‘‘findings on the amount of revenues

Description of Information Collection: 

The Commission will collect

web-based survey that appropriate State 

officials (e.g., State 911 Administrators 

and Budget Officials) will be able to 

access to submit data pertaining to the 

collection and distribution of fees or 

charges for the support or 

implementation of 911 or enhanced 911 

services, including data regarding 

whether their respective state collects 

and distributes such fees or charges, the 

nature (e.g., amount and method of 

assessment or collection) and the 

amount of revenues obligated or 

expended for any purpose other than 

the purpose for which any such 911 or 

enhanced 911 service fees or charges are 

specified. Consistent with Sections 6(f) 

of the NET 911 Act, the Commission 

will request that state officials report 

this information with respect to the fees 

and charges in connection with 

implementation of 911 or E–911 

services within their state, including 

any political subdivision, Indian tribe 

and/or village and regional corporation 

serving any region established pursuant 

to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement 

Act that otherwise lie within their state 

boundaries. In addition, consistent with 

the definition of ‘‘State’’ set out in 

Section 3(40) of the Communications 

Act, the Commission will collect this 

information from, states as well as the 

District of Columbia and the inhabited 

U.S. Territories and possessions.
