The FCC adopted FCC 10-176, PS Docket No. 07-114, Second Report and
Order, requires both handset-based and network-based carriers to file a
list of the specific counties or portions of counties where they are
utilizing their respective exclusions within 90 days following approval
from the OMB for the related information collection. The lists must be
submitted electronically into PS Docket No. 07-114, and copies must be
sent to the National Emergency Number Association, the Association of
Public-Safety Communications Officials-International, and the National
Association of State 9-1-1 Administrators. For network-based carriers,
the exclusion will sunset on (8 years after effective date) of the rule
provide for the exclusion.
The Commission needs the new collection and reporting requirement
for these exclusions to keep the Commission, public safety
organizations, and state and local jurisdictions informed of the
specific counties and areas in those counties where wireless carriers
are unable to comply with the Commission's amended location accuracy
requirements. The information sought in this information collection is
also needed to enable the Commission to ensure that all wireless
licenses are compliant with the amended location accuracy standards by
the end of newly adopted benchmark periods.
Federal Communications Commission.
