Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
the Office of Management and Budget

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, the

information technology; and ways to further reduce the information 
collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees.
    The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1202.
    Title: Improving 9-1-1 Reliability; Reliability and Continuity of 
Communications Networks, Including Broadband Technologies.
    Form Number: Not Applicable (annual on-line certification).
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 200 respondents; 200 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: Varies by respondent. Average of 837 
hours per respondent.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 167,350 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. The statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), 4(o), 
201(b), 214(d), 218, 251(e)(3), 301, 303(b), 303(g), 303(r), 307, 
309(a), 316, 332, 403, 615a-1, and 615c of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i)-(j) & (o), 201(b), 214(d), 218, 
251(e)(3), 301, 303(b), 303(g), 303(r), 307, 309(a), 316, 332, 403, 
615a-1, and 615c.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission does not 
consider the fact of filing a certification to be confidential or the 
responses provided on the face of the certification. The Commission 
will treat as presumptively confidential and exempt from routine public 
disclosure under the federal Freedom of Information Act: (1) 
Descriptions and documentation of alternative measures to mitigate the 
risks of nonconformance with certification standards; (2) information 
detailing specific corrective actions taken; and (3) supplemental 
information requested by the Commission or Bureau with respect to a 
certification.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: This is a revision of an information collection 
necessary to ensure that all Americans have access to reliable and 
resilient 911 communications, particularly in times of emergency, by 
requiring certain 911 service providers to certify implementation of 
key best practices or reasonable alternative measures. The information 
will be collected in the form of an electronically-filed, annual 
certification from each Covered 911 Service Provider, as defined in the 
Commission's 2013 Report and Order, in which the provider will indicate 
whether it has implemented certain industry-backed best practices. 
Providers that are able to respond in the affirmative to all elements 
of the certification will be deemed to satisfy the ``reasonable 
measures'' requirement in Section 12.4(b) of the Commission's rules. If 
a provider does not certify in the affirmative with respect to one or 
more elements of the certification, it must provide a brief explanation 
of what alternative measures it has taken, in light of the provider's 
particular facts and circumstances, to ensure reliable 911 service with 
respect to that element(s). Similarly, a service provider may also 
respond by demonstrating that a particular certification element is not 
applicable to its networks and must include a brief explanation of why 
the element(s) does not apply.
    The information will be collected by the Public Safety and Homeland 
Security Bureau, FCC, for review and analysis, to verify that Covered 
911 Service Providers are taking reasonable measures to maintain 
reliable 911 service. In certain cases, based on the information 
included in the certifications and subsequent coordination with the 
provider, the Commission may require remedial action to correct 
vulnerabilities in a service provider's 911 network if it determines 
that (a) the service provider has not, in fact, adhered to the best 
practices incorporated in the FCC's rules, or (b) in the case of 
providers employing alternative measures, that those measures were not 
reasonably sufficient to mitigate the associated risks of failure in 
these key areas. The Commission delegated authority to the Bureau to 
review certification information and follow up with service providers 
as appropriate to address deficiencies revealed by the certification 
process.
    The purpose of the collection of this information is to verify that 
Covered 911 Service Providers are taking reasonable measures such that 
their networks comply with accepted best practices, and that, in the 
event they are not able to certify adherence to specific best 
practices, that they are taking reasonable alternative measures. The 
Commission

[[Page 46493]]

adopted these rules in light of widespread 911 outages during the June 
2012 derecho storm in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states, which 
revealed that multiple service providers did not take adequate 
precautions to maintain reliable service.
