SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1085.
    Title: Section 9.5, Interconnected Voice Over Internet Protocol 
(VoIP) E911 Compliance.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 12 respondents; 14,971,342 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 50,062 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement and third party 
disclosure requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47. U.S.C. Sections 151, 154(i)-
(j), 251(e), 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 600,743 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $80,235,305.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is obligated by statute to promote 
``safety of life and property'' and to ``encourage and facilitate the 
prompt deployment throughout the United States of a seamless, 
ubiquitous, and reliable end-to-end infrastructure'' for public safety. 
Congress has established 911 as the national emergency number to enable 
all citizens to reach emergency services directly and efficiently, 
irrespective of whether a citizen uses wireline or wireless technology 
when calling for help by dialing 911. Efforts by federal, state and 
local government, along with the significant efforts of wireline and 
wireless service providers, have resulted in the nearly ubiquitous 
deployment of this life-saving service.
    The Order the Commission adopted on May 19, 2005, sets forth rules 
requiring providers of VoIP services that interconnect with the 
nation's existing public switched telephone network (interconnected 
VoIP services) to supply E911 capabilities to their customers. To 
ensure E911 functionality for customers of VoIP service providers the 
Commission requires the following information collections:
    A. Location Registration. Requires providers to interconnected VoIP 
services to obtain location information from their customers for use in 
the routing of 911 calls and the provision of location information to 
emergency answering points.
    B. Provision of Automatic Location Information (ALI). 
Interconnected VoIP service providers will place the location 
information for their customers into, or make that information 
available through, specialized databases maintained by local exchange 
carriers (and, in at least one case, a state government) across the 
country.
    C. Customer Notification. Requires that all providers of 
interconnected VoIP are aware of their interconnected VoIP service's 
actual E911 capabilities. That all providers of interconnected VoIP 
service specifically advise every subscriber, both new and existing, 
prominently and in plain language, the circumstances under which E911 
service may not be available through the interconnected VoIP service or 
may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional E911 service.
    D. Record of Customer Notification. Requires VoIP providers to 
obtain and keep a record of affirmative acknowledgement by every 
subscriber, both new and existing, of having received and understood 
this advisory.
    E. User Notification. In addition, in order to ensure to the extent 
possible that the advisory is available to all potential users of an 
interconnected VoIP service, interconnected VoIP service providers must 
distribute to all subscribers, both new and existing, warning stickers 
or other appropriate labels warning subscribers if E911 service may be 
limited or not available and instructing the subscriber to place them 
on or near the customer premises
