    As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-

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; and (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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks 
specific comment on how it might ``further reduce the information 
collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees.''

authorized to place numbers onto that registry. The designated PSAP 
representative shall provide contact information including the PSAP 
represented, name, title, address, telephone number and email address.

access the registry, review their numbers and remove any ineligible 
numbers from the registry. Second, an operator of automatic dialing 
equipment (OADE) is prohibited from contacting any number on the PSAP 
registry. Each OADE must register for access to the PSAP registry by 
providing contact information which includes name, business address, 
contact person, telephone number, email, and all outbound telephone 
numbers used to place autodialed calls. All such contact information 
must be updated within 30 days of any change. In addition, the OADE 
must certify that it is accessing the registry solely to prevent 
autodialed calls to numbers on the registry. An OADE must access and 
employ a version of the PSAP registry obtained from the registry 
administrator no more than 31 days prior to the date any call is made, 
and maintain record documenting this process. No person or entity may 
sell, rent, lease, purchase, share, or use the PSAP registry for any 
purpose expect to comply with our rules prohibiting contact with 
numbers on the registry.

Federal Communications Commission.
