Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. 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 
22, 2013. 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.

    Needs and Uses: The rules adopted herein establish recordkeeping

certification with the administrator of the PSAP registry that they are 
authorized to place numbers

[[Page 69623]]

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.
