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.

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,

    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.

Deputy Secretary.
