The regulations have not changed over 

the past three years and are not 

anticipated to change over the next 

three years; and (2) the current growth 

rate for the industry is very low, 

negative or nonexistent, so there is no 

significant change in the overall burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

5 U.S.C., App. 2 (FACA), notice is 

hereby given that the SAB 

Environmental Engineering Committee 

augmented with additional experts will 

hold a public meeting to discuss 

comments on EPA’s Aging Drinking 

Water and Wastewater Infrastructure 

Research Initiative. The SAB was 

established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4365 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

FACA. The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Background: As discussed in the 

Federal Register Notice dated March 31, 

2009 (74 FR 14553–14555) announcing 

this advisory activity, EPA’s ORD 

initiated a research program in 2007 to 

improve and evaluate innovative 

technologies and techniques for 

reducing the cost and improving the 

effectiveness of operations, 

maintenance, and replacement of aging 

and failing systems for drinking water 

and wastewater treatment and 

conveyance. The outputs from this 

research program are intended to assist 

EPA’s program and regional offices to 

implement Clean Water Act and Safe 

Drinking Water Act requirements; to 

help states and tribes meet their 

programmatic requirements; and to 

assist utilities to more effectively 

implement comprehensive management 

of drinking water and wastewater 

treatment and conveyance systems, 

provide reliable service to their 

customers, and meet their statutory 

requirements. In response to a request 

from EPA’s ORD, the augmented EEC 

will hold a public meeting to provide 

comments on the suitability and 

appropriateness of completed, existing 

and upcoming research projects; 

whether additional projects are needed; 

and the overall scope of the initiative. 

Additional information about this 

consultative activity including a 

meeting agenda will be posted on the 

SAB Web site prior to the meeting at

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

32156 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 7, 2009 / Notices 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) 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 control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

Control Number: 3060–1031. 

Title: Commission’s Initiative to 

Implement Enhanced 911 (E911) 

Emergency Services. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; Federal 

Government; and State, local or tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 858 

respondents; 1,992 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2–4 

hours per requirement. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 154, 160, 201, 251–254, 303 

and 332 unless otherwise noted. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,168 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60 day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is requesting an extension (no change in 

the reporting, recordkeeping and/or 

third party certification and notification 

requirements) of this information 

collection. There is a change in the 

estimated respondents/responses and 

the annual burden hours. The 

Commission is reporting 834 additional 

responses. Therefore, the total annual 

burden hour estimate has increased by 

3,592 total annual burden hours. This 

change is due to a recalculation of all 

the estimates for each requirement in 

the Supporting Statement. Pursuant to 

the Commission’s E911 rules, a wireless 

carrier must provide E911 service to a 

particular Public Safety Answering 

Point (PSAP) within six months if that 

PSAP makes a request for the service 

and is capable of receiving and utilizing 

the information provided. In the City of 

Richardson Order, the Commission 

adopted rules clarifying what 

constitutes a valid PSAP request so as 

to trigger a wireless carrier’s obligation 

to provide service to a PSAP within six 

months. 

In November 2002, the Commission 

released the City of Richardson Order 

on Reconsideration, modifying its E911 

rules to provide additional clarification 

on the issue of PSAP readiness. The 

Commission’s actions were intended to 

facilitate the E911 implementation 

process by encouraging parties to 

communicate with each other early in 

the implementation process, and to 

maintain a constructive, on going dialog 

throughout the implementation process. 

The Order contained three 

information collection requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

for which the Commission seeks 

continued OMB approval: 

(a) The Commission established a 

procedure whereby wireless carriers 

that have completed all necessary steps 

toward E911 implementation that are 

not dependent on PSAP readiness may 

have their compliance obligation 

temporarily tolled, if the PSAP is not 

ready to receive the information at the 

end of the six-month period, and the 

carrier files a certification to that effect 

with the Commission. 

(b) As part of the certification and 

notification process (third party 

disclosure requirements), a carrier must 

notify the PSAP of its intent to file a 

certification with the Commission that 

the PSAP is not ready to receive and use 

the information. The PSAP is permitted 

to send a response to the carriers’ 

notification to affirm that it is not ready 

to receive E911 information or to 

challenge the carrier’s characterization 

of its state of readiness. Carriers are 

required to include any response they 

receive from the PSAP to their 

certification filing to the Commission. 

(c) The Commission clarified that 

nothing in its rules prevented wireless 

carriers and PSAPs from mutually 

agreeing to an E911 deployment 

schedule at variance with the schedule 

contained in the Commission’s rules. 

Carriers and PSAPs may choose to 

participate in the certification and 

private negotiation process. The 

Commission does not require 

participation. 

The Commission will use the 

certification filings from wireless 

carriers to determine each carrier’s 

compliance with its E911 obligations. 

The Commission will review carrier 

certifications to ensure that carriers 

have sufficiently explained the basis for 

their conclusion that a particular PSAP 

will not be ready and have identified all 

of the specific steps the PSAP has taken 

to provide the requested service. The 

Commission retains the discretion to 

investigate a carrier’s certification and 

take enforcement action if appropriate. 

The requirement that carriers notify 

affected PSAPs in writing of their 

challenge, including a copy of the 

certification, will afford PSAPs an 

opportunity to review proposed 

certifications and present their 

respective views about their readiness to 

receive and use E911 information to the 

carrier and the Commission. The 

Commission will review the PSAP 

responses to determine whether there 

are any PSAP objections to particular 

certification filings. The clarification 

regarding mutually agreed upon 

alternative implementation schedules 

necessarily entails a third-party contact 

information burden. However, the 

affected entities will receive the benefit 

of being able to adopt an E911 

implementation schedule best suited to 

the specific circumstances.
