Abstract: Consistent with the Enhance 911 Act, and in order to monitor compliance with the requirements of Section 20.18(g)(1)(v) of the Commission's rules, the Commission has imposed reporting requirements on wireless service providers and has implemented an Excel spreadsheet for Tier I and II carriers to report their E911 information as an appendix to their narrative reports. This allows the Commission to track E911 deployment in a more uniform and consistent manner, as well as assist E911 stakeholders in coordinating their deployment efforts.
