# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Commission has requested emergency OMB processing review of this new information collection with an OMB approval by November 18, 2005. 

*OMB Control Number:*                     3060-1004.                 

*Title:*                     Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility with Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems.                 

*Form No.:*                     N/A.                 

*Type of Review:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                 

*Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local and tribal government.                 

*Number of Respondents:*                     50 respondents; 213 responses.                 

*Estimated Time Per Response:*                     5-200 hours.                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     Quarterly, semi-annual and one-time reporting requirements, third party disclosure requirement, and recordkeeping requirement.                 

*Total Annual Burden:*                     1,202 hours.                 

*Total Annual Cost:*                     N/A.                 

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     N/A.                 

*Needs and Uses:*                     The Commission is seeking emergency OMB processing of this information collection by November 18, 2005. We have revised this information collection because on October 21, 2005, the Commission released an order (FCC 05-181) finding that certain Tier III carriers did not sufficiently support their requests for waiver of the E911 rules, but providing the carriers with additional time, until July 21, 2006, to augment the record to show a clear path to full compliance with the E911 requirements. The Commission also imposed conditions and required Tier III carriers to file separate status reports by November 21, 2005, and commencing February 1, 2006, additional status reports on a quarterly basis, for a two-year period.                 

In addition, on October 28, 2005 (FCC 05-182) and on November 3, 2005 (FCC 05-188), in response to requests for relief submitted by certain Tier III carriers, the Commission released orders that granted, in part, limited extensions of the December 31, 2005 requirement, subject to conditions, and required Tier III carriers to file status reports on a quarterly basis, for a two-year period beginning on February 1, 2006. Further, FCC 05-188 required one Tier III carrier, in addition to the quarterly reporting requirements, to submit a compliance plan by November 3, 2006.

The Commission will use the information submitted by Tier III carriers subject to reporting requirements to ensure that they comply with the Commission's E911 requirements and the terms of the underlying orders addressing their requests for waiver relief. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
