 

nonattainment areas now that might 

require reclassification than in the prior 

ICR period (13 versus 14) due to states’ 

progress toward attainment, the 

anticipated reclassification of these nine 

areas to Severe will trigger submittal 

requirements during the upcoming 

period. An additional minor difference 

in burden is that previous ozone ICRs 

did not include the burden estimate 

included here for the states in the OTR 

to certify the current state SIPs meets 

the CAA section 184(b)(1)(B) RACT 

requirements. 

Another additional minor difference 

in burden is that previous ozone ICRs 

did not include the burden estimate that 

is included here for the second 

maintenance plans required from states 

for four 1997 ozone maintenance areas 

and three 2008 ozone maintenance areas 

due 8 years after the effective date of the 

first maintenance plans’ final approval 

by EPA. 

Finally, the cost estimates differ 

because the current ICR renewal was 

based on estimates calculated using 

2017 dollars and the new ICR renewal 

is based on 2020 dollars. The burden 

estimate is detailed in the supporting 

statement located in the docket for this 

proposed ICR. The adjustments to the 

cost assumptions are summarized in 

sections 6(b) and 6(c) of the supporting 

statement.

Implementation of the National Suicide 

Hotline Improvement Act of 2018 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Suicide Hotline 

Designation Act of 2020 (Suicide 

Hotline Act) designates 988 as the 

universal telephone number within the 

United States for the purpose of the 

national suicide prevention and mental 

health crisis hotline system within one 

year after enactment of the Suicide 

Hotline Act. It also directs the Federal 

Communications Commission to submit 

a report on location identification. This 

public notice seeks comment on issues 

to inform the location identification 

report, which is due to Congress by 

April 17, 2021. This Public Notice also 

clarifies that the designation of 988 as 

the universal telephone number within 

the United States for the national 

suicide prevention and mental health 

crisis hotline will take effect on October 

17, 2021, which is one year after the 

date of enactment of the Suicide Hotline 

Act, and not on October 16, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 17, 2020, the President signed 

the National Suicide Hotline 

Designation Act of 2020 into law 

(Suicide Hotline Act). The Suicide 

Hotline Act designates 988 as the 

universal telephone number within the 

United States for the purpose of the 

national suicide prevention and mental 

health crisis hotline system within one 

year after enactment of the Suicide 

Hotline Act. It also directs the 

Commission to submit a report on 

location identification. By this public 

notice, we seek comment on issues to 

inform the location identification report, 

which is due to Congress by April 17, 

2021. 

Section 5 of the Suicide Hotline Act 

requires the Commission to submit a 

report to the appropriate committees 

‘‘that examines the feasibility and cost 

of including an automatic dispatchable 

location that would be conveyed with a 

9–8–8 call, regardless of the 

technological platform used and 

including with calls from multi-line 

telephone systems,’’ and as such, we 

seek comment on these issues generally. 

More specifically, what is the feasibility 

of including location information with a 

988 call? What technical issues are 

involved and how can they be 

overcome, including with respect to 

multi-line telephone systems? How long 

would an implementation process take? 

What are the costs involved—both the 

financial costs and any potential risks to 

consumer privacy or other nonmonetary costs? We note that in 

addition to soliciting written public 

comment by this Public Notice, we will 

invite members of our expert advisory 

committee, the North American 

Numbering Council, to discuss and 

provide input on the feasibility and cost 

of including an automatic dispatchable 

location with a 988 call at a forthcoming 

meeting. 

We also take this opportunity to 

clarify the 988 implementation date, as 

well as the effective date of the 

designation of 988 as the universal 

telephone number within the United 

States for the national suicide 

prevention and mental health crisis 

hotline. Prior to enactment of the 

Suicide Hotline Act, the Commission 

designated 988 as the universal 

telephone number within the United 

States for the national suicide 

prevention and mental health crisis 

hotline in a Report and Order released 

on July 17, 2020, and that became 

effective on October 16, 2020. (85 FR 

57767 (Sept. 16, 2020)). The Report and 

Order also set an implementation date 

of July 16, 2022 for all 

telecommunications carriers, 

interconnected voice over internet 

Protocol (VoIP) providers, and one-way 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 8, 2020 / Notices 79015 

VoIP providers to make any network 

changes necessary to ensure that users 

can dial 988 to reach the Lifeline. The 

Suicide Hotline Act states that the 988 

designation shall take effect one year 

after enactment, but is silent on 

implementation. The implementation 

deadline set forth in the Report and 

Order ‘‘to allow sufficient time—but no 

more time than necessary—for covered 

providers to meet the challenges of 

implementing 10-digit dialing in 87 area 

codes and of making necessary changes 

to their switches’’ therefore remains 

unchanged by the Suicide Hotline Act. 

Although the Suicide Hotline Act 

does not mention the Commission’s 

earlier designation of 988 in the Report 

and Order, we construe Congress’s 

independent designation of 988 in the 

Suicide Hotline Act as a ratification of 

the Commission’s designation. 

Accordingly, the Report and Order is 

unaffected by the Suicide Hotline Act, 

except that we now clarify that the 

designation of 988 as the universal 

telephone number within the United 

States for the national suicide 

prevention and mental health crisis 

hotline will take effect on October 17, 

2021, which is one year after the date of 

enactment of the Suicide Hotline Act, 

and not on October 16, 2020. This 

clarification is necessary to make the 

Report and Order consistent with 

Congress’s clear intent that designation 

become effective one year after the date 

of enactment, as stated in section 3 of 

the Suicide Hotline Act. To the extent 

necessary, we hereby waive the October 

16, 2020 effective date of the 

designation in the Report and Order 

until one year after the date of 

enactment of the Suicide Hotline Act. 

This waiver is necessary to effectuate 

Congress’s intent, and we are aware of 

no harm to the public interest that 

would be caused by adopting the 

effective date that Congress prescribed 

in the Suicide Hotline Act. 

The proceeding this Notice initiates 

shall be treated as a ‘‘permit-butdisclose’’ proceeding in accordance 

with the Commission’s ex parte rules.
