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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
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).
