The Commission needs to renew this
collection to maintain the ability of public safety answering
points (PSAPs) to respond quickly to calls for emergency assistance
made from non-service initialized wireless mobile handsets. The
required collection assists PASP operators in identifying incoming
emergency calls originating from non-initialized handsets and in
prompting them to obtain all the necessary information to locate
and assist the caller. Similarly, the public education requirement
and the labeling requirement serve to advise consumers of the
limitations of a non-initialized handsets.
