Abstract: The Commission’s Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order (FCC 00-326, CC Docket No. 94-102) sets forth guidelines for filing successful requests for waiver of E911 Phase II rules. Wireless carriers are instructed to submit waiver requests that are specific, focused and limited in scope, and with a clear path to compliance. A waiver request must specify the solutions considered and explain why none could be employed in a way that complies to the Phase II rules. If deployment must be delayed, the carrier should specify the reason for the delay and provide a revised schedule.
