Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify Federal and 

State agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

Federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail

Public Information Collections 

Approved by Office of Management 

and Budget 

June 10, 2009. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC) has received Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval for the following public 

information collections pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number.

Title: Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and 

Speech Disabilities, Report and Order 

and Declaratory Ruling, CG Docket No. 

03–123, FCC 07–186. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 5,211 

responses; 10 to 15 hours per response; 

27,412 total annual hourly burden; $0 

total annual cost. 

Needs and Uses: On November 19, 

2007, the Commission released the 

Telecommunications Relay Services and 

Speech-to-Speech Services for 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, Report and Order and 

Declaratory Ruling (2007 TRS Cost 

Recovery Order), CG Docket No. 03–123, 

FCC 07–186, adopting (1) A new cost 

recovery methodology for interstate 

traditional Telecommunications Relay 

Services (TRS) and interstate Speech-toSpeech (STS) based on the Multi-state 

Average Rate Structure (MARS) plan 

proposed by Hamilton Relay, Inc., (2) a 

new cost recovery methodology for 

interstate captioned telephone service 

(CTS) and interstate and intrastate 

Internet-Protocol (IP) Captioned 

Telephone Service (IP CTS) based on 

the MARS plan, (3) a cost recovery 

methodology for IP Relay based on price 

caps, and (4) a cost recovery 

methodology for Video Relay Services 

(VRS) that adopts tiered rates based on 

call volume. The 2007 TRS Cost 

Recovery Order also clarifies the nature 

and extent that certain categories of 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 116 / Thursday, June 18, 2009 / Notices 28933 

costs are compensable from the 

Interstate TRS Fund (Fund), and 

addresses certain issues concerning the 

management and oversight of the Fund, 

including financial incentives offered to 

consumers to make relay calls and the 

role of the Interstate TRS Fund Advisory 

Council. 

The 2007 TRS Cost Recovery Order 

establishes reporting requirements 

associated with the MARS plan cost 

recovery methodology for compensation 

from the Fund. Specifically, TRS 

providers must submit to the Fund 

administrator the following information 

annually, on a per-state basis, regarding 

the previous calendar year: (1) The perminute compensation rate(s) for 

intrastate traditional TRS, STS and CTS, 

(2) whether the rate applies to session 

minutes or conversation minutes, (3) the 

number of intrastate session minutes for 

traditional TRS, STS and CTS, and (4) 

the number of intrastate conversation 

minutes for traditional TRS, STS, and 

CTS. Also, STS providers must file a 

report annually with the Fund 

administrator and the Commission on 

their specific outreach efforts directly 

attributable to the additional 

compensation approved by the 

Commission for STS outreach. 

In the 2007 TRS Cost Recovery Order, 

the Commission has assessed the effects 

of imposing the submission of rate data, 

and has found that there is no increased 

administrative burden on businesses 

with fewer than 25 employees. The 

Commission recognizes that the 

required rate data is presently available 

with the states and the providers of 

interstate traditional TRS, interstate 

STS, and interstate CTS, thereby no 

additional step is required to produce 

such data. The Commission therefore 

believes that the submission of the rate 

data does not increase an administrative 

burden on businesses. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0519. 

OMB Approval Date: 10/31/2008. 

Expiration Date: 10/31/2011. 

Title: Rules and Regulations 

Implementing the Telephone Consumer 

Protection Act of 1991, CG Docket No. 

02–278. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 

135,607,383 responses; .004 hours (15 

seconds) to 1 hour per response; 

625,406 total annual hourly burden; 

$4,590,000 total annual cost. 

Needs and Uses: The reporting 

requirements included under this OMB 

Control Number 3060–0519 enable the 

Commission to gather information 

regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call 

Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call Act). 

If the information collection was not 

conducted, the Commission would be 

unable to track and enforce violations of 

the Do-Not-Call Act. The Do-Not-Call 

rules provide consumers with several 

options for avoiding most unwanted 

telephone solicitations. 

This national do-not-call registry 

supplements the current companyspecific do-not-call rules for those 

consumers who wish to continue 

requesting that particular companies not 

call them. Any company, which is asked 

by a consumer, including an existing 

customer, not to call again must honor 

that request for five (5) years. 

