Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated Authority, Comments Requested
July 15, 2008.
SUMMARY:
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on the following information collection(s). Comments are requested concerning (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid OMB control number.
DATES:
Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 19, 2008. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES:
Submit your comments by e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov. Include in the e-mail the OMB control number of the collection. If you are unable to submit your comments by e-mail contact the person listed below to make alternate arrangements.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
For additional information about the information collection(s) or to obtain a copy of the collection send an e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov and include the collection's OMB control number as shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below, or call Jerry Cowden at 202-418-0447.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0987.
Title: 911 Callback Capability; Non-initialized Handsets (47 CFR Sections 20.18(l)(1)(i-iii), 20.18(l)(2)(i-iii)).
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,398 respondents; 226,398 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.014457 hour (range of 30 seconds for labeling each handset to one hour for each respondent's public education effort).
Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. See 47 CFR Sections 20.18(l)(1)(i-iii), 20.18(l)(2)(i-iii).
Total Annual Burden: 3,273 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: In 2003, the Commission modified 47 CFR Section 20.18(l) to further improve the ability of public safety answering points (PSAPs) to respond quickly and efficiently to calls for emergency assistance made from non-service initialized wireless mobile handsets. Non-service-initialized wireless mobile handsets (non-initialized handsets) are not registered for service with any Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licensee. A non-initialized handset lacks a dialable number, but is programmed to make outgoing 911 calls. The Commission addressed issues arising from the inability of a PSAP operator to call back a 911 caller who becomes disconnected when using a non-service-initialized wireless handset. These requirements also apply to manufacturers of 911-only handsets that are manufactured after May 3, 2004.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
