FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority
February 23, 2004.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid 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 (PRA) that does not display a valid
control number. 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.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted
on or before May 3, 2004. 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: Direct all Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0939.
Title: E911, Second Memorandum Opinion and Order.
Form No.: N/A.

[[Page 9828]]
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions; and state, local and tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Needs and Uses: In an effort to minimize delays in Enhanced 911
rule implementation, the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order provides
that, in the case of disputes between wireless carriers and public
safety answering points regarding E911 transmission methods or other
technology, the parties involved may petition for Commission assistance
in resolving their dispute. Thus, in order for the Commission to
participate in negotiations, petitioners will have to provide the
Commission with certain data concerning the dispute.
OMB Control Number: 3060-1060.
Title: Wireless E911 Coordination Initiative Letter.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: State, local and tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 36.
Estimated Time per Response: .75 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting
requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 27 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission requests
continued OMB clearance for an information collection requirement,
implemented in a letter that was sent, following the FCC's Second E911
Coordination Initiative, to pertinent State officials who had been
appointed to oversee their States' programs to implement emergency
(E911) Phase II service. This is necessary for this voluntary reporting
collection so that the Commission can correct serious inaccuracies and
have up-to-date information to ensure the integrity of the Commission's
database of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) throughout the
nation. The accurate compiling and maintaining of this database is an
inherent part of the Commission's effort to achieve the expeditious
implementation of E911 service across the nation and to ensure homeland
security.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
