The Commission's Third Report and Order in PS Docket No. 07-114
adopted a rule providing that new CMRS network providers meeting the
definition of covered CMRS providers in Section 9.10 and deploying new
stand-alone networks must meet the handset-based location accuracy
standard in delivering emergency calls for Enhanced 911 service. The
rule requires that new stand-alone CMRS providers must satisfy the
handset-based location accuracy standard at either a county-based or
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)-based geographic level.
Additionally, in accordance with the pre-existing requirements for CMRS
providers using handset-based location
[[Page 24835]]
technologies, new stand-alone CMRS providers are permitted to exclude
up to 15 percent of the counties or PSAP areas they serve due to heavy
forestation that limits handset-based technology accuracy in those
counties or areas but are required to file a an initial list of the
specific counties or portions of counties where they are utilizing
their respective exclusions.
A. Updated Exclusion Reports. Under this information collection and
pursuant to current rule section 9.10(h) new stand-alone CMRS providers
and existing CMRS providers that have filed initial exclusion reports
are required to file reports informing the Commission of any changes to
their exclusion lists within thirty days of discovering such changes.
The permitted exclusions properly but narrowly account for the known
technical limitations of either the handset-based or network-based
location accuracy technologies chosen by a CMRS provider, while
ensuring that the public safety community and the public at large are
sufficiently informed of these limitations.
B. Confidence and Uncertainty Data. Under this information
collection and pursuant to current rule section 9.10(h), all CMRS
providers and other entities responsible for transporting confidence
and uncertainty data between the wireless carriers and PSAPs, including
LECs, CLECs, owners of E911 networks, and emergency service providers
(collectively, System Service Providers (SSPs)) must continue to
provide confidence and uncertainty data of wireless 911 calls to Public
Safety Answering Points (PSAP) on a per call basis upon a PSAP's
request. New stand-alone wireless carriers also incur this obligation.
The transport of the confidence and uncertainty data is needed to
ensure the delivery of accurate location information with E911 service.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
