The purpose of the information collection is to meet the Commission’s ongoing statutory obligations under the New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008, Pub. L. No. 110-283, 122 Stat. 2620 (2008) (NET 911 Act), and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Pub. L. No. 116-260, Division FF, Title IX, Section 902, Don’t Break Up the T-Band Act of 2020 (section 902), which require the Commission to submit an annual report “detailing the status in each State of the collection and distribution of [911 fees or charges], and including findings on the amount of revenues obligated or expended by each State or political subdivision thereof for any purpose or function other than the purposes and functions designated in [final rules issued by the Commission] as purposes and functions for which the obligation or expenditure of any such fees or charges is acceptable.” This information collection will also help the Commission meet its obligation under 47 U.S.C. 615a-1(f)(4), as amended by section 902, which provides that “[i]f a State or taxing jurisdiction . . . receives a grant under section 942 of this title after December 27, 2020, such State or taxing jurisdiction shall, as a condition of receiving such grant, provide the information requested by the Commission to prepare [the annual Fee Accountability Report to Congress].”

There is a reported program change for this information collection. The Commission’s previous burden estimate is increasing from 3,080 hours to 3,630 hours (an increase of 550 hours). The total number of respondents and responses per year is increasing from 56 to 66 (an increase of 10 respondents/responses). The reason for this program change is that under section 902(c)(1)(C), a state or taxing jurisdiction that receives a grant under section 158 of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act (47 U.S.C. § 942) after the date of the enactment of section 902 must, “as a condition of receiving such grant,” provide the information requested by the Commission to prepare the annual fee report to Congress. See 47 U.S.C. § 615a-1(f)(4). There currently is no legislation funding such grants. In the event such grants are funded in the future, the Commission estimates that 10 states or taxing jurisdictions per year will file the fee report questionnaire on a one-time basis as a condition of receiving a grant, and we are increasing the burden estimate for this collection accordingly.