However, a provision of the 

Commission’s rules allows consumers to 

give specific companies permission to 

call them through an express written 

agreement. Nonprofit organizations, 

companies with whom consumers have 

an established business relationship, 

and calls to persons with whom the 

telemarketer has a personal relationship 

are exempt from the ‘‘do-not-call’’ 

registry requirements. 

On September 21, 2004, the 

Commission released the Safe Harbor 

Order establishing a limited safe harbor 

in which persons will not be liable for 

placing autodialed and prerecorded 

message calls to numbers ported from a 

wireline service within the previous 15 

days. The Commission also amended its 

existing national do-not-call registry 

safe harbor to require telemarketers to 

scrub their lists against the do-not-call 

database every 31 days. 

On December 4, 2007, the 

Commission released the DNC NPRM 

seeking comment on its tentative 

conclusion that registrations with the 

Registry should be honored indefinitely, 

unless a number is disconnected or 

reassigned or the consumer cancels his 

registration. 

On June 17, 2008, the Commission 

released a Report and Order in CG 

Docket No. 02–278, FCC 08–147, 

amending the Commission’s rules under 

the Telephone Consumer Protection Act 

(TCPA) to require sellers and/or 

telemarketers to honor registrations with 

the National Do-Not-Call Registry so 

that registrations will not automatically 

expire based on the current five year 

registration period. Specifically, the 

Commission modifies 64.1200(c)(2) of 

its rules to require sellers and/or 

telemarketers to honor numbers 

registered on the Registry indefinitely or 

until the number is removed by the 

database administrator or the 

registration is cancelled by the 

consumer. In accordance with the DoNot-Call Improvement Act of 2007, the 

Commission revises its rules to 

minimize the inconvenience to 

consumers of having to re-register their 

preferences not to receive telemarketing 

calls and to further the underlying goal 

of the National Do-Not-Call Registry to 

protect consumer privacy rights.

Estimated Annual Burden: 22,500,000 

responses; 1 second (0.000278 hours) to 

15 seconds (0.004167 hours) per 

response; 6,693 total annual hourly 

burden; $266,280 total annual cost. 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 68.224— 

Notice of non-hearing aid compatibility. 

Every non-hearing aid compatible 

telephone offered for sale to the public 

on or after August 17, 1989, whether 

previously-registered, newly registered 

or refurbished shall (a) contain in a 

conspicuous location on the surface of 

its packaging a statement that the 

telephone is not hearing aid compatible, 

or if offered for sale without a 

surrounding package, shall be affixed 

with a written statement that the 

telephone is not hearing aid compatible; 

and (b) be accompanied by instructions 

in accordance with 47 CFR 62.218(b)(2). 

47 CFR 68.300—Labeling 

requirements. As of April 1, 1997, all 

registered telephones, including 

cordless telephones, manufactured in 

the United States (other than for export) 

or imported for use in the United States, 

that are hearing aid compatible shall 

have the letters ‘‘HAC’’ permanently 

affixed. 

The information collections for both 

rules contain third party disclosure and 

labeling requirements. The information 

is used primarily to inform consumers 

who purchase and/or use telephone 

equipment whether the telephone is 

hearing aid compatible.

Form No.: N/A. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 11,250,150 

responses; 60 seconds to 50 hours per 

response; 197,362 total annual hourly 

burden; $116,250 total annual cost. 

Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR 

64.703(a), Operator Service Providers 

(OSPs) are required to disclose, audibly 

and distinctly to the consumer, at no 

charge and before connecting any 

interstate call, how to obtain rate 

quotations, including any applicable 

surcharges. 47 CFR 64.710 imposes 

similar requirements on OSPs to 

28934 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 116 / Thursday, June 18, 2009 / Notices 

inmates at correctional institutions. 47 

CFR 64.709 codifies the requirements 

for OSPs to file informational tariffs 

with the Commission. These rules help 

to ensure that consumers receive 

information necessary to determine 

what the charges associated with an 

OSP-assisted call will be, thereby 

enhancing informed consumer choice in 

the operator services marketplace.

responses; 4.5 hours per response; 4,500 

total annual hourly burden; $0 total 

annual cost. 

