Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices 70843 

Needs and Uses: In the Fifth Report 

and Order, the Commission permits 

price cap LECs to introduce new 

services on a streamlined basis, without 

prior approval. The Commission 

modified the rules to eliminate the 

public interest showing required by 

Section 69.4(g) and to eliminate the new 

services test (except in the case of loopbased new services) required under 

Sections 61.49(f) and (g). These 

modifications eliminated the delays that 

existed for the introduction of new 

services as well as to encourage efficient 

investment and innovation. 

The Commission no longer requires 

an incumbent LEC to introduce a new 

service by filing a waiver under Part 69 

of the Commission’s rules. Instead, 

incumbent LECs are allowed to file a 

petition for the new service based on a 

public interest standard. After the first 

incumbent LEC has satisfied the public 

interest requirement for establishing 

new rate elements for a new switched 

access service, other incumbent price 

cap LECs can file petitions seeking 

authority to introduce identical rate 

elements for identical new services, and 

their petitions will be reviewed within 

ten days. If the Common Carrier Bureau 

(now the Wireline Competition Bureau) 

does not act within the prescribed time, 

authority to establish the rate elements 

in question are deemed granted. In the 

event the Bureau denies an incumbent 

LEC’s initial petition, or a subsequent 

petition filed by another incumbent 

LEC, the petitioner must file a Part 69 

waiver petition.

displays a currently valid 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 that does not 

display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a)

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before January 23, 2006. 

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: You may submit your 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection(s) send an e-mail 

to PRA@fcc.gov or contact Judith B. 

Herman at 202–418–0214. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0900. 

Title: Compatibility of Wireless 

Services with Enhanced 911; Second 

Report and Order, CC Docket No. 

94–102. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit, 

not-for-profit institutions, and state, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 140. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 20 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,190 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The rules in this 

proceeding requires that analog cellular 

phones include a separate capability for 

processing 911 calls that permits those 

calls to be handled, where necessary, by 

either cellular carrier in the area. This 

rule applies to new handsets 

manufactured for sale in the United 

States after 02/13/00. The rulemaking 

also sets forth guidelines for 911 call 

completion methods that satisfy the 

Commission’s rules and approved three 

methods for compliance with the call 

completion rules, Automatic A/B 

Roaming-Intelligent Retry, Adequate/ 

Strongest Signal, and Selective Retry. 

Manufacturers may satisfy their 

requirement by selecting any one of 

these methods, all of which entail 

software or hardware modifications. 

This information submitted by 

manufacturers or carriers wishing to 

incorporate new or modified E911 call 

processing modes will be used to keep 

the Commission informed of 

technological developments and thus to 

ensure that the Commission’s 

regulations are kept current and reflect 

the preferences of the industry in 

complying with E911 call completion 

regulations. The rulemaking also 

supported as a voluntary measure (not 

a requirement) industry efforts to 

educate users of analog phones with 

regard to capabilities of the A over B, B 

over A, (A/B, B/A) logic for 911 calls. 

This approach would provide that all 

analog cellular calls, including 911 

calls, would be routed to the customer’s 

preferred carrier if a usable channel is 

available. If a channel is not available, 

the handset would automatically switch 

to a usable channel on the other cellular 

carrier’s system. The industry program 

to educate users should also inform 

customers of the possibility that an 

A/B, B/A approach could produce 

unexpected and wanted roaming 

charges in the case of ordinary calls.
