(1) Within six months of a request by the designated public safety answering point as set forth in WAC 118-67-100, RCSCs must provide the telephone number of the originator of a 9-1-1 call and the location of the cell site or base station receiving a 9-1-1 call from any mobile handset accessing their systems to the designated public safety answering point through the use of ANI and pseudo-ANI.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 38.52.561. WSR 04-01-066, § 118-67-060, filed 12/12/03, effective 1/12/04.]
118-67-070
Phase II enhanced 9-1-1 service.
RCSCs must provide to the designated public safety answering point, Phase II enhanced 9-1-1 service, i.e., the location of all 9-1-1 calls by longitude and latitude in conformance with Phase II accuracy requirements of WAC 118-67-050.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 38.52.561. WSR 04-01-066, § 118-67-070, filed 12/12/03, effective 1/12/04.]
