The FCC must be able to contact its licensees and permittees in a communications emergency. The Commission through its newly-form Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is now updating the previously approved approved Emergency Contact Information form witha Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS) that uses an electronic screen that participants may complete using an Internet-based graphical user interface. The Commission is updating the process by increasing the number of reporting entities to ensure inclusion of wireless, wireline, broadcast, cable and satellite companies. We will also collect emergency contact information for federal, state and local emergency management entities. This will provide the Commission with up-to-date emergency contact and other important information during an emergency event.

The FCC has significantly changed this information collection from a paper-based form in which the Commission solicited emergency information via telephone annually. The Commission now obtains this information on a voluntary basis into a database that wireless, wireline, broadcast, cable and satellite companies will enter emergency contact information. The Commission previously estimated 89 respondents/responses and only 15 hours of annual burden. We are now reporting new estimates of respondents/responses.
