Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. Comments are 
requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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 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 Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject 
to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before November 
1, 2021. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to

    Needs and Uses: The rules adopted herein establish recordkeeping 
requirements for a large variety of entities, including small business 
entities. First, each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) may 
designate a representative who shall be required to file a 
certification with the administrator of the PSAP registry that they are 
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. 
Verified PSAPs shall be permitted to upload to the registry any PSAP 
telephone associated with the provision of emergency services or 
communications with other public safety agencies. On an annual basis 
designated PSAP representatives shall 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.
