As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; 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; and 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 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 PRA 
that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before January 5, 
2016. 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 PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Approval Number: 3060-xxxx.
    Title: Ensuring Continuity of 911 Communications Report and Order.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Respondents: Business or for profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 570 respondents; 570 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0-70 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Initial point of sale disclosure and third 
party disclosure requirement which occurs on an annual basis.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
sections 1, 4(i), and 251(e)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 251(e)(3); section 101 of the NET 911 
Improvement Act of 2008, Pub. L. 110-283, 47 U.S.C. 615a-1; and section 
106 of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility 
Act of 2010, Public Law 111-260, 47 U.S.C. 615c.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,888 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the 
Commission.
    Needs and Uses: We create new section 12.5 of our rules to place 
limited backup power obligations on providers of facilities-based 
fixed, residential voice services that are not line-powered to ensure 
that such service providers meet their obligation to provide access to 
911 service during a power outage, and to provide clarity for the role 
of consumers and their communities should they elect not to purchase 
backup power.
    Specifically, we require providers to disclose to subscribers the 
following information: (1) Availability of backup power sources; (2) 
service limitations with and without backup power during a power 
outage; (3) purchase and replacement options; (4) expected backup power 
duration; (5) proper usage

[[Page 68870]]

and storage conditions for the backup power source; (6) subscriber 
backup power self-testing and monitoring instructions; and (7) backup 
power warranty details, if any. Each element of this information must 
be given to subscribers both at the point of sale and annually 
thereafter, as described in the rule.
    The disclosure requirements are intended to equip subscribers with 
necessary information to purchase and maintain a source of backup power 
to enhance their ability to maintain access to reliable 911 service 
from their homes.
    We permit providers to convey both the initial and annual 
disclosures and information described above by any means reasonably 
calculated to reach the individual subscriber. For example, a provider 
may meet this obligation through a combination of disclosures via 
email, an online billing statement, or other digital or electronic 
means for subscribers that communicate with the provider through these 
means. For a subscriber that does not communicate with the provider 
through email and/or online billing statements--such as someone who 
ordered service on the phone or in a physical store and receives a 
paper bill by regular mail--email would not be a means reasonably 
calculated to reach that subscriber.

Secretary.
