FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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 burden for 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before August 11, 2014. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Benish Shah, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at [email protected]. To 
submit your PRA comments by email send them to: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benish Shah, Office of Managing 
Director, (202) 418-7866.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0987.
    Title: 911 Callback Capability; Non-initialized Handsets (47 CFR 
20.18(l)(1)(i-iii), 20.18 (l)(2)(i-iii)).
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 785 respondents; 225,785 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.0117811 hour (range of 30 seconds 
for labeling each handset to one hour for each respondent's public 
education effort).
    Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure.
    Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 160, 201, 251-
254, 303, and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,660 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: In 2003, the Commission modified 47 CFR 20.18(l) to 
further improve the ability of public safety answering points (PSAPs) 
to respond quickly and efficiently to calls for emergency assistance 
made from non-service initialized wireless mobile handsets. Non-
service-initialized wireless mobile handsets (non-initialized handsets) 
are not registered for service with any Commercial Mobile Radio Service 
(CMRS) licensee. A non-initialized handset lacks a dialable number, but 
is programmed to make outgoing 911 calls. The Commission addressed 
issues arising from the inability of a PSAP operator to call back a 911 
caller who becomes disconnected when using a non-service-initialized 
wireless handset. These requirements also apply to manufacturers of 
911-only handsets that are manufactured after May 3, 2004.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
