FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested

July 15, 2008.
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to comment on the following
information collection(s). 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. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB 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 that does not display a valid OMB control
number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September
19, 2008. 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: Submit your comments by e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov. Include in
the e-mail the OMB control number of the collection. If you are unable
to submit your comments by e-mail contact the person listed below to
make alternate arrangements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
information collection(s) or to obtain a copy of the collection send an
e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov and include the collection's OMB control number
as shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below, or call Jerry
Cowden at 202-418-0447.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0987.
    Title: 911 Callback Capability; Non-initialized Handsets (47 CFR
Sections 20.18(l)(1)(i-iii), 20.18(l)(2)(i-iii)).
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,398 respondents; 226,398
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.014457 hour (range of 30 seconds for
labeling each handset to one hour for each respondent's public
education effort).
    Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. See 47 CFR Sections
20.18(l)(1)(i-iii), 20.18(l)(2)(i-iii).
    Total Annual Burden: 3,273 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: In 2003, the Commission modified 47 CFR Section
20.18(l) to further improve the ability of public safety answering
points (PSAPs) to respond quickly and efficiently to calls for
emergency assistance made from non-service initialized wireless mobile
handsets. Non-service-initialized wireless mobile handsets (non-
initialized handsets) are not registered for service with any
Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licensee. A non-initialized
handset lacks a dialable number, but is programmed to make outgoing 911
calls. The Commission addressed issues arising from the inability of a
PSAP operator to call back a 911 caller who becomes disconnected when
using a non-service-initialized wireless handset. These requirements
also apply to manufacturers of 911-only handsets that are manufactured
after May 3, 2004.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
