Under the Commission's E911 rules, a wireless carrier must provide
E911 service to a particular Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
within six months only if that PSAP makes a request for the service and
is capable of receiving and utilizing the information provided. In the
City of Richardson, TX, Order on Reconsideration II, the Commission
adopted rules clarifying what constitutes a valid PSAP request so as to
trigger a wireless carrier's obligation to provide service to a PSAP
within six months. The Commission's actions were intended to facilitate
the E911 implementation process by encouraging parties to communicate
with each other early in the implementation process, and to maintain a
constructive, on-going dialog throughout the implementation process.

Service Administrative Company (USAC) annually and/or quarterly. Local
telecommunications carriers that want to participate in the federal
universal service program must make certain informational showings to
demonstrate eligibility. Without such information, NECA and USAC would
not be able to calculate such payments to eligible carriers.
