			 emergency service provider, relaying a message to the appropriate provider, or
			 transferring the call to the appropriate provider. For purposes of this
			 chapter, PSAP's are divided into two types, primary PSAP and secondary PSAP.
(1) Primary PSAP: An abbreviation for a
			 public safety answering point that operates on a twenty-four hour basis; and

			 request for emergency assistance and relay those requests to an appropriate
			 responding public safety responder or agency.
(2) Secondary PSAP: An abbreviation for a
			 public safety answering point that operates as a dispatch center for a public
			 safety agency and receives rollover and/or transferred wireless, and direct or
			 rollover and/or transferred wireline 9-1-1 requests.

(A)
								When a PSAP is
			 found out of compliance with any rule contained in this chapter, the office of

			 coordinator and offer assistance in complying with the rule. The state 9-1-1
			 administrator will also notify the county 9-1-1 planning committee of a
			 sixty-day time period to correct the issue and achieve
			 compliance.

			 PSAP has not achieved compliance within the sixty-day time period, the office
			 of state 9-1-1 administrator will notify the county 9-1-1 coordinator that the
			 administrator finds the county out of compliance and county 9-1-1 coordinator
			 will be scheduled for appearance before the ESINet steering committee within
			 sixty days. The ESINet steering committee will review the issue, hear from the
			 interested parties and make a formal determination of whether the PSAP is out
			 of compliance with the established rule.
