Abstract:
The Sixth Report and Order (rel. Jul. 17, 2020), adopted expanded deployment options to meet the Commission's vertical location accuracy metric established in this proceeding. In the Fifth Report and Order (rel;. Nov. 24, 2019), the Commission adopted rules that build on the last major revision to its 911 indoor location accuracy rules. Specifically, the Commission established a vertical location accuracy metric consistent with the framework adopted in the 2015 Fourth Report and Order. In the Fourth Report and Order (rel. Feb. 3, 2015), the Commission adopted rules that significantly enhance the ability of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify, with improved accuracy, the location of indoor wireless 911 callers. The rules also strengthen existing E911 location accuracy requirements to improve location determination for outdoor calls as well. The actions in the Sixth, Fifth and Fourth Report and Orders come in response to major changes in the landscape of wireless technology and consumer usage. The Commission seeks to revise this currently approved collection and requests approval of clarifying and expanding the scope of the previously approved information collection requirements.

Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The program changes and adjustments to this collection arise out of the adoption in the Sixth Report and Order of a requirement for CMRS providers to notify customers of the availability of z-axis technology, 47 CFR § 9.10(i)(2)(ii)(J)(4). In addition, the Commission has revised the reporting template for live 911 call data submissions under 47 CFR § 9.10(i)(3)(ii) to facilitate the reporting of vertical (z-axis) information. Further, the Commission has adopted an additional compliance benchmark that will apply during the period covered by this modification request. 47 CFR § 9.10(i)(2)(ii)(G). This additional benchmark will increase the number of compliance certifications filed by CMRS providers under 47 CFR § 9.10(i)(2)(iii). In this supporting statement, we also update the number of CMRS providers (respondents) to reflect 2012 data from the U.S. Census Bureau (+ 173 respondents). In addition, we adjust the burden estimate to zero for several one-time reporting requirements that respondents have already satisfied. In sum, the program changes result in an increase in total responses due (+ 6,503) and decrease in total burdens (- 3,677).
