Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 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 OMB 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 OMB control number.

Total Annual Burden: 792,667 hours.

Needs and Uses: The rules adopted herein establish recordkeeping
requirements for a large variety of entities, including small business
entities. First, each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) may
designate a representative who shall be required to file a
certification with the administrator of the PSAP registry that they are
authorized to place numbers onto that registry. The designated PSAP
representative shall provide contact information including the PSAP
represented, name, title, address, telephone number and email address.
Verified PSAPs shall be permitted to upload to the registry any PSAP
telephone associated with the provision of emergency services or
communications with other public safety agencies. On an annual basis
designated PSAP representatives shall access the registry, review their
numbers and remove any ineligible numbers from the registry. Second, an
operator of automatic dialing equipment (OADE) is prohibited from
contacting any number on the PSAP registry. Each OADE must register for
access to the PSAP registry by providing contact information which
includes name, business address, contact person, telephone number,
email, and all outbound telephone numbers used to place autodialed
calls. All such contact information must be updated within 30 days of
any change. In addition, the OADE must certify that it is accessing the
registry solely to prevent autodialed calls to numbers on the registry.
An OADE must access and employ a version of the PSAP registry obtained
from the registry administrator no more than 31 days prior to the date
any call is made, and maintain record documenting this process. No
person or entity may sell, rent, lease, purchase, share, or use the
PSAP registry for any purpose expect to comply with our rules
prohibiting contact with numbers on the registry.
