Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and 
ways to

further reduce the information collection burden on small business 
concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it 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 PRA 
that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 
22, 2014. 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.

Communications Commission, via the Internet at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#dc9eb9b2b5afb4f28fb4bdb49cbabfbff2bbb3aa"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1250777c7b617a3c417a737a527471713c757d64">[email protected]</span></a>. To

    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-1 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time third party disclosure 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 151, 152, 
154(i), 154(j), 154(o), 251(e), 303(b), 303(g), 303(r), 316, and 403.

    Needs and Uses: The information collection entailed in a Public 
Safety Answering Point (PSAP) request is necessary to initiate E911 
service, and serves as notice to the CMRS provider. The notification 
requirement on PSAPs will be used by the carriers to verify that 
wireless E911 calls are referred to PSAPs who have the technical 
capability to use the data to the caller's benefit. If the carrier 
challenges the validity of the request, the request will be deemed 
valid if the PSAP making the request provides the following 
information:
    A. Cost Recovery. The PSAP must demonstrate that a mechanism is in 
place by which the PSAP will recover its costs of the facilities and 
equipment necessary to receive and utilize the E911 data elements;
    B. Necessary Equipment. The PSAP must provide evidence that it has 
ordered the equipment necessary to receive and utilize the E911 data 
elements; and
    C. Necessary Facilities. The PSAP must demonstrate that it has made 
a timely request to the appropriate local exchange carrier for the 
necessary trunking and other facilities to enable E911 data to be 
transmitted to the PSAP.
    In the alternative, the PSAP may demonstrate that a funding 
mechanism is in place, that it is E911 capable using a Non-Call 
Associated Signaling technology, and that it has made a timely request 
to the appropriate LEC for the necessary ALI database upgrade.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