Needs and Uses: Section 64.1501(b) 

defines a presubscription or comparable 

arrangement as a contractual agreement 

in which an information service 

provider makes specified disclosures to 

consumers when offering 

‘‘presubscribed’’ information services. 

The disclosures are intended to ensure 

that consumers receive information 

regarding the terms and conditions 

associated with these services before 

they enter into contracts to subscribe to 

them.

burden; $51,285,000 total annual cost. 

Needs and Uses: Section 258 of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996 

directed the Commission to prescribe 

rules to prevent the unauthorized 

change by telecommunications carriers 

of consumers’ selections of 

telecommunications service providers 

(slamming). On March 17, 2003, the 

FCC released the Third Order on 

Reconsideration and Second Further 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, CC 

Docket No. 94–129, FCC 03–42 (Third 

Order on Reconsideration), in which the 

Commission revised and clarified 

certain rules to implement section 258

Order on Reconsideration. On January 9, 

2008, the Commission released the 

Fourth Report and Order, CC Docket No. 

94–129, FCC 07–223, revising its 

requirements concerning verification of 

a consumer’s intent to switch carriers. 

The Fourth Report and Order modifies 

the information collection requirements 

contained in 64.1120(c)(3)(iii) to 

provide for verifications to elicit 

‘‘confirmation that the person on the 

call understands that a carrier change, 

not an upgrade to existing service, bill 

consolidation, or any other misleading 

description of the transaction, is being 

authorized.’’

Report and Order and Order on 

Reconsideration, 20 FCC Rcd 20577 

(2005) (2005 TRS Report and Order), 

published at 70 FR 76208, December 23, 

2005, which created another method for 

some Telecommunications Relay 

Service (TRS) providers to become 

eligible to receive compensation from 

the Interstate TRS Fund (Fund). 

Specifically, the 2005 TRS Report and 

Order amended the TRS regulations to 

permit a common carrier seeking to offer 

Video Relay Service (VRS) or Internet 

Protocol (IP) Relay Service and receive 

compensation from the Fund to apply to 

the Commission for certification as an 

entity providing these services in 

compliance with the TRS rules, and 

therefore eligible to receive 

reimbursement from the Fund. In a 

subsequent declaratory ruling, the 

Commission also permitted entities 

desiring to provide IP captioned 

telephone service to seek certification 

from the Commission for eligibility to 

receive compensation from the Fund. 

Telecommunications Relay Services and 

Speech-to-Speech Services for 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities; Internet-based Captioned 

Telephone Service, CG Docket No. 03– 

123, Declaratory Ruling, 22 FCC Rcd 

379 (2007), published at 72 FR 6960, 

February 14, 2007. 

In order to facilitate this certification 

process, the Commission adopted 

information collection requirements that 

include the following: 

(A) 47 CFR 64.606 (a)(2): Providing 

documentation detailing: (1) A 

description of the forms of TRS to be 

provided, (2) a description of how the 

provider will meet all non-waived 

mandatory minimum standards 

applicable to each form of TRS offered, 

(3) a description of the provider’s 

procedures for ensuring compliance 

with all applicable TRS rules, (4) a 

description of the provider’s complaint 

procedures, (5) a narrative describing 

any areas in which the provider’s 

service will differ from the applicable 

mandatory minimum standards, (6) a 

narrative establishing that services that 

differ from the mandatory minimum 

standards do not violate applicable 

mandatory minimum standards, (7) 

demonstration of status as a common 

carrier, and (8) a statement that the 

provider will file annual compliance 

reports demonstrating continued 

compliance with the rules; 

(B) 47 CFR 64.606 (c)(2): A provider 

may apply for renewal of its 

certification by filing documentation 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 116 / Thursday, June 18, 2009 / Notices 28935 

with the Commission, at least 90 days 

prior to expiration of certification, 

containing the information described in 

47 CFR 64.606 (a)(2); 

(C) 47 CFR 64.606 (e)(2): A provider 

must submit documentation 

demonstrating ongoing compliance with 

the Commission’s minimum standards 

if, for example, the Commission receives 

evidence that a certified provider may 

not be in compliance with the minimum 

standards and the Commission requests 

such information; 

