This collection is needed to ensure that PSAPs are ready to receive E911 Phase I or Phase II location information when the wireless carrier's obligation to deliver that information becomes due. This will reduce the possibility of both carriers and PSAPs investing time and money before the PSAP is actually E911-capable.
The Commission is reporting adjustments/decreases to this information collection since the last submission to OMB. The total respondents increased from 877 to 1,048 (+171), the total annual responses decreased from 744 to 567 (-177), and the total annual burden hours decreased from 698 to 527 (-171). These significant reductions to this collection are based on the most current available data from the National Emergency Number Association.
