This is a request for extension of a
currently-approved information collection. The information to be
collected in the National 911 Profile Database includes data
voluntarily submitted annually by State, territorial, and District
of Columbia 911 agencies to the National 911 Program. The data
collected is used to evaluate the status of 911 programs across the
country, along with their progress in implementing upgraded and
advanced systems and capabilities for emergency responses. The
results of the collection and analysis are posted in an annual
report available to the public. The information collection in this
request for extension continues in the same survey format as used
during the last three years. The survey’s 56 data elements fall
within two major categories: baseline and progress benchmarks. •
“Baseline” data elements (25 data elements) reflect the current
status and nature of 911 operations from State to State. These
elements are largely descriptive in nature, are intended to provide
a general view of existing 911 services across the country, and are
grouped within five categories: o Total 911 Calls and Call Type
(six data elements) o Number of Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) and Equipment Positions (eight data elements) o Emergency
Medical Dispatch and Operations (three data elements) o
Call-Handling Quality Assurance (three data elements) o Minimum
Training Requirements (five data elements) • “Progress benchmarks”
(31 data elements) reflect the status of State efforts to implement
advanced next generation 911 systems and capabilities. As titled,
these data elements are largely implementation or deployment
benchmarks against which progress can be measured. o Planning (four
data elements) o Procurement (eleven data elements) o Transition
(three data elements) o Operations (four data elements) o Maturity
Level (nine data elements) There are no changes or adjustments to
the burden since the last OMB approval and NHTSA continues to
estimate the burden of this collection to be 5,488 hours.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
