Cowden via e-mail at PRA@fcc.gov or at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Title: Information Collection 

regarding Emergency Backup Power for 

Communications Assets as set forth in 

the Commission’s rules (47 CFR 12.2). 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 73 

respondents; 93 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 70.32 

hours (average). 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Total Annual Burden: 6,540 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This 

information collection does not affect 

individuals or households, and 

therefore a privacy impact assessment is 

not required. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

All reports and plans required by 

Section 12.2 of the Commission’s rules 

will be automatically afforded 

confidentiality because the information 

in these reports and plans is sensitive 

for both national security and/or 

commercial reasons. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission, in 

order to help fulfill its statutory 

obligation to make wire and radio 

communications services available to all 

people in the United States for the 

purpose of the national defense and 

promoting safety of life and property, 

adopted an Order (FCC 07–107) that 

includes an emergency backup power 

rule (section 12.2). This rule, as 

modified in an Order on 

Reconsideration (FCC 07–177) obligates 

certain specified local exchange carriers 

(LECs) and commercial mobile radio 

service (CMRS) providers to file a report 

that enumerates whether the carriers 

meet the emergency backup power 

requirement for certain assets specified 

by the rule. 

Specifically, Section 12.2(c) requires 

LECs and CMRS providers to file reports 

with the Commission that identify the 

following information: (1) Each asset 

that was designed to comply with the 

applicable backup power requirement; 

(2) each asset where compliance is 

precluded due to risk to safety or life or 

health; (3) each asset where compliance 

is precluded by private legal obligation 

or agreement; (4) each asset where 

compliance is precluded by Federal, 

state, tribal or local law; and (5) each 

asset that was designed with less than 

the required emergency backup power 

capacity and that is not precluded from 

compliance by risk to safety of life or 

health, private legal obligation or 

agreement, or Federal, state, tribal or 

local law. LECs and CMRS providers 

must file these reports within six 

months of the effective date of this 

requirement, which is the date of 

Federal Register notice announcing 

OMB approval of the information 

collection contained in section 12.2 of 

the Commission’s rules. LECs and 

CMRS providers must include a 

description of facts supporting the basis 

of the LECs or CMRS provider’s claim 

of preclusion from compliance based on 

risk to safety of life or health, private 

legal obligation or agreement, or 

Federal, state, tribal or local law. 

Additionally, LECs and CMRS 

providers identifying assets designed 

with less than the emergency backup 

power capacity required in section 

12.2(a) and not otherwise precluded 

from compliance for one of the three 

reasons identified in section 12.2(b) 

must comply with the backup power 

requirement or file, within 12 months 

from the effective date of section 12.2, 

a certified emergency backup power 

compliance plan that is subject to 

Commission review. The emergency 

backup power compliance plan must 

certify and describe how, in the event of 

a commercial power failure, the LEC or 

CMRS provider will provide emergency 

backup power to 100 percent of the area 

covered by any non-compliant asset, 

relying on on-site and/or portable 

backup power sources or other sources 

as appropriate. This emergency backup 

power must be sufficient for service 

coverage as follows: A minimum of 24 

hours for assets inside central offices 

and eight hours for other assets such as 

cell sites, remote switches, and digital 

loop carrier system remote terminals.
