72682 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 235 / Monday, December 8, 2014 / Notices 

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

2015. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments 

to Benish Shah, Federal 

Communications Commission, via the 

Internet at Benish.Shah@fcc.gov. To 

submit your PRA comments by email 

send them to: PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Benish Shah, Office of Managing 

Director, (202) 418–7866. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1204. 

Title: Deployment of Text-to-911. 

Form Number: N/A.

hours. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for these collections are 

contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i),

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:

Needs and Uses: On August 13, 2014, 

the Commission released the Order, FCC 

14–118, published at 79 FR 55367, 

September 16, 2014, adopting final 

rules—containing information 

collection requirements—to enable the 

Commission to implement text-to-911 

service pursuant to the Second Report 

and Order, FCC 14–118, released August 

13, 2014. The Second Report and Order 

adopts new rules to commence the 

implementation of text-to-911 service 

with an initial deadline of December 31, 

2014 for all covered text providers to be 

capable of supporting text-to-911 

service. The Second Report and Order 

also provides that covered text 

providers then have a six-month 

implementation period—they must 

begin routing all 911 text messages to a 

Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) 

by June 30, 2015 or within six months 

of a valid PSAP request for text-to-911 

service, whichever is later. To 

implement these requirements, the 

Commission seeks to collect information 

primarily for a database in which PSAPs 

will voluntarily register that they are 

technically ready to receive text 

messages to 911. As PSAPs become textready, they may either register in the 

PSAP database (or, if the database is not 

yet available, submit a notification to PS 

Docket Nos. 10–255 and 11–153), or 

provide other written notification 

reasonably acceptable to a covered text 

messaging provider. Either measure 

taken by the PSAP shall constitute 

sufficient notification pursuant to the 

adopted rules in the Second Report and 

Order. PSAPs and covered text 

providers may mutually agree to an 

alternative implementation timeframe 

(other than six months). Covered text 

providers must notify the FCC of the 

dates and terms of the alternate 

timeframe that they have mutually 

agreed on with PSAPs within 30 days of 

the parties’ agreement. 

Additionally, the rules adopted by the 

Second Report and Order also include 

other information collections for third 

party notifications that need to be 

effective in order to implement text-to911, including necessary notifications to 

consumers, covered text providers, and 

the Commission. These notifications are 

essential to ensure that all of the 

affected parties are aware of the 

limitations, capabilities, and status of 

text-to-911 services. These information 

collections will enable the Commission 

to meet objectives to commence the 

implementation of text-to-911 service as 

of December 31, 2014 in furtherance of 

its core mission to ensure the public’s 

safety.

the Study of Bioethical Issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 24, 2009, the President 

established the Presidential Commission 

for the Study of Bioethical Issues (the 

Commission) to advise him on 

bioethical issues generated by novel and 

emerging research in biomedicine and 

related areas of science and technology. 

The Commission is charged with 

identifying and promoting policies and 

practices that ensure ethically 

responsible conduct of scientific 

research and health care delivery. 

Undertaking these duties, the 

Commission seeks to identify and 

examine specific bioethical, legal, and 

social issues related to potential 

scientific and technological advances; 

examine diverse perspectives and 

possibilities for international 

collaboration on these issues; and 

recommend legal, regulatory, or policy 

actions as appropriate. 

The Commission is considering three 

areas of ethical concern raised by public 

health emergency response with a focus 

on the current Ebola virus disease (EVD) 

epidemic. The first area concerns U.S. 

public policies that restrict association 

or movement (such as quarantine), 

which have recently been proposed 

and/or employed for health care 

workers and military personnel 

returning from countries affected by 

EVD in western Africa. The second area 

concerns the ethics of placebocontrolled trials in the context of public 

health emergencies, and the EVD 

epidemic specifically, where the drug 

undergoing testing might be effective 

against the disease causing the 

emergency. The third area of concern is 

the ethical considerations relevant to 

collecting and storing biospecimens 

during a public health emergency, such 

as the EVD epidemic, and sharing these 

specimens and associated data 

internationally for future research. At its 

meeting on November 6, 2014, the 

Commission heard from legal and 

medical experts in public health and 

infectious disease, and began its 

consideration of the complex ethical 

landscape of U.S. public health 

emergency response to the EVD 

epidemic. 

The Commission is interested in 

receiving comments from individuals, 

groups, and professional communities 

regarding the three areas of ethical 

concern outlined above. The 

Commission is particularly interested in 

receiving public commentary regarding 

the following issues in the context of 

public health emergency response 

generally and the EVD epidemic 

specifically: 

• Ethical and scientific standards for 

public health emergency response; 

• Ethical and scientific standards that 

guide the use of quarantine or other 

movement restrictions during public 

health emergencies; 

• The impact of quarantine or other 

movement restrictions on the 

availability or willingness of health 

workers to volunteer to contain the 

epidemic in disease-affected areas; 

• The impact of quarantine or other 

movement restrictions on public fear 

and anxiety about potential threats to 

public health; 

• How U.S. public policy and public 

health response to the current EVD 

epidemic might or should affect public 

attitudes to, and further U.S. policy and 

public health response to, other current 

and future public health issues and 

emergencies; 

• Ethical and scientific standards for 

placebo-controlled trials during public 

health emergencies; 

• Ethical and scientific standards for 

collection, storage, and international 

sharing of biospecimens and associated 

data during public health emergencies. 

To this end, the Commission is 

inviting interested parties to provide 

input and advice through written 

comments. 

Comments will be publicly available, 

including any personally identifiable or 

confidential business information that 

they contain. Trade secrets should not 

be submitted. 

Dated: November 20, 2014.

Executive Director, Presidential Commission 

for the Study of Bioethical Issues.
