Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 2, 2010 / Notices 67363 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection (IC) to the OMB as an 

extension during this comment period 

to obtain the full three-year clearance 

from them. The Commission is reporting 

no change in burden estimates and no 

change in the reporting requirement. 

The Commission responded to 

petitions for reconsideration of certain 

aspects of the Third Report and Order, 

FCC 99–245, in the proceeding 

concerning the establishment of a 

nationwide wireless enhanced 911 

(E911) emergency communications 

service. 

The Fourth Report and Order, FCC 

00–236, revised and made adjustments 

to the deployment schedule that must 

be followed by wireless carriers that 

chose to implement E911 service using 

a handset-based technology. The 

Commission also deferred the date for 

initial distribution of Automatic 

Location Identification (ALI)-capable 

handsets by seven months; adjusting the 

timetable for carriers to meet certain 

interim benchmarks for activating new 

ALI-capable handsets; deferred the date 

by which a carrier must achieve full 

penetration of ALI-capable handsets by 

one year; modified the manner in which 

the Commission defined full 

penetration; eliminated the separate 

handset phase-in schedule triggered by 

a request from a Public Safety 

Answering Point (PSAP), and addressed 

several other issues regarding 

implementation of enhanced 9111 Phase 

II. The Commission also discussed its 

general approach toward possible 

request for waiver of the E911 Phase II 

requirements. As a general rule, the 

Commission’s rules may be waived for 

good cause shown and that waivers are 

only appropriate if special 

circumstances warrant a deviation from 

the general rule and will serve the 

public interest. Wireless carriers are 

instructed to submit waiver requests 

that are specific, focused and limited in 

scope, and with a clear path to full 

compliance. A waiver request must 

specify the solutions considered and 

explain why none could be employed in 

a way that complies to the Phase II 

rules. If deployment must be delayed, 

the carrier should specify the reason for 

the delay and provide a revised 

schedule. 

The Commission found that waivers 

of the E911 Phase II requirements 

should not generally be warranted, 

especially in light of the vital public 

safety benefits of Phase II. However, in 

those particular cases where waivers 

may be justified, broad generalized 

waivers should not be necessary and 

will not be granted. Further, carriers 

should undertake concrete steps 

necessary to come as close as possible 

to full compliance and should 

document their efforts aimed at 

compliance in support of any waiver 

requests. Carriers seeking a waiver will 

be expected to specify the solutions they 

considered and explain why none could 

be employed in a way that complies 

with the Phase II rules. If deployment is 

scheduled but for some reason must be 

delayed, the carrier should specify the 

reason for the delay and provide a 

revised schedule.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this

Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in sections 105, 

107(c), 109(b) and 301 of the 

Communications Assistance for Law

Needs and Uses: The Commission

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this comment period to 


hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
67364 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 2, 2010 / Notices 

obtain the full three-year approval from 

them. The Commission is revising this 

information collection to eliminate the 

recordkeeping burden estimated 

associated in 47 CFR 1.20004. This 

estimate has been eliminated by 1,655 

hours because the nature and extent of 

the requirement is usual and customary. 

Telecommunications carriers must keep 

such records to demonstrate that they 

are in compliance with Federal and 

State wiretapping laws and regulations 

that have existed for the past 40 years. 

The Communications Assistance for 

Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) requires 

the Commission to create rules that 

regulate the conduct and recordkeeping 

of lawful electronic surveillance. 

CALEA was enacted in October 1994 to 

respond to rapid advances in 

telecommunications technology and 

eliminates obstacles faced by law 

enforcement personnel in conducting 

electronic surveillance. Section 105 of 

CALEA requires telecommunications 

carriers to protect against the unlawful 

interception of communications passing 

through their systems. Law enforcement 

officials use the information maintained 

by telecommunications carriers to 

determine the accountability and 

accuracy of telecommunications 

carriers’ compliance with lawful 

electronic surveillance orders. 

On May 12, 2006, the Commission 

adopted and released a Second Report 

and Order and Memorandum Opinion 

and Order in ET Docket No. 04–195, 

FCC 06–56, which became effective 

August 4, 2006, except for sections 

1.20004 and 1.20005 of the 

Commission’s rules, which became 

effective on February 12, 2007. The 

Second Report and Order established 

new guidelines for filing section 107(c) 

petitions, section 109(b) petitions, and 

monitoring reports (formerly FCC Form 

445). CALEA section 107(c)(1) permits a 

petitioner to apply for an extension of 

time, up to two years from the date that 

the petition is filed, and to come into 

compliance with a particular CALEA 

section 103 capability requirement. 

CALEA section 109(b) permits a 

telecommunications carrier covered by 

CALEA to file a petition with the FCC 

and an application with the Department 

of Justice (DoJ) to request that DoJ pay 

the costs of the carrier’s CALEA 

compliance (cost-shifting relief) with 

respect to any equipment, facility or 

service installed or deployed after 

January 1, 1995. The Second Report and 

Order required several different 

collections of information: 

(1) Within 90 days of the effective 

date of the Second Report and Order, 

facilities based broadband Internet 

access and interconnected Voice over 

Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers newly 

identified in the First Report and Order 

in this proceeding were required to file 

system security statements under the 

Commission’s rules. (Security systems 

are currently approved under this 

information collection.) 

(2) All telecommunications carriers, 

including broadband Internet access and 

interconnected VoIP providers, must file 

updates to their systems security 

statements on file with the Commission 

as their information changes. 

(3) Petitions filed under Section 

107(c), requires for additional time to 

comply with CALEA; these provisions 

apply to all carriers subject to CALEA 

and are voluntary filings. 

(4) Section 109(b), request for 

reimbursement of CALEA; these 

provisions apply to all carriers subject 

to CALEA and are voluntary filings.
