Abstract: Under the reporting requirements established in the SCS Report and Order, terrestrial providers that utilize SCS arrangements to expand their coverage areas for providing service must disclose certain information to the Commission regarding SCS 911 voice calls and 911 text messages. Such requirements are consistent with reporting requirements that apply to MSS providers under section 9.18(b) of FCC rules and location-based routing reporting requirements that apply to terrestrial providers under section 9.10(s) of FCC rules. Accordingly, the Commission requires that terrestrial providers that utilize SCS to extend coverage must 1) Maintain records of SCS 911 voice calls and 911 text messages received under their SCS arrangements and received at their emergency call centers; 2) Submit annual reports according to the compliance dates of new section 9.10(t)(3) of the rules in the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS); 3) Submit the required reports to the Commission by October 15th of each year regarding SCS 911 voice calls and 911 text messages, and emergency call center data, current as of September 30th of that year; 4) Certify that neither they nor any third party they rely on to obtain SCS location information will use that information or associated data for any non-911 purpose, except with prior express consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law; and 5) Each terrestrial provider that uses SCS arrangements to supplement its coverage must advise every subscriber, both new and existing, prominently and in plain language, of the circumstances under which 911 service for calls or texts may not be available through SCS or may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional E911 service.
