exchange carriers (LECs) as part of 

transitioning regulation of interstate and 

intrastate switched access and 

reciprocal compensation rate regulation 

to bill-and-keep under section 251(b)(5) 

to file tariffs with state commissions and 

the FCC. This transition affects different 

interstate and intrastate switched access 

rates at specified timeframes and 

establishes an Access Recovery Charge 

by which incumbent LECs will be able 

to assess end users a monthly charge to 

recover some or all of the revenues they 

are permitted to recover from reductions 

in intercarrier compensation rates. To 

permit the Commission and state 

commissions to monitor compliance 

with the revised intercarrier 

compensation rules and for incumbent 

LECs to receive CAF ICC support must 

also certify with its 2012 annual access 

tariff filing and on April 1st of each 

subsequent year that it has complied 

with the procedures for calculating its 

eligible recovery, the calculation of the 

appropriate access recovery charge, and 

that it is eligible to receive the CAF ICC 

support requested. 

The Commission estimates that 1,340 

incumbent LECs annually will have to 

file the required data with the FCC, the 

relevant station commissions, and 

USAC. We also estimate that those 

incumbent LECs will have to make the 

above new certification annually. 

The information collected through 

these data collections will be used by 

the Commission and state commissions 

to determine whether the revised 

intercarrier compensation rules are 

being complied with and the services 

offered are just and reasonable as the 

Act requires. The data will also provide 

the Commission with the information to 

develop procedures to transition 

remaining intercarrier switched access 

rates to bill-and-keep. USAC will use 

the data to ensure that the CAF ICC 

payments it makes are appropriate 

under the revised rules. The 

certification is a further step in the 

compliance and monitoring process.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Information Collection Being 

Submitted for Review and Approval to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3502– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

Comments are requested concerning: (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (d) 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 (e) 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 OMB control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before February 8, 2012. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments 

to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), via fax 

at (202) 395–5167 or via Internet at 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and 

to Judith B. Herman, Federal 

Communications Commission, via the 

Internet at Judith-b.herman@fcc.gov. To 

submit your PRA comments by email 

send them to: PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing 

Director, FCC, at (202) 418–0214. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

Control Number: 3060–0813. 

Title: Section 20.18, Enhanced 911 

Emergency Calling Systems. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, Federal Government, and State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 47,031 

respondents; 47,031 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

4.2142416 hours (average). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and annual reporting requirements, and 

third party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 

154(i), 303(f), and (r), 309, 316 and 332 

of the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 198,200 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) during this 30 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting OMB 

approval for an extension (no change in 

the reporting, recordkeeping and/or 

third party disclosure requirements). 

There is no change in the 

Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. 

The notification requirement on 

Public Safety Answer Points (PSAPs) 

will be used by the carriers to verify that 

wireless E911 calls are referred to 

PSAPs who have the technical 

capability to use the data to the caller’s 

benefit. TTY and dispatch notification 

requirements will be used to avoid 

customer confusion as to the 

capabilities of their handsets in reaching 

help in emergency situations, thus 

minimizing the possibility of critical 

delays in response time. 

The annual TTY reports will be used 

to monitor the progress of TTY 

technology and thus capability. 

Consultations on the specific meaning 

assigned to pseudo-Automatic Location 

Identification (ALI) are appropriate to 

ensure that all parties are working with 

the same information. Coordination 

between carriers and state and local 

entities to determine the appropriate 

PSAPs to receive and respond to E911 

calls is necessary because of the 

difficulty in assigning PSAPs based on 

the location of the wireless caller. The 

deployment schedule that must be 

submitted by carriers seeking a waiver 

of Phase I or Phase II deployment 

schedule will be used by the 

Commission to guarantee that the rules 

are enforced in as timely manner as 

possible within technological 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

constraints. In addition, a wireless 

carrier must implement E911 service 

within the six-month period following 

the date of the PSAP’s request. If the 

carrier challenges the validity of the 

request, the request will be deemed 

valid if the PSAP making the request 

provides the following information: 

(a) Cost Recovery: The PSAP must 

demonstrate that a mechanism is in 

place by which the PSAP will recover 

its costs of the facilities and equipment 

necessary to receive and utilize the E911 

data elements. 

(b) Necessary Equipment: The PSAP 

must provide evidence that it has 

ordered the equipment necessary to 

receive and utilize the E911 data 

elements; and 

(c) Necessary Facilities: The PSAP 

must demonstrate that it has made a 

timely request to the appropriate local 

exchange carrier (LEC) for the necessary 

trunking and other facilities to enable 

E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP. 

This collection is needed to ensure 

that they are ready to receive E911 

Phase I or Phase II information at the 

time that wireless carrier’s obligation to 

deliver that information becomes due. 

This will reduce the possibility of both 

carriers and PSAPs investing money 

before the PSAP is actually E911 

capable. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1155.

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended.

Commission is requesting OMB 

approval for a revision of this 

information collection. 

The Commission revised this 

information collection to add questions 

about prefill applications and the 

number of available channels; and to 

make clarifications for some existing 

questions to the on-line database 

screens. This is being done to make 

completion of the form easier for the 

respondents.
