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.

Commission has received OMB 

approval for most of the information 

collections required by these orders. 

Through several orders, the 

Commission has recently changed or 

modified reporting obligations for highcost support. 

In September 2019, the Commission 

adopted the Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin 

Islands Stage 2 Order, which allocated 

nearly a billion additional dollars to 

United States territories that had 

suffered extensive infrastructure damage 

due to Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The 

Uniendo a Puerto Rico Fund and the 

Connect USVI Fund, et al., WC Docket 

No. 18–143, et al., Report and Order and 

Order on Reconsideration, 34 FCC Rcd 

9109 (2019) (Puerto Rico and USVI 

Stage 2 Order). The Commission 

adopted similar accountability measures 

for recipients of this support as required 

of other high-cost support recipients to 

ensure that providers receive support 

‘‘only for the provision, maintenance, 

and upgrading of facilities and services 

for which the support is intended.’’ 

Puerto Rico and USVI Stage 2 Order, 34 

FCC Rcd at 9149, para. 72. 

In the 2019 Supply Chain Order, the 

Commission adopted a rule prohibiting 

the use of USF support to purchase or 

obtain any equipment or services 

produced or provided by a covered 

company posing a national security 

threat to the integrity of 

communications networks or the 

communications supply chain. 

Protecting Against National Security 

Threats to the Communications Supply 

Chain Through FCC Programs, WC 

Docket No. 18–89, Report and Order, 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

and Order, 34 FCC Rcd 11423, 11433, 

para. 26. See also 47 CFR 54.9. In June 

2020, the Public Safety and Homeland 

Security Bureau issued final 

designations of Huawei Technologies 

Company (Huawei) and ZTE Corp. 

(ZTE) as covered companies for the 

purposes of this rule. Protecting Against 

National Security Threats to the 

Communications Supply Chain Through 

FCC Programs—Huawei Designation, 

WC Docket No. 19–351, Order, 35 FCC 

Rcd 6604 (PSHSB June 30, 2020)

FCC Programs—ZTE Designation, WC 

Docket No. 19–352, Order, 35 FCC Rcd 

6633 (PSHSB June 30, 2020) (ZTE 

Designation Order). Accordingly, USF 

recipients may not use USF funds to 

purchase, obtain, maintain, improve, 

modify, manage, or otherwise support 

Huawei or ZTE equipment or services in 

any way, including upgrades to existing 

Huawei or ZTE equipment and services. 

Huawei Designation Order, 35 FCC Rcd 

at 6608, para. 10; ZTE Designation 

Order, 35 FCC Rcd at 6637, para. 10. 

Moreover, USF recipients must certify 

that they are in compliance with this 

rule. 2019 Supply Chain Order, 34 FCC 

Rcd at 11454, para. 79; see also 47 CFR 

54.9. 

In the CAF Phase II Auction Order, in 

addition to rules requiring Connect 

America Phase II auction support 

recipients to report regarding support 

used for capital expenditures, certify 

regarding available funds, and certify 

that the Phase II-funded network meets 

performance requirements, the 

Commission also adopted rules 

requiring that Phase II auction support 

recipients must report information on 

served community anchor institutions 

and certify regarding bidding on FCC 

Form 470 postings for eligible schools 

and libraries in census blocks where the 

carrier receives auction support.

Docket No. 10–90, et al., Report and 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, 31 FCC Rcd 5949 (2016) 

(CAF Phase II Auction Order). 

Recipients of Uniendo a Puerto Rico 

Fund and Connect USVI Fund Stage 2 

support must also observe these 

requirements in addition to the general 

requirements for high-cost support 

recipients and requirements specific to 

the Uniendo a Puerto Rico Fund and 

Connect USVI Fund programs. See 

Puerto Rico and USVI Stage 2 Order, 34 

FCC Rcd at 9150, para. 74. 

We therefore propose to revise this 

information collection, as well as Form 

481 and its accompanying instructions, 

to reflect these new and revised 

requirements. We also eliminate one 

requirement that is associated with 

obligations no longer in effect for certain 

carriers. Finally, we propose to increase 

the burdens associated with existing 

reporting requirements to account for 

additional carriers that will be subject to 

those requirements.