(D) 47 CFR 64.606 (f)(2): Providers 

certified under this section must notify 

the Commission of substantive changes 

in their TRS programs, services, and 

features within 60 days of when such 

changes occur, and must certify that the 

interstate TRS provider continues to 

meet Federal minimum standards after 

implementing the substantive change; 

and 

(E) 47 CFR 64.606 (g): Providers 

certified under this section shall file 

with the Commission, on an annual 

basis, a report providing evidence that 

they are in compliance with 47 CFR 

64.604. In Telecommunication Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities; Americans with Disabilities 

Act of 1990, CG Docket No. 03–123, CC 

Docket No. 98–67, Second Report and

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 18 FCC 

Rcd 12379 (2003), published at 68 FR 

50993, August 25, 2003, the 

Commission adopted additional 

requirements related to the substance 

and implementation of TRS mandatory 

minimum standards. In 47 CFR 

64.604(a)(3), the Commission required 

TRS facilities to provide speed dialing 

functionality, which may entail 

providers maintaining a list of 

telephone numbers. In addition, the 

Commission bolstered the contact 

information requirements of 47 CFR 

64.604(c)(2). 

Furthermore, the Commission 

required providers receiving waivers of 

some of these standards to submit to the 

Commission an annual waiver report 

that details (1) The technological 

changes with respect to the 

functionalities covered by the waivers; 

(2) the progress made; and (3) the steps 

taken to resolve the technological 

problems that prevent these providers 

from offering certain types of TRS calls 

and features.

On May 8, 2006, the Commission 

released Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities; Misuse of IP Relay Service 

and Video Relay Service, Further Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking (IP Relay/VRS 

Misuse FNPRM), CG Docket No. 03–123, 

FCC 06–58, published at 71 FR 31131 

(June 1, 2006), which sought further 

comment on whether IP Relay and VRS 

providers should be required to 

implement user registration systems and 

what information users should provide, 

as a means of curbing illegitimate IP 

Relay and VRS calls. 

On May 9, 2006, the Commission 

released Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, Declaratory Ruling and 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(Interoperability Declaratory Ruling and 

FNPRM), CG Docket No. 03–123, FCC 

06–57, published at 71 FR 30818 and 71 

FR 30848 (May 31, 2006). In the 

Interoperability Declaratory Ruling and 

FNPRM, the Commission sought 

comment on the feasibility of 

establishing a single, open, and global 

database of proxy numbers for VRS 

users that would be available to all 

service providers, so that a hearing 

person can call a VRS user through any 

VRS provider, and without having first 

to ascertain the VRS user’s current IP 

address. 

On June 24, 2008, the Commission 

released Telecommunications Relay 

Services and Speech-to-Speech Services 

for Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities; E911 Requirements for IP– 

Enabled Service Providers, Report and 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (Report and Order), CG 

Docket No. 03–123 and WC Docket No. 

05–196, FCC 08–151, addressing the 

issues raised in these notices. The 

Report and Order provides VRS and IP 

Relay users with a reliable and 

consistent means by which others 

(including emergency personnel) can 

identify or reach them by, among other 

things, integrating VRS and IP Relay 

users into the ten-digit, NANP 

numbering system. 

First, to complete a telephone call to 

an Internet-based TRS user, a provider 

must have some method of logically 

associating the telephone number dialed 

by the caller to the Internet-based TRS 

user’s device. That method, known as 

the TRS Numbering Directory, is a 

central database that maps each user’s 

telephone number to routing 

information needed to find that user’s 

device on the Internet. The Report and 

Order requires VRS and IP Relay 

providers to collect and maintain the 

routing information from their 

registered users and to provision that 

information to the TRS Numbering 

Directory so that this mapping can 

occur. 

Second, because there is no reliable 

means for VRS and IP Relay providers, 

unlike wireline carriers, to 

automatically know the physical 

location of their users, the Report and 

Order requires VRS and IP Relay 

providers to collect and maintain the 

Registered Location of their registered 

users. And to ensure that authorities can 

retrieve a user’s Registered Location 

(along with the provider’s name and 

CA’s identification number for callback 

purposes), the Report and Order 

requires VRS and IP Relay providers to 

provision that information into, or make 

that information available through, ALI 

databases across the country. 

