Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. 
Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimates and any

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy May, Policy and Licensing 
Division, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, at (202) 418-
1463, or email: timothy.may@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document announces that, on April 20, 
2015, OMB approved the information collection requirements relating to 
the text-to-911 rules contained in the Commission's Second Report and 
Order, FCC 14-118, published at 79 FR 55367, September 16, 2014. The 
OMB Control Number is 3060-1204. If you have any comments on the burden 
estimates listed below, or how the Commission can improve the 
collections and reduce any burdens caused thereby, please contact 
Nicole Ongele, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-A620, 445 12th 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. Please include the OMB Control 
Number, 3060-1204, in your correspondence. The Commission will also 
accept your comments via email at PRA@fcc.gov.
    To request materials in accessible formats for people with 
disabilities (Braille, large print, electronic files, audio format), 
send an email to fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer and Governmental 
Affairs Bureau at (202) 418-0530 (voice), (202) 418-0432 (TTY).
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1204.
    OMB Approval Date: April 20, 2015.
    OMB Expiration Date: April 30, 2018.
    Title: Deployment of Text-to-911.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not for profit 
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,370 respondents; 58,012 
responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-8 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One time reporting requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 76,237 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: None.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 
154(j), 154(o), 251(e), 303(b), 303(g), 303(r), 316, and 403.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This information collection does not 
affect individuals or households, and therefore a privacy impact 
assessment is not required.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with 
respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality 
of any proprietary or business-sensitive information are resolved in a 
manner consistent with the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: On August 13, 2014, the Commission released the 
Order, FCC 14-118, published at 79 FR 55367, September 16, 2014, 
adopting final rules--containing information collection requirements--
to enable the Commission to implement text-to-911 service, providing 
enhanced access to emergency services for people with disabilities and 
fulfilling a crucial role as an alternative means of emergency 
communication for the general public in situations where sending a text 
message to 911 as opposed to placing a voice call could be vital to the 
caller's safety. The Second Report and Order adopts new rules to 
commence the implementation of text-to-911 service with an initial 
deadline of December 31, 2014 for all covered text providers to be 
capable of supporting text-to-911 service. The Second Report and Order 
also provides that covered text providers then have a six-month 
implementation period--they must begin routing all 911 text messages to 
a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by June 30, 2015 or within six 
months of a valid PSAP request for text-to-911 service, whichever is 
later. To implement these requirements, the Commission seeks to collect 
information primarily for a database in which PSAPs will voluntarily 
register that they are technically ready to receive text messages to 
911. As PSAPs become text-ready, they may either register in the PSAP 
database (or, if the database is not yet available, submit a 
notification to PS Docket Nos. 10-255 and 11-153), or provide other 
written notification reasonably acceptable to a covered text messaging 
provider. Either measure taken by the PSAP shall constitute sufficient 
notification pursuant to the adopted rules in the Second Report and 
Order. PSAPs and covered text providers may mutually agree to an 
alternative implementation timeframe (other than six months). Covered 
text providers must notify the FCC of the dates and terms of the 
alternate timeframe that they have mutually agreed on with PSAPs within 
30 days of the parties' agreement.

[[Page 28272]]

    Additionally, the rules adopted by the Second Report and Order 
include other information collections for third party notifications 
that need to be effective in order to implement text-to-911, including 
necessary notifications to consumers, covered text providers, and the 
Commission. These notifications are essential to ensure that all of the 
affected parties are aware of the limitations, capabilities, and status 
of text-to-911 services. These information collections will enable the 
Commission to meet the objectives for the implementation of text-to-911 
service as of December 31, 2014 and for compliance by covered text 
providers with the six-month implementation period in furtherance of 
the Commission's core mission to ensure the public's safety.

Secretary.
