FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Approved by the Office
of Management and Budget
February 22, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public
information collection(s) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and any
suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the person
listed in the ``For Further Information Contact'' section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Stelzig on (202) 418-0942 or e-
mail at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1131.
OMB Approval Date: 12/03/2009.
Expiration Date: 12/31/2012.
Title: Implementation of the NET 911 Improvement ACT of 2008:
Location Information from Owners and Controllers of 911 and E911
Capabilities.
Form Number: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 60 responses; 0.0833 hours (5 minutes)
hours per response; 5 hours total per year.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in the
New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008 (NET 911
Act), Public Law 110-283, Stat. 2620 (2008) (to be codified at 47 CFR
Section 615a-1), and section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: To implement section 222 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Commission's rules
impose a general duty on carriers to protect the privacy of customer
proprietary network information and carrier proprietary information
from unauthorized disclosure. See 47 CFR 64.2001 et seq. In the Order,
the Commission additionally has clarified that the Commission's rules
contemplate that incumbent LECs and other owners or controllers of 911
or E911 infrastructure will acquire information regarding
interconnected VoIP providers and their customers for use in the
provision of emergency services. We fully expect that these entities
will use the information only for the provision of E911 services. To be
clear, no entity may use customer information obtained as a result of
the provision of 911 or E911 services for marketing purposes.
Needs and Uses: In a Report and Order, FCC 08-249, WC Docket No.
08-171, the FCC requires an owner or controller of a 911 or enhanced
911 (E911) capability to make that capability available to a requesting
interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) provider in certain
circumstances. This requirement involves the collection and disclosure
to emergency services personnel of customers' location information. In
a previous action, the Commission required interconnected VoIP
providers to collect certain location information from their customers
and disclose it to the entities that owner or control an Automatic
Location Information (ALI) database. That OMB-approved requirement is
under OMB Control Number 3060-1085. All the relevant costs of the
entities that own or control an ALI database were previously described
in 3060-1085. The Commission has calculated the paperwork burdens of
this present item in such a way as to prevent double counting for OMB's
inventory.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
