SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1119. 

OMB Approval Date: August 12, 2008. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2011. 

Title: Information Collection 

regarding Redundancy, Resiliency and 

Reliability of 911 and E911 Networks 

and/or Systems as set forth in the 

Commission’s Rules (47 CFR 12.3). 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 74 

responses; 120 hours for local exchange 

carriers, 72 hours for commercial mobile 

radio service providers, and 40 hours for 

interconnected Voice over Internet 

Protocol service providers per response; 

7,792 hours total per year. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

These reports will contain sensitive data 

and, for reasons of national security and 

the prevention of competitive injury to 

reporting entities, Section 12.3 of the 

Commission’s rules specifically states 

that all reports will be afforded 

confidential treatment. Data in these 

reports will be considered confidential 

information that is exempt from routine 

public disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) Exemption 4. 

See 47 CFR 0.457 and 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4); 

see also Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive 7, Part 10. These reports will 

be shared pursuant to a protective order 

with only the following three entities, if 

the entities file a request for the 

information: The National Emergency 

Number Association, The Association of 

Public Safety Communications Officials, 

and The National Association of State 

9–1–1 Administrators. All other access 

to these reports must be sought pursuant 

to procedures set forth in 47 CFR 0.461. 

Notice of any requests for inspection of 

these reports will be provided to the 

filers of the reports pursuant to 47 CFR 

0.461(d)(3). 

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, 

released an Order (FCC 07–107) that 

adopted a rule requiring analysis of 911 

and E911 networks and/or systems and 

reports to the Commission on the 

redundancy, resiliency and reliability of 

those networks and/or systems (47 CFR 

12.3). It is critical that Americans have 

access to a resilient and reliable 911 

system irrespective of the technology 

used to provide the service. These 

analyses and reports on the redundancy, 

resiliency, and dependability of 911 and 

E911 networks and systems will further 

this goal. This requirement will serve 

the public interest and further the 

Commission’s statutory mandate to 

promote the safety of life and property 

through the use of wire and radio 

communication. See 47 U.S.C. 151. 

This rule obligates local exchange 

carriers (LECs), commercial mobile 

radio service (CMRS) providers that are 

required to comply with the wireless 

911 rules set forth in Section 20.18 of 

the Commission’s rules, and 

interconnected Voice over Internet 

Protocol (VoIP) service providers to 

analyze their 911 and E911 networks 

and/or systems and file a detailed report 

to the Commission on the redundancy, 

resiliency and reliability of those 

networks and/or systems. LECs that 

meet the definition of a Class B 

company set forth in Section 32.11(b)(2) 

of the Commission’s rules, nonnationwide commercial mobile radio 

service providers with no more than 

500,000 subscribers at the end of 2001, 

and interconnected VoIP service 

providers with annual revenues below 

the revenue threshold established 

pursuant to Section 32.11 of the 

Commission’s rules are exempt from 

this rule. The reports are due 120 days 

from the date that the Commission or its 

staff announces activation of the 911/ 

E911 network and system reporting 

process.

OMB Approval Date: July 2, 2008. 

Expiration Date: July 31, 2011. 

Title: 700 MHz Eligibility, Regional 

Planning Requirements, Interference 

Protection Criteria and 4.9 GHz 

Guidelines (47 CFR 90.523, 90.527, 

90.545, and 90.1211). 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 21,116 

responses; 2.89236 hours per response;

benefits (47 CFR 90.523, 90,527, and 

90.545); and voluntary. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: Section 90.523 

requires that nongovernmental 

organizations that provide services 

which protect the safety of life or 

property obtain a written statement from 

an authorizing state or local government 

entity to support the nongovernmental 

organization’s application for 

assignment of 700 MHz frequencies. 

Section 90.527 requires 700 MHz 

regional planning committees to submit 

a plan for use of the 700 MHz general 

use spectrum in the consolidated 

narrowband segment 763–775 MHz and 

793–805 MHz. It advocates a fair and 

open process in developing allocation 

assignments by requiring input from 

eligible entities in the allocation 

decisions and the application technical 

review/approval process. Entities that
