Abstract: The Commission needs to extend a currently approved collection to include providers of new CMRS networks in its compilation and maintenance of a list of counties and Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) service areas for public safety awareness of areas where CMRS wireless carriers are unable to comply with requirements for location accuracy. The Commission also needs this information to ensure that the existing CMRS providers and third party systems service providers, serving them, continue to transport confidence and uncertainty data for the location of wireless E911 calls to PSAPs on a per-call basis upon a PSAP's request.

Short Statement: There are significant reductions in the estimated burden for this collection resulting in a program change decrease of 21,484 annual burden hours under the currently approved estimate of 53,152 total annual burden hours. This program change reflects the revisions in estimated burden hours due to the Commission's reassessment of the number of existing wireless carriers and new stand-alone wireless carriers that have to comply the current location accuracy requirements.
