burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

Title: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Standardizes Carrier
Reporting on Wireless E911 Implementation.
Form No.: N/A.
[[Page 34607]]
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 251 respondents, 303 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 5 hours (Tier II Reports), 4 hours
(Tier III Reports).
Frequency of Response: Quarterly, semi-annual and one-time
reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 1,282 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Needs and Uses: Nationwide wireless carriers (Tier I) generally
must file quarterly reports with the Commission on February 1, May 1,
August 1 and November 1 of each year. Mid-sized wireless carriers (Tier
II) also are required to file quarterly reports under this same time
schedule. A format for the submission of the quarterly reports is being
established to require that beginning with the August 1, 2003 filing,
Tier I and II carriers must include with their quarterly reports an
Excel spreadsheet detailing certain elements related to E911
implementation status at requesting Public Service Answering Points
(PSAPs). Small wireless carriers (Tier III) are not required to submit
the spreadsheet with their E911 interim reports, which are due on
August 1, 2003, as a one-time filing.
The quarterly reports will continue to be used by the Commission to
monitor carrier progress in transition to E911. The Bureau is
establishing the format of the data to be submitted in order to permit
the Commission to track wireless E911 deployment in a more uniform and
consistent manner, as well as to assist E911 stakeholders in
coordinating their deployment efforts.
Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Secretary.
