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 surveyâs 56 data elements fall within two major categories: baseline and progress benchmarks.
⢠âBaselineâ 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)
⢠âProgress benchmarksâ (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).