Third, to ensure that VRS and IP 

Relay users are aware of their providers’ 

numbering and E911 service obligations 

and to inform those users of their 

providers’ E911 capabilities, the Report 

and Order requires each VRS and IP 

Relay provider to post an advisory on its 

Web site, and in any promotional 

materials directed to consumers, 

addressing numbering and E911 

services for VRS or IP Relay. Providers 

also must obtain and keep a record of 

affirmative acknowledgement from each 

of their registered users of having 

received and understood the user 

notification.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget 

June 15, 2009. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission has received Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval for the following public 

information collection(s) pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number, 

and no person is required to respond to 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Comments concerning the 

accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and 

any suggestions for reducing the burden 

should be directed to the person listed 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Leslie Haney, Leslie.Haney@fcc.gov, 

(202) 418–1002. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1085. 

OMB Approval Date: June 9, 2009. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2012. 

Title: Section 9.5, Interconnected 

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) 

E911 Compliance. 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 14,320,000 

responses; 24.90 hours per response 

(average); 574,945 hours total annual 

burden hours; and $80,235,305 in 

annual cost. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 

152(a), 153(33), 153(52), and 251(e)(3). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

requesting an extension (no change in 

recordkeeping and/or third party 

disclosure requirements) in order to 

obtain the full three year clearance from 

the OMB. There has been a significant 

decrease in recalculating the number of 

respondents/responses since this was 

last submitted to OMB in 2006. The 

Commission has also increased the total 

annual burden hours and annual costs 

due to a recalculation of the estimates. 

The Commission is obligated by 

statute to promote ‘‘safety of life and 

property’’ and to ‘‘encourage and 

facilitate the prompt deployment 

throughout the United States of a 

seamless, ubiquitous, and reliable endto-end infrastructure’’ for public safety. 

Congress has established 911 as the 

national emergency number to enable 

all citizens to reach emergency services 

directly and efficiently, irrespective of 

whether a citizen uses wireline or 

wireless technology when calling for 

help by dialing 911. Efforts by Federal, 

State and local government, along with 

the significant efforts of wireline and 

wireless service providers, have resulted 

in the nearly ubiquitous deployment of 

this life-saving service. 

The Order the Commission adopted 

on May 19, 2005, sets forth rules 

requiring providers of VoIP services that 

interconnect with the nation’s existing 

public switched telephone network 

(interconnected VoIP services) to supply 

E911 capabilities to their customers. To 

ensure E911 functionality for customers 

of VoIP service providers the 

Commission requires the following 

information collections: 

A. Location Registration. Requires 

providers to interconnected VoIP 

services to obtain location information 

from their customers for use in the 

routing of 911 calls and the provision of 

location information to emergency 

answering points. 

B. Provision of Automatic Location 

Information (ALI). Interconnected VoIP 

service providers will place the location 

information for their customers into, or 

make that information available 

through, specialized databases 

maintained by local exchange carriers 

(and, in at least one case, a state 

government) across the country. 

C. Customer Notification. Requires 

that all providers of interconnected 

VoIP are aware of their interconnected 

VoIP service’s actual E911 capabilities. 

That all providers of interconnected 

VoIP service specifically advise every 

subscriber, both new and existing, 

prominently and in plain language, the 

circumstances under which E911 

service may not be available through the 

interconnected VoIP service or may be 

in some way limited by comparison to 

traditional E911 service. 

D. Record of Customer Notification. 

Requires VoIP providers to obtain and 

keep a record of affirmative 

acknowledgement by every subscriber, 

both new and existing, of having 

received and understood this advisory. 

E. User Notification. In addition, in 

order to ensure to the extent possible 

that the advisory is available to all 

potential users of an interconnected 

VoIP service, interconnected VoIP 

service providers must distribute to all 

subscribers, both new and existing, 

warning stickers or other appropriate 

labels warning subscribers if E911 

service may be limited or not available 

and instructing the subscriber to place 

them on or near the customer premises 

equipment used in conjunction with the 

interconnected VoIP service.
