Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission, 

Comments Requested 

June 30, 2009. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

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 

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 

information collected; and (d) 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. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before September 11, 

2009. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget, via fax at 202–

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 

and one time 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. 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 more 

responses. Therefore, the total annual 

burden hour estimate has increased by 

3,592 hours. These adjusted increases 

reflect more accurate estimates. 

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.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 09–03] 

Naveena Exports, Ltd. v. Go-Trans, 

Inc.; Notice of Complaint and 

Assignment 

Notice is given that a complaint has 

been filed with the Federal Maritime 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) by 

Naveena Exports, Ltd., hereinafter 

‘‘Complainant.’’ Complainant asserts 

that it is a foreign limited partnership 

organized under the laws of the State of 

Pakistan that manufactures and imports 

apparel goods to the United States. 

Complainant alleges that Respondent 

Go-Trans, Inc., is an Ocean 

Transportation Intermediary organized 

under the laws of the State of New York. 

Complainant states that between April 

2008 and July 2008, Complainant used 

Respondent to ship apparel goods from 

Karachi, Pakistan to the United States 

for delivery to Ambition Apparel, Inc., 

hereinafter ‘‘Buyer.’’ Complainant 

further states that Respondent released 

four containers of apparel to Buyer 

without being presented an original 

house bill of lading and without 

Complainant’s consent. Complainant 

asserts that no payment has been 

received from Buyer for the shipped 

goods and control of the goods has been 

lost. Complainant contends that 

Respondent’s actions violated the 

Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, by 

failing to establish, observe, and enforce 

just and reasonable regulations and 

practices relating to or connected with 

receiving, handling, storing, or 

delivering property. 46 U.S.C. 41102(c).
