Abstract: The goal of this proceeding is to advance the transition to NG911, which, in its end state, will facilitate interoperability and 911 system resilience, improve connections between 911 call centers, and support the transmission of text, photos, videos, and data to PSAPs by individuals seeking emergency assistance. We require originating service providers (OSPs) to take steps in two phases to complete all translation and routing to deliver 911 traffic, including associated routing and location information, to 911 Authorities in the requested IP-based format. We are requiring 911 Authorities that wish to make Phase 1 or Phase 2 valid requests for delivery of 911 traffic in IP-based formats to provide notification containing certain certifications and information to either OSPs or to a registry to be made available by the Commission. We permit OSPs to file a petition to challenge 911 Authority requests, 911 Authorities to file oppositions, and OSPs to file replies. Finally, if a 911 Authority and an OSP enters into a voluntary mutual agreement that establishes a terms or terms different from the Commission's rules, the OSP must notify the Commission and provide information about alternative term(s) and transition deadline(s).
