On October 17, 2012, the Commission
released a Report and Order, FCC 12-129, adopting rules to
implement the statutory provisions of section 6507 of the Tax
Relief Act. Specifically, the Commission adopted rules that
establish a specialized PSAP Do-Not-Call registry and prohibit the
use of autodialers to contact those registered numbers for
non-emergency purposes. These include requirements for adding PSAP
telephone numbers to the registry, granting and tracking access by
operators of automatic dialing equipment (OADEs), and protecting
the registry from unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of
registered PSAP numbers. In addition, the Commission adopted the
specific monetary penalties contained in section 6507(c) of the Tax
Relief Act for violations of the rules prohibiting contact and
disclosure of the numbers on the registry.
The Commission is submitting
this collection as a new collection. Therefore, the following
program changes will be added to OMB's inventory: +106,500 number
of respondents, +1,446,333 annual number of responses, +792,667
annual burden hours; and $0 annual cost.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
