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 an
adjustment/decrease to this information collection since the last
submission to OMB. The total respondents decreased from 1,048 to
675 (-373), the total annual responses, 567, did not change, and
the total annual burden hours, 527, did not change. These
significant reductions to the number of respondents to this
collection are based on the most current available data from the
Commission. No program changes are being reported.
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
