The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on April 2, 2021 during the 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Telecommunications and Information Administration,
Commerce.
Title: 911 Grant Program Closeout Performance Report Request.
OMB Control Number: 06XX-XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
[[Page 30920]]
Type of Request: New information collection.
Number of Respondents: 36.
Average Hours per Response: 60 hours.
Burden Hours: 2,160 hours.
Needs and Uses: In 2012, the Next Generation 911 (NG911)
Advancement Act of 2012 (Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
of 2012, Pub. L. 112-96, Title VI, Subtitle E (codified at 47 U.S.C.
942)) enacted changes to this program. It reauthorized the 911
Implementation Coordination Office (ICO), a joint effort between the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). It delineated
the responsibilities of the ICO to include a joint program to establish
and facilitate coordination and communication between Federal, State,
and local emergency communications systems, emergency personnel, public
safety organizations, telecommunications carriers, and
telecommunications equipment manufacturers and vendors involved in the
implementation of 911 services.
The NG911 Advancement Act provided funding for grants to be used
for the implementation and operation of 911 services, E911 services,
migration to an IP-enabled emergency network, and adoption and
operation of NG911 services and applications; the implementation of IP-
enabled emergency services and applications enabled by NG911 services,
including the establishment of IP backbone networks and the application
layer software infrastructure needed to interconnect the multitude of
emergency response organizations; and training public safety personnel,
including call-takers, first responders, and other individuals and
organizations who are part of the emergency response chain in 911
services. In August 2019, NTIA and NHTSA made $109,250,000 in grant
awards to 36 agencies.
The information collected for the closeout of this grant program
will include various reporting requirements. The closeout performance
report is a new collection instrument. All grantees will submit the
closeout performance report, tangible property report and final
financial report in accordance with 2 CFR part 200, the Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards (OMB Uniform Guidance). It is important for NTIA and
NHTSA to have this information so that they can effectively administer
the grant program and account for the expenditure of funds.
Affected Public: Under this proposed effort, all grantees are
required to submit the required report electronically via email.
Reporting entities are the 36 grantees, making the total maximum number
of respondents 36.
Frequency: One time. The reporting entities will be required to

final financial report.
Respondents' Obligation: Mandatory.
