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 current 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 Act (PRA) comments should be submitted on or before June 19, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control No.: 3060-0910.

Title: Third Report and Order in CC Docket No. 94-102 To Ensure Compatibility with Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Repondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, and State, local or tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 4,000.

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours.

Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information collection to OMB as a revision in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The previous PRA submission to OMB were based on two filings—an initial report of each carrier's plan for E911 Phase II and any subsequent report of change in that plan. Each report was expected to take one hour to complete. The initial reports were filed in 2000, so that the only remaining reporting requirement under this OMB control number is updates or changes in the plans filed by carriers. The information submitted to the Commission will provide public service answering points (PSAPs), providers of location technology, investors, manufacturers, local exchange carriers, and the Commission with valuable information necessary for preparing for full Phase II E911 implementation. These reports will provide helpful, if not essential information, for coordinating carrier plans with those of manufacturers and PSAPs. Also, they will assist the Commission's efforts to monitor Phase II developments and to take necessary actions to maintain the Phase II developments and to take necessary actions to maintain the Phase II implementation schedule.

Federal Communications Commission.

Marlene H. Dortch,

Secretary.
