FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
May 9, 2002.
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 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 comments should be submitted on or before June 19, 2002.
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 comments to Judith Boley Herman, Federal
Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554
or via the Internet to jboley@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0954.
Title: Implementation of the 911 Act.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, state, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 800.
Estimated Time Per Response: .50-2 hours (average).
Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement, on
occasion reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 3,100 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Needs and Uses: On January 11, 2002, the Commission received
emergency OMB approval for information collection burdens contained in
rules adopted in a Fifth Report and Order, in CC Docket No. 92-105,
First Report and Order in WT Docket No. 00-110, and Memorandum Opinion
and Order on Reconsideration in both dockets, regarding implementation
of the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999. The
approval expires on June 30, 2002. Therefore, the Commission now
resubmits this information collection, with no change, to the Office of
Management and Budget for the regular three-year approval. The
Commission requires certain carriers to file various transition
reports. Those affected carriers are only: (1) Those operating in
counties where there is no 911 service; (2) those operating in counties
that are in the process of implementing 911; or (3) those operating in
counties that have basic 911 service only in some parts as summarized
by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) in its Report Card
to the Nation (Congressional Summary, 2001), and more specifically
identified in the list NENA has submitted at the Commission's request.
In addition, in March 2002, the Commission issued a Public Notice in
which it offered a suggested template or sample as an optional guide to
completing these reports. The coordination requirements will help to
minimize the chances of confusion between all concerned parties and
will improve the chances of a smooth, speedy transition to 911 service.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
